| UFOs : REAL or BS? Retired Gen.Barry Goldwater was cussed out by General Curtiss LeMay for asking to see into certain rooms at Wright-Patterson AF base. Air Force fighter pilot and NASA Astronaut Gordon Cooper said he saw a silver disc-like UFO land and take off as he and several others watched and photographed it during a time when Cooper was working on a landing strip in Nevada. Former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan said they saw UFOs. With many sightings and promises to tell all from Presidents as they seeked the White House and after many years of stalling from the AAF and Congress will we ever learn what the UFOs are? Many sightings are probably natural lights in the night sky and some are probably secret "Black" projects (Auroura Hypersonic aircraft?). Some are stories made up by people who wish to sell their latest book or DVD and many are visitors from another world? What do you think? Ever seen a UFO? Will we ever know the real truth? is the Truth out there? If the UFOs and the Black Triangles reported to be silent and very fast (No sonic booms?) and if they can out run our best/fasest airplanes and the AF has tried to shoot them down in the past and failed..... perhaps our Government will never reveal the truth. What do you think? Real flying machines up there or is it mostly BS?  |

| Mostly BS I think, but there has been some strange occurances though, such as this, if you'll excuse the source, the original source is actually the LA Times and it's relevant to this website I suppose since it happened during WW2. http://www.rense.com/ufo/battleofla.htm

| I have witnessed what I believe to be an Unidentified Fying Object, while on deployment in and around the Greek Islands during the middle of the night... It wasnt a helo or aircraft, and moved faster, back and forth, than I could follow with my video camera.... I went down to CIC and verified that there was no radar contact, which there was not, but yet the object was continuing to move in vertical and lateral movements that I would say were impossible for a human being to withstand... And yes, I still have the tape.... We are not the only intelligent species in the galaxy, let alone the universe....

| Thanks for all the replies. I have never seen a UFO but have heard of many signting by reliable persons. One good one was several hunters who saw a huge (200ft. long)black triangle over their hunting camp one night. Silent and floating above them, they could see "Inspection covers,rounded corners",ect. It began to move when a flashlight was turned on it,servo motor sound heard and lights came on underneath it. Drifted off slowly. They called Air Force base and 2 jets flew over area a few hours later as they gave AF Geo coordinates via phone.

I saw a UFO in high school - it hovered over my HS football field for about 20 minutes and then took off. About 20 of us seen it including a teacher. We made the usual calls to the FAA, local military bases, etc., no one had anything to say...

| To assume we are the only intelligent creatures in the universe is very arrogant to say the least. There is others out there. UFO's yes I believe it is possable. I never have seen anything myself but I believe they are out there some place.

| Logic dictates that the sheer number of occurances of various types of encounters over the vast amount of passing time means there is something strange going on. Without pondering exactly what they are we should recognize that something is going on that manifests itself in the visual spectrum as a UFO. Even if there is nothing to it as alien in nature the phenomena of whatever is being seen should be studied.

| A UFO doesn't necessarily mean an alien right? just something u can't identify that flies

| I think the numbers are alittle far from "Everyone".... I believe its more like .2% of the worlds population as seen something unexplainable in the sky.... My father, many years ago, thought he was watching a UFO in the night sky, for several minutes... It turned out to be a Blimp with running lights....

| Well for those of us in the TPBM thread, here is the UFO thread. I too find this topic very curious. For those of you skeptical that intelligent life cannot exist elsewhere you might want to take a look at the URL below. Earth truly is a grain of dust in the cosmic cereal bowl. HubbleSite - Wallpaper Here is a sample. Those smears of lights are literally billions of solar systems. Here is my story. As a 10 year old kid, I happened to look up in the early evening sky and see a disc coming towards me. Right towards me at about 1000ft up or so, a couple miles distant...or so it appeared. The disc was lit up along the edges and was spinning left-to-right. My first reaction was excitement. My next reaction was fear. Don't ask me why. I was scared $@#!less. No sound. While it seemed like minutes, it was likely much less time that I began to hear a droning sound like a propeller airplane. I was shortly after that when I realized I was watching a single engine bi-plane approaching me head-on. What I had misinterpreted as a spinning disc, was actually a lighted billboard with scrolling text running from wingtip-to-wingtip. While I was disappointed, I have never forgotten how bloody scared I was.
