I believe Al is correct. I have no formal training in astrophysics but I do take it upon myself to read every piece of material I can get my hands on. From Stephen Hawking to the lastest space journals. With all that knowledge of the universe and it's vastness, how could anyone believe it's not possible that there is life existing in the far reaches of our universe? They are out there, they have to be. I just wonder how do they get here? Either they live for millions of years or they have found some way to move at the speed of light. You be the judge.

There might not be UFOs. For sure, there are lots of life forms in our galaxy, the universe and perhaps other universes. Some people believe the world is to perfect be be created by chance. Religion is the easy way out, science takes more time and study. If you take a handful of seeds and toss them into the desert a few of them will take root and grow. Same with planets, a few of them will orbit around a sun at the proper distance in a developing atmosphere that will support life and in a few million or billion years intelligence will emerge and eventually explore the universe. It all takes time and that's what these 7 day miracle people don't seem to understand.

Even though this seemed to focus on humor, perhaps as a defense mechanism, it's good to see people in the media who are no longer afraid to lose their jobs or be labeled a nutbag for even giving consideration to the possibility of extra-terrestrial life.

Here're a couple simple facts:
1 - Sane normal people have been seeing flying objects that exhibit properties our science cannot duplicate and/or explain.
2 - The guy who came up with the infamous "swamp gas" explanation, who studied thousands of UFO cases for the government, eventually decided that UFOs are real and most likely originate from another planet.

Resolve that - and I dare it to be done without the CYA giggle defense.

You know, even if life is a stroke of luck, the universe has the numbers to support it millions of times over.

I have never seen a UFO, but the universe is so vast that to think we are the only ones in it is a bit naive. But do I want them to come and land here NO--because just the fact that they can come here--they have to be more intellegent than we are. (we can just barely get to our own moon.) And if they are more intelligent than us, they can control us. And we, as Humans
do not like to be controlled.

Never felt theatened at any time-rather amused at it all.One time in particular was rather quaint as it happened arround xmas. they were never the same kind of object and they (acted in differant ways). I sort of have my own theories on these extraterrestial beings (whoose to say they're only one kind) and yes I do believe it in a Biblical way and I also believe its a very integral part of our history. p.s.

BWB, Dont Worry About It — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 16:44:26 GMT

I’m a firm believer in UFO’s. For the main reason, why should we be the only intelligent life in the universe? I have also seen unexplainable lights in the sky which could have logical explanations or not. But the one thing that gets me the most is the government knowing about it and keeping it a huge secret. One of the reasons I could see why is if they release that there really are extraterrestrials visiting this planet and they know everything about them, which I’m sure they do, everyone is going to want there alternative energy source which I guarantee is not oil. If that were to happen the world economy would collapse on itself. Its just that everyone needs to do there own investigation of the matter and come up with there own conclusion like researching Project Blue Book, or better yet just sit down and watch the Disclosure Projects 2001 Press Conference I can guarantee that will change your mind on what they think about UFO’s. I just hope at some time in the near future I hope that someone gets some hard evidence so that the government will release as much as possible about UFO’s. For the reason that we need to get off our dependency for oil and start taking better care of our planet and not to mention the technology we would yield as well. I would love to travel the speed of light and visit other planets and I’m sure everyone else would as well.

Several years ago in central Utah my father and I saw three round objects flying in triangular formation. They did not make any sound similar to either a jet or piston engine, rather it just seemed like the sound resulted from moving through the air at high speed. They appeared twice and we heard them once more. I don't remember being alarmed but my mother later told me that it really disturbed my father. I have not seen any object(s) of similar appearance since.

Everyone who reads this take it with a grain of salt.This weekend( Sun. Eve 1-13-2008 7ish) I was on my back porch (Central Texas) I was facing the south west looking up to the sky an saw 2 objects, not close but close enough to see.one small an bright an one much bigger then the other seemed like they were almost right next to one another but the larger one was very bright an red looking like it was all most flipping from side to side and back an forth very bright.In my mind I thought maybe a plane in holding? Thinking the two were to close. Kept watching about 15 min to me it looked like they were playing with each other the bigger one being the more agressive.at this point I said to myshelf go get my other half to see this, But not wanting him to say Im crazy. I stayed to myshelf.Thinking that they have not moved enough in the time I had been watching to be a plane?
I go on with my watching at this point it has been about 15 min give or take.At that point all was over just gone. No big show when it left, just gone? Did not say anything to anyone. Wes. mor.come's an my sis calls from New Mex. asking me if I saw anything in the skys in Texas? At that point I got chill's an goose bumps.I have never seen anything that I can't explain,But I say if were out there looking why do people think there can't be other's out there also? Don't hold me to what I saw. Im not even sure what it was but I know it was something. I will remember it for a very long time.Not knowing really what I saw? Goosebumps in Texas

Do UFOs exist, of course! UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Object. Any object that isn't moving like a falling rock in the sky is a UFO unless you can identify it as a plane, rocket, satellite, etc.

Is there life in the universe besides us? Probably. It is a really big place, certainly microbes must exist somewhere in our universe.

But, to believe there are INTELLIGENT life forms flying SPACESHIPS around earth is crazy. Even if there were intelligent life on other planets, the odds of them having the capability for space flight far in excess of our own, let alone flying by earth (out of all the planets out there) in order to spy on Billy-Bob...

Possible, sure. Probable, not.

Surely someone in authority could investigate the flight commands of all F16's in the vicinity of Stephenville on the date of the sighting. At least one witness said an "...F16 was chasing..." That would have happened under official orders.

My greater fear is my own government that does not have the presence of security to see such a large craft. I felt safe from anything because I live so close to the President's Crawford ranch, and enjoy watching the F16's and tanker maneuvers during his visits. If the Air Force cannot see a large airship over Stephenville, I wonder how safe the President feels his ranch is.

Two topics are being discussed and interwined, it seems.
Is there life on other planets?
and
Are extra terrestrials visiting us today?

Belief in the former doesn't imply belief in the latter. To think that our planet is the only one with intelligent life is mathematically foolish. However, to admit the possibility of extra-planetary life does not end with the conclusion that they are visiting us. A number of people have asserted that there is a government-led conspiracy of UFO cover ups. If aliens were visiting us and chose to openly communicate with us I'm sure they could do so without official Earthly government conscent. Until that day I'll be filling UFO footage in the same nebulous, grainy category as Big Foot, the Lochness Monster, and other bunk that gets far too much air time.

As to the exsistance of UFO's I have seen the F117 and SR71 close-up and in the air also other stealth vehicles.

Is there anyone out there? absolutly their is, God is out there and has shown that He is in control of everything! Go to the book of Daniel, and look at the dialog between King Nebaceneszer, and the angel, not just any angel He is the angel of the covenant, The Lord Jesus Christ! Yes He is out there watching US, and He does not like the things that He sees. He has already passed judgement on ALL WHO WILL LIVE UNGODLY IN THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD!He goes on to say that hell has to enlarge its mouth to recieve the multitudes of those who refuse to believe Him and the WORD that He has sent to us to lift us up to his level. But We have brought Him down to our level, The God that the modern Christian is worshiping is not the Christ of Calvery, not the one who the Desciples worshiped. That Christ, if you lived and sinned like the professors of religion do today, He would call you a Devil, like He did Peter. But the cleargy of today, does not live where he is an example to the flock but a LORD OVER THE FLOCK! Some of them playing with whores, some homosexuals, some living like kings, on money that has been collected to spread the Gospel. Where are the wisemen, Tell me do you that live so low here on earth, expect to enjoy doing nothing but praising God and His Son in eternity? Where do you expect that big change to take place? At death? Death changes nothing, Where does this change take place. AT THE NEW BIRTH WHE THE CHRIST IS BORN INTO YOUR LIFE< THAT IS WHERE THE REAL CHANGE TAKES PLACE! You will never be the same again, you will not live in sin and enjoy it again, when you Fail to do what he says, He corrects you until He brings you to that place of perfect peace and rest in Him, That place where we are able to do rightousness at all times, and there is nothing we do that offends our God! As Jesus came to do the will of the Father, we now are here to do the same thing. Why wouldn't we, we have that same heavenly birth, if we have truely been "born again" Paul makes this very plain when he said "Christ is in you or you are a reprobate" We are either one thing or the other, Thank God, For Jesus, they caused this all to be possible, and without Him nothing is possible, that counts.

For any alien craft to come here from another galaxy it would be necessary to travel much faster than the speed of light. Traveling at the speed of light, it takes 100,000 years just to cross the Milky Way! Perhaps there are such things as "worm holes" that warp space and time. Of course, there's the possibility that these life forms have practically an eternal life span and can live in their crafts indefinitely.

I believe there is life out in the universe somewhere but we will never find it because even if we could travel at the speed of light it would take thousands of years to travel to any planet that could posibly have life on it. Could some super intelligent life from a distant universe find us, I think we have worse things to worry about like terrorists here on earth who wish to destroy us.

Albert Einstein was very clear in his theory of relatively that any mass could not travel at the speed of light. Light can because the photons have no mass. How then could living beings travel to our planet? The nearest neighbor to our sun is approximately 4.3 lightyears away. The next "neighbor" is over 12 light years away. That means, traveling at the speed of light, it takes 4.3 years to travel to our nearest neighbor, which is a star with no planets. Perhaps "we" have a lot to to learn about physics and space travel.

I am a firm believer in UFO's. Back in August 1984, in westchester county of NY. At a sleep-away camp I was 18years old. At around 9:30p.m.-10 we were sitting in a hugh field, on a clear night. The stars were shining very bright and it was a warm clear night. After a while some one said that an airplane was about o crash and we all looked up to notice that it was not an airplane. What ever it was, it totally blacked out the sky. It was as big as a football field we were sitting in. It was V-shaped and had colorful lights all around it. It was flying so low that it just made it over the tops of the trees. The object was so low it seemed that you could have hit it with a rock. As hugh as it was, no sound came from the object. It was seen for 2-3 nights in the same area. It was all on the news stations for about a week.

The first time I was 12 years old (now 50).
My Mom, Brother & I were sitting on our front porch at almost dark, when a Silent, Green Glowing abject flew right over our heads. I can from behind the house & flew slowly forward. It was very low to the ground. My Brother & I looked at each other & almost cried. My Mom didn't see or here it.

The second time was at the Lake of the Ozarks last summer. We were looking up at all the stars & saw 2 huge lights flying very high, that went back & forth, like Zig Zagging. After they made there way across the sky, about 3 minutes, 3 very fast moving (fighter jets?) chased after them. I was sick that we didn't have our video camera with us!!!!

"If they're out there how are they getting there???" That is silly. GET THERE. What the heck are you talking about? How did we get here. Do you really think this is the starting line of all life and others have to travel away from earth to evolve. :) Come on guys and gals. Lets use our heads. Dark matter is evoked in expulsion and implosion through out the universe. This dark material bends and shifts gravity which effect light which creates quarks and light compounds that COULD "settle" and form protons/neutrons. This is the seed of life and it is ever present in the universe. We are not the begining nor are we the end. The different alien forms, and there will be, are simply the reaction of the building blocks of life to its specific environment. Crabon, Silicon or otherwise. Hope I'm not being rude.

If we saw an alien, would we recognize it as intelligent life? There is no reason to believe intelligent aliens would be bipedal with 2 forward looking eyes, 2 oppositional ears, etc.

They would likely be carbon-based - no other building block has the diversity of carbon.

Transportation. Consider that the human race has been transmitting intelligent signals for only about 100 years. Any alien responding to our intelligent signals would have be within 50 light years to have received, then travelled to Earth - and that's assuming they can travel at close to the speed of light. 50 light years is a tiny fraction compared to the size of our galaxy (100,000 light years in diameter). And there are billions of galaxies in the universe. Even if it's highly likely that super-intelligent life exists somewhere in the universe, it is far less likely that super-intelligent life exists with a 50 light year radius of Earth.

What's needed is a way to overcome the apparent speed of light limitation.

Modern physics has not ruled out 'warp drive' - it could be possible to compress the fabric of spacetime in order to overcome the speed-of-light limitation. Our science simply does not know at this time.

Worm holes are also a possibility - though if one were within a couple hundred light years from earth we would probably see evidence of it.

Lots of questions. Few answers.

I saw one on November of 2005 above Tinley Park, IL , my husband and daughter woke me up to show me the three red lights that formed a triangle, hovering above then move quickly across the sky towards the northeast, then they just hovered for about 20 minutes..I tried to take a picture, but the image would not show on my phone...If my daughter didn't wake me up to see for my self I would never have believed in U.F.O.'s

Well, with the rapid proliferation of camera phones, we should soon start seeing a lot of interesting photos when these situations occur. If not, you have to start wondering why not ?

I believe that there is little chance that there is not a great deal of other intelligent life sprinkled about the universe. Whether they can travel at the speed of light (or faster), I'm not sure. I would sure love to see one just because of the many ramifications that it would have.

This is all so interesting to me. Since I was a kid in the 1950's, I always believed that we were not the only ones in the universe. If one believes that there is a God of some sort, why would we be the only experiment with life ???

Then in the early 1960's, three people from the farm company I worked for saw two objects in one of our fields one spring evening. One came down very slowly and hovered for about five minutes, while the other appeared to be standing by, or as a guard. They then both hovered for a few seconds together, and were gone as a streak across the sky. This was all observed from less than a quarter of a mile distance. What was interesting was that all three of the observers had very different views on God, life and the universe. But they all claimed to have seen something.

The next day, They investigated the area where they saw the objects. There was a strange viscous "liquid" on the plants and a slight discoloration on the dirt in a circle about thirty feet in diameter. The owner was very intereested, so collected specimens and took them to a friend in the chemistry department at the local college. The chemist came back saying he couldn't figure out what the substance was, and "where did they get the stuff ??"

The next move was to take some of the samples to the local Air Force Station. We never heard back from these people, even after repeated requests to the individual who took the samples. That was when we all decided that this must have been a very real happening.

The owner had been so excited about this "event," that he told us that if they came back and found him on a tractor in the field, he would leave us a note as to where he had gone, if they would take him...

I remember seeing the substance on the ground and on the plants. I wish I had been there to have seen the whole incident...

Who knows. But I still believe we are not the only beings in this huge Universe of ours !!!

I am 57 years old. I've seen UFOs on three different occasions: the first on a starry night when I was about 12 years old on vacation in Harrisville, MI; the second on a cold winter night in the early '90s in Idaho Falls, ID; and, the third in the twilight hours of a nice early summer evening in Idaho Falls in 2001. I call them UFOs because I can't identify what I saw, the things were definitely flying, and they appeared to me to be objects. I can't explain any of them, but I know what I saw.

In 1974 near Standish Michigan, my friends and I saw an unexplained object in the sky. We were heading back to school up North and were traveling north on I-75. I saw a green "star" dead ahead on the highway and commented that I didn't think that there were any green stars. We slowed the car to an absolute crawl (it being late at night and no one behind us, nor coming the other way on the other side of the highway), and this green "glow" floated over the car. I looked straight up at it and it appeared as a four panel window with the green glow within/behind it. Although a very dark night, one could sense that the "window" was surrounded by something of huge mass, it was a huge darkness against the already dark sky. It drifted over the car from the Northwest to the Southwest and off in the direction of Saginaw Bay. To this day it reminds me of, if you remember the old TV show "Voyage to the bottom of the sea", of the submarine Seaview, with that panel window that was at the front that the crew could look out. We all looked at each other and said that we wouldn't tell anyone, as no one would believe us. We did see something....

Yes, I have seen UFOs as have my neighbors, in our area near Brunswick, GA. Our local newspaper reported came to my home, one evening to do a story on what we were seeing nightly. He too and his wife saw the UFOs, all of which was reported to MUFON on a daily basis, as events occured. They came in several different shapes and colors. They flew around my home, over my home and the homes of my neighbors. Are they nothing more then an illusion or were they actual craft, I cannot tell. We only know what we witnessed over a two week period. This occured in November of 2003.

When I was 10 years old (1968)I was with a group of about 10 other kids in my front yard. Our home overlooked the Columbia River, and you could see about 20 mile south along the river. We saw an object with the shape of the planet Saturn zip back and forth along the river. It was grey in color and seemed to be lit up. This was on a clear night and we all watched it for about 15 minutes. The object seemed to be about 200 yards above the water. I sure would like to know if anyone else has seen anything similar.

I am a firm believer in UFO's I seen one right after my second child was born in SouthEast Missouri coming out of the Mississippi River by Kentucky and Arkansas in 1985. If you ever see one as close as I did the vibration off of it was so intense that I could not move until it was out of my sight. I hoverd over me what seemed like a long period of time but I don't believe it was that long. It had a orange light that went around the entire unit and very bright to the eyes. There have been many of many sightings there before and after me. I moved because it scared me too much for proctection for my children and I. Nobody can take that away from me becuase I witness it and I pray to God I never have to see it again. It felt like time was frozen at that moment. I don't care what scientist say I know what I seen. Let alone they can't even prove there is a God and we know there is. Signed ONE WHO BELIEVES!

I am 72 years old and have seen 2 UFO'S that definitely are not something that is produced in this
world. Knowing the limitations of air travel speeds as
well as radical movements we have the inability to duplicate with our aircraft, it leaves me with only one conclusion. Something from another world outside our own has evidently been studying us. The fact that not too many years ago breaking the sound barrier sounded far fetched, however, as we know it is commonplace today. Why then should we not consider the breaking the light barrier (speed of
light) not feasable. Relative to the age of our planet, perhaps our galaxy, we must consider that far
more advanced civilizations exist who have overcome
these barriers.

I do believe in them. We just moved into this two family home on Staten Island. It was summer, it was hot, we had the air conditioner in the living room, so me, my husband and two small children camped out on the floor, facing the slding doors, I was looking at the sky and the stars and this massive object came close to the house. It was low, moved slow, lights encircled the bottom of it, it was massive. It was passing over the house and I woke my husband up to view it. We ran to the back of the house, thinking we would see it, but it was gone. No where else to go but UP I guess. I'll never forget that experience as long as I live.

I like what someone else said here.. What if they simply live SO long, that the travel here for them is just a blink? Great concept. We assume (as usual) that we know what this other life form might be, might look like - right down to the fact that some would say it's impossible because it would simply take too long to get here.. but - if they lived for eons, maybe it's just trip to the beach?

As for people who say Aliens could not reach us, well, do we know EVERYTHING about science and quantum physics? Not really. So whose to say aliens didn't figure out how to travel faster than light? Either case denying the probable is just as bad as hiding behind religion.

Burt - Maybe they have a reason to not make contact? How would we know what their motives are? There are records of cave drawings of ufo-like craft thousands of years old. Perhaps they have been monitoring us for some time. Maybe they will come forward when the time is right for them and us both.
We study every single creature, plant, organism on earth as part of science. If other beings came here, of course they would want to study us as well. Maybe they are "conditioning" us to their presence through increasingly allowing them to be seen?
Considering there are trillions of stars in the universe, with billions of possible planets (we used to think there were no others outside our solar system, now we find them a rate of 2 a month just inside our own galaxy, which is one of billions of galaxies) and most are billions of years older than us. Think that just 100 years ago we first learned how to fly. Now we already have been to the moon and have probes that have exited our solar system. Now imagine a society which is even a thousand years older than ours. Pretty easy to figure they could have learned to travel across the universe to study other planets.
By most scientific accounts of probability, the odds that they are NOT other civilizations out there are like a billion to one.

I watched a clip from a witness in Stephenville, the guy in the woods. About ten years ago, in rural Delaware, I saw a similar object like the one this guy discribed. Moving just above the tree lines, with lights, and no engine noise. A few minutes another set of lights were coming in the same direction. I was scared, cause you could not see much at night, but it turned out to be a prop plane, which was probably following the thing. Later that night, I looked around in the sky and saw objects far enough away that they were not planes, but looked like they could have been stars, but they moved very fast across the sky, then stopped. Neither stars or planes do what these lights did. I didn't feel as crazy, when the next day, I find out that Dover Air Force Base had lots of calls about UFO's. What I almost saw was not a blimp, but was more the size of a glider, but gliders don't fly at night, that slow at tree top level and not crash and the local news papers not report it. The Stephenville incident just shows me that other people have seen stuff flying around at night they can't explain.

I am a US Military pilot. I fly regularly at night. I know what various sources of light look like below me (city lights), above me, and at my altitude (other aircraft) through experience. I am convinced I saw a UFO above Northern Florida at my altitude (22,000ft.) I saw 4, stationary, semi-circular positioned yellow lights that were the size of tennis balls (as opposed to roughly the size of the tip of a ball point pen which would indicate another aircraft's position lights). They stayed on for roughly 30 seconds, then extinguished one by one, left to right and came back on a minute later in reverse order. I witnessed 3 times. My first thought was that it was a helicopter because it was clearly not moving, but it couldn't have been because 1) It was much bigger than the large aircraft I fly, and 2) We were at 22,000ft. MUCH higher than helicopters fly. Next quick thought was weather, but it was a clear beautiful night, and it obviously not lightning or weather related....and again, it could not have been an aircraft because it was not moving. The flight engineer sitting next to me saw the same thing I did. I can't call it a spaceship or anything like that. I can only say that unequivocally it was an Unidentified Flying Object, larger and unlike anything I ever have seen, something I have absolutely no explanation for, and something myself and another individual witnessed for roughly 15 minutes, without question.

More and more people are belivers than not. Its the government and others that keeps the truth from us. Just think of the mass hysteria if people knew the truth. Soooo for now until our mass consciousness has risen enough to except the mere thought of others out there, we will never know unless one lands in your yard and you video tape it without distortion or it lands on the whitehouse lawn. Only then will we really know. Al can cover the story! What a story that will be!! There's so much we don't even know about our past or the oceans here on earth.

Do ‘UFO’s’ exisit? We don’t know, but if so, there are explicit instructions to all major govt’s not to reveal known intelligence. Humans are Classified as only a hIgher level functioning Animal. The potential to ‘self-adjust’ must come through ‘evolution of civilization’ or the ability to overcome or ‘rise above’ our feral nature. While we may have shown that we are able to ‘co-exist for mutual advantage’ or benefit, these examples are isolated cases on a whole. As a species, we have much to learn and overcome. Our core nature is not that far from our animal beginnings. While evil and good are but philosophical debates, until we learn, as a whole, to work for the common advantage, we are sheltered on this rock. I apologize that this may not be coherent enough, but those who understand may be the ones who have ‘potential’.

Everyone who definitively says there is now way any alien race could make it here because of how far they had to travel, is using their "Reality Box" to make judgement calls. No more than what a person is willing to believe: that's the size of their Reality Box.

Not all UFOs are unidentified; do the research on the cylindrical, anti-grav craft being developed by the Nazis. They nearly had it; movies exist. Then check out how their chief rocket scientist, Werner Von Braun was brought here to continue his research; look up "Operation Paperclip" and discover how many scientists and others were secretly brought to the U.S. after WWII.

One more thing: consider fact-disguised-as-fiction and re-watch the movies MIB, The Matrix, and Conspiracy Theory.

Yes I have actually seen two different "flying saucers" in 1956 when I was about 16 years old. I have never talked about them much because whenever I mentioned them I could sense disbelief. The first time I saw one I was walking alone about 9PM on a two-track sand-road on Pine Island Florida. I sensed something was near and I looked up to see it hovering above me. It close enough that I could see "portholes" alongside of the glowing inverted-saucer shaped craft. I am not sure but I think I saw movements behind some of the portholes. The craft remained above me for about 45 seconds (long enough to convince me that I wasn't "seeing things") Suddendly the craft zoomed away at an incredible speed and was completely out of sight in less than 5 seconds. The second sighting came about 3-4 months later on the south side of Ft. Myers Florida. A buddy and I was camping in a lightly wooded area on a moonless night. Both of us spotted the craft and watched it as it appeared to land several miles from our location. Although it was quite a bit farther away than the first one I had seen, it did look to be similiar. We didn't stick around long enough to see if the craft appeared again because we were scared out of out wits. The next day we explored a grassy area where we thought the craft touched down. Eventually we found three large round area of grass (in a triangular shape) that had been pushed flat. In the center of the "triangle" was a blacked singed area. I knew my parents would not believe me, but my buddy asked his Dad to "check it out". His Dad reluctantly came with us to see what we had seen. He advised us to not make a big thing out of it or people would think we had manufactured the site or, more likely, they would think we were crazy.

Just hanging there , no noise.Then after about 4minuts or so it took off in a straight line but still in fiew and stoped again. We looked at each other and said what the F@#$ is that. Then it weaved side to side a few times then stopped again. After a few moments to sped off out of sight still with no sound at all.

To think that we havent got something better than the SR-71,B-2, f-117 is just as ludacris as saying we are the only ones in the universe !

I have seen an alien spacecraft! I was working as a security guard for Columbia College in Missouri 1975. I was making my usual rounds on the campus. It was a dreary nigh with many clouds at about 3:00 in the morning. I was walking from building to building punching the security clocks. I had a guard’s hat on and was watching the ground as I walked. I noticed a shadow on the ground popping through the clouds. I looked up and saw a huge craft about a third of the size of a football field. It seemed to be silently gliding through the clouds right over my head. I was sort of frozen watching this huge thing floating by. I noticed a row of windows, but I was too far away to see any faces. After telling my boss about this incident, he said I probably shouldn’t include this in my nightly report. At the time, reports of UFO’s weren’t looked upon as very credible.

The bigger question in my mind than "do UFOs and ETs exist" is why isn't there a concerted, funded, official, and scientific effort to research these cases and attempt to find out?

Of course there are UFO's !!! What they are and where they might come from is the real question-I have seen one and I know I am in good company. I did not see aliens or was not abducted, but I know what I saw was not an airplane or anything else Ive ever seen or heard-it was simply something unidentifiable-I would love to know what it was I saw-but probably never will-I just wish the government would quit discrediting people who talk about thier experiences-its that backwards thinking like that caused the Salem Witch Trials and The Dark Ages-

I have to agree with all who said "any object in the sky that is not known is a UFO"...and for that reason yes - there are UFOs. In 1986 on my way to work in Chicopee MA at 6pm I turned onto the main street from my apartment and there, hovering over the apartment block across the street, was a HUGE, glowing, silent triangle that was the brightest white I had ever seen. I stopped dead in the road and jumped out of my car...the cars coming at me kept going but the ones behind had to stop. I pointed at it and people got out...then it started to move and I jumped in my car to follow it. It was picking up speed and began to change shape...I continued driving down the road, heart pounding, goosebumps - you name it. I followed it for about 1/4 mile and it kept changing shape..getting longer and longer now instead of triangle. Then...as it was moving away farther and was at it's longest point I finally realized what it was - and I had to pull over for the fit of laughing. It was a danged BLIMP!!! There was football game in Boston and there was an advertising blimp that had gotten lost. It was very unique - all bright white skin that would have flashed advertising over itself when positioned over the field. But while in flight there was no writing. What I THOUGHT was hovering over the apartment was the blimp flying towards me/us and that accounted for the triangular shape (it was not directly facing but slightly off). When I got to work everyone was abuzz about the "UFO" and people seriously argued with me that they really had seen a spacecraft. Only a few people accepted the fact that I had seen the thing to the point that it became recognizable. That night on the news were both accounts (UFO and possible blimp) and in the newspaper the next morning the blimp was confirmed. The advertisers had to pay the city money in a fine for the number of calls swamped the emergency 911 system for hours that night and caused system failures.

My point with this story is threefold - 1) a little humor because to this day I still get a good laugh over my "eagerness" to catch a UFO; 2) a little caution for all of us that sometimes what you think you see may really be something ordinary after all; and 3) We really don't know what is out there. I think that it is hubris on our part to think we are the only ones. We have only been tech-savvy for 60 years or so...and we really can't say what is possible or not right now. Things we thought were unimaginable 50 years ago are so commonplace we take them for granted. Who knows - perhaps in the next 50 years we'll find out that the time/space continuum does allow for space travel in a way that wouldn't take light years - or - that there is a planet (or planets) IN our solar system close enough that has/have "intelligent" beings capable of space travel.

Hey - maybe they aren't from "outer" space at all. We haven't fully explored even a 10th of our oceans yet...ever think maybe they are really already here??

I saw "something" 30 years ago, camping out at the base of Mt Monadnock. I watched a light I thought
first came from a plane. When it began to hover, I decided it must be a helicoper. Then it made some strange zig zag moves, then shot across the entire sky at incredible speed and vanished from sight. It may have been some kind of experimental craft from the Air Force Base, although I question whether we had the technology to make anything move like that? I will never know for sure what I saw... If military, it was cutting edge - experimental stuff...

In response to Walt-Atlanta GA, I too saw something in Michigan in the mid 60's. I lived near Willow Run airport and saw what I thought was a plane coming in, but it made some radical turns and then just shot off. I didn't tell anyone about it for years.
I'm always looking, but haven't seen anything again.

Something strange happened this week though. The night before I saw the reports about Texas, I had a dream about UFO contact near my grandmothers farm in the UP. Sure gave me chill that morning!

Absolutely, I believe in UFO's and my cousin and I saw a UFO while living in Roswell, NM while in High School. We grew up on a large farm and ranch just North of Roswell, NM. We have seen them in a Z & V formations and and had one hover over us while watering alfalfa late one night. We reported it and there was a write up in the Roswell Daily Record. The UFO Museum in Roswell has a story on us. The crash outside Roswell in 1947 was on the Corn Ranch which was next to ours. I firmly think in the next few years we will see many more. Thanks BC

People on here are talking that there MUST, simply must, be many lifeforms in the Universe, without looking at the incredible odds against even ONE happening by chance. I challange them all to look up the actual odds against, and compare that with the relatively few "planets" out there...so far none that fit into anything close to our lifeform, and then still say with sincerity that even tho the odds are so stacked against even one, that there must be billions and billions of intelligent lifeforms with space-faring capabilities interested in us!

Incredible FAITH in their God of Randomness reversing Entropy repeatedly!! But not really surprising considering the low levels of science and mathematics taught in the USA.

I have myself seen stange things in the skies; I have always, so far, been able to tie them in to natural phenomena!

Revently I saw a videotape of an alleged UFO on TV; a couple months later I saw the same one, observed it for a while, in detail, and it made the same motions before disappearing and since I did not stop the videotape (in my mind!), re-emerging, only as a large passenger jet flying between clouds on a long, straight-in approach to the airport directly in line with the sun!! The guy who took the video of it I am sure faked it. Easy to do with a video camera!

From a Christian standpoint, I have no problems with "spiritual" beings inhabiting some of the additional dimensions science tells us exist, and from reading the book, Flatland, can see how our vision could see strange effects when one of them intersected with our 3-space.

Also, Jesus is quoted as saying He had other folds to visit, so Christianity does not preclude other "regular" life forms, but I remain very dubious they are visiting us any more than we are visiting them.

I need a lot more than strange lights!! A good story came outta Texas, during one of the wars, on a ghost train, lot of train engineers saw it, repeatedly, and steel train wheels were often ground flat in the encounters. The reason came out much later...good story, look it up!

Back in the 80's I saw a small flickering reddish light pass overhead in Stamford, Ct. Didn't strike me as any "spaceship" or such, just weird, unexplainable,... Since then I have become more knowledgeable about physics, and I think most of these phenomena are likely due to yet unknown high energy physics, like decays of dark matter or space-time solitons. Too bad the SSC got cancelled, we might have learned this stuff by now. Instead, we spent a hundred times as much on the worthless space station so millionaires can go vacation there. You might want to read up on "Fermi's paradox". Any real aliens out there, who can actually get here, would be so advanced that we would never know they were observing us. I'm not aware of any archeologists here who try to introduce themselves to the bugs they observe. Why should the aliens stoop so low? They're probably just curious about a primitive civilization committing global toasting. Burn that coal!

Since then my father & daughter have both seen different crafts...more in the shape of a cigar
I truelly believe there are more than one species of aliens.Space crafts discovered here on earth,have been reported as having spaceship materials ,that are foreign to earth.

I think that the minute amout of brain tissue that we use as human beings, (functional brain tissue) is argument/explanation enough to warrant the conclusion that we just don't know. Who's to say that a fully (100%) functional brain wouldn't have all of the answers to questions listed above fully aware that we don't. With a small amt. of brain use, (us), we can use an analogy similar to say, A new born infant is going to fly that 747. Not only could that new born not fly that 747, but the infant could not phathom the idea. Why? Because even though the adults brain operates at a small percentage of function, the function is still much greater than that of the infants. Conclusion: If there were a being that could use every part of his/her brain, (keeping in mind how much we use, here on Earth), how much could we not phathom?

I was a firm non-believer in UFOs.....always thought the folks that saw them were a little nutty or attention seeking.......UNTIL Feb 1990, driving to work at around 3am, I topped a hill and there was an eliptical object that glowed like fire (yet lit nothing around it). It was at the bottom of the hill to the left of the highway. There was no where to go except down the hill, and I was so frightened I was going 90 mph and I remember thinking "what the hell am I going to do if I get to the bottom of the hill and it's STILL THERE???" As I neared the bottom of the hill, it seemed to disappear behind something, and downward.The next day, during daylight hours, I traveled the same area, and there was a tractor trailer in the same relative position coming toward me. It was then I realized that whatever I saw was MANY times bigger than that, and there was no rational explanation that I could come up with to explain it away. And there was nothing other than maybe a treeline that it could have disappeared behind (and wouldn't I have seen a bright object through a small treeline?) Hell, I can still tell you what music I was listening to....it was years before I could listen to it again because of the association with that frightening memory. I now live within a quarter of a mile of the sighting and have never seen anything else....thankfully! One thing I do remember, there was another car coming in the opposite direction when I rounded a large curve right past the sighting. I've always wondered if that driver saw the same thing I did. I'd be curious to know! All this happened about 40 miles south of Atlanta GA.

In May of '66 my entire family and at least 6 Suffolk Co.P.D.officers witnessed a large cigar shaped object over a large pine barrens area in Ridge N.Y. for nearly an hour. The object was approx. 300' long and traveled in a circular path above the trees at an altitude of about 1000 to 1500ft. It made no sounds and you could see violet colored oblong windows along the side of the craft. Both my parents were former members of the military and my mother was a licensed pilot since 1937. The police officers made diagrams and lenghtly reports concerning what they saw that night. Four years later when my brother became a police officer in the same precinct he researched the files for the reports that were written that night. The entire log of the incident was missing from the files and it was evident that something was removed from the files because of a gap in the time line of the files. It is noteworthy that this area was once
the first overseas transmitting station for RCA radio and telegraph. Better yet, just two miles to the north of this area was a experimental research facility built by Nickoli Tesla. If you don't who Tesla was, I suggest that you educate yourself. I am now 60 years old and a retired healthcare professional and the memory of that night is still vivid in my mind as if it happeded yesterday. Never saw anything like ever again.

HI: WELL this should blow your minds. I have seen many since the sge of 4 years. I have also been abducted many times in my life. I will tell you one thing all of us have in common. THEY never abduct people who are violent or belong to such organizations. THIS alone proves they are smarter than us. BUT I tell you this the technology they have is hundreds of thousands of years ahead of us. THE reason they don,t come out in public land and say take me to your leader; like in the movies. IT is really simple do you think they want to be kidnapped and all their stuff stolen in the name of science. WHEN you all know we would just try to use it for war! SO yes people they do really come here. YOU can assume one is crazy to say they have been with them.
I have had no encounters since the late 90,s though.
IT has tailed off: but usually abductions start in early childhood and follow you thru your whole life.
SO yes al there is someone out there. OH by the way trust me you don,t want to be abducted. IT is a very bad thing and screws up your whole life in many ways.

I do believe that there is someone out that watching from another planet. Wasn't there a phrase in the Bible about God's first creation. Perhaps God was a perfectionist and his first creation did not come out as he intended. He created man in the likeness of himself. Maybe he saw himself in a different light but realized that he needed to improve and he could not destroy what he had created, so he placed this creation on another planet. He gave this first creation of his the ability to be like him, in that he can be everywhere and his brain is capable of doing commands that no humans can undertake. We, on this planet, became the weaker creation but we looked more pleasant to the eye. I think we all need to search our Bibles for the answers, as our scientists have no answers, only God. He is the creator of all things. I don't think we, as a people, have the ability to invent all these "out of the world inventions" if it had not been with some help from another planet. Those from the other planets have the brains and I think by the sightings, they are trying to tell us something. That if we want to exist on this planet, we must put away our childish behavior and take care of the more important things in life....like our drinking water, the earth itself, and the animals that bring enjoyment to our lives. If there were no animals on this planet, trees or water, we would cease to exist. We must realize there is someone who has the capacity to give us the air we breathe, or take it away.

No one here seems to cnsidered UFO's as advanced government technology. I recently saw a program on WRLN about UFO. They showed video of ufo's as Lockheed Martin in the 50's. Apparently it was first created by the Germans in or around WWII, so the russians started to develop them and of course the US tried to develop the technology because of the cold war. They were building them in Washington on the West Coast because it was closest to the USSR. The craft is suppossed to be undected by radar and quiet.
This Theory is just so much more logical than that of alien visitors. At least for me the thought of aliens is terrifying. Try googling some info on hovercraft and German technology.

People seem to equate a UFO to flying saucers, aliens,etc. A UFO is an unidentified flying object. The key word being unidentified. I am a commercial pilot, and have from time to time, seen a "UFO". All that means is I saw something I could not identify...not necessarily something from another world. However, I do agree that we are most likely not the only intelligent life form in existence. To believe otherwise would be somewhat presumptuous on our part.

30 years ago my husband and I witnessed a UFO above our backyard neighbor's house. It was too big to be there and so quite we felt we were in a vacumn. Yes, there were bright colored "strobe" lights. We had been watching late night tv when "something" hurt my eye causing me to turn away from the open back door. I yelled "what was that?" and we both ran to the door and went outside. Our "UFO"?? was HUGE,larger then the house it was above...It could not possibly be there...too big..and too deathly quite..but there it was. We both stood outside watching and absorbing it for what seemed like a very long time. It was not moving. It was "hoovering??" directly above the neighbors house. Then it rose up only slighly and slowly travelled away from us for about 2 blocks and then excellerated becoming smaller until it disappeared. As we turned to go inside, my husband said "don't talk right now just remember and think about what you have just seen". We waited for a while then discussed our "encounter". We both remembered and agreed on what we had seen except he remembers more about the colors of the lights while I remember how "solid" what could not be there was.

Look up at night see millions of suns the majority have planets some may be like ours to think we are the omly intelligent creatures in the cosmos is ignorant but itntersteller travel is way beyond our present thinking even at the speed of light most would be dead by the time we got somewhere youd have to have a farm on a spacecraft just to survive it's possible but unlikely if you traveled for decades to get somewhere you'd stop and say Hi. except for incan art a few dubious references in the bible even the acients give us few clues,

I definetly belive in UFOs - In fact back in the 80's I owned a summer home at the Jersey shore. My husband and I as well as several members of my family viewed pin sized lights in an otherwise black sky. They were darting in many different directions as if there were several on them. This went on for a good 15 minutes when suddently they all darted off in the same direction and vanished. No one can tell my family members who viewed this that UFO's do not exist.

Imagine seeing an "Independence Day" (movie) moment, on the evening news for example, where the President tells the staff that "everything" the government has on UFO's needs to be brought out for public display.
(I have always thought that it's about time for them to come clean anyway)

I wonder, would "they" even obey an order from the President? How could the public tell?
Imagine that the President does this and the various departments, both civil and armed forces, trot out their stuff and put it on a table and say- "this is all we have".
Would we ever believe them? How would we know?
Oh my, the questions just keep coming.

Imagine this- what if the life on this planet is all there is?
What if there is nothing and no one else in the Universe.
How would that knowledge make us feel?
Would we feel more precious or special?
Would we stop killing each other?

I think each of us can answer that one, sadly.
"Is that all there is?
So let's keep dancing,
break out the booze and have a ball,
if that's all there is"
Thanks Peggy Lee.

I think we need to develop a new language, a new bit of lexicon to explain what people keep saying are flying objects that can't be explained. I mean, we've been explaining these ufo objects for 60 years and more, and we DO know what we've seen in terms of shape, size, color, movement, and flight. If we keep saying 'unidentified' then our brains will continue to subconsciously deny, even cancell out, the full reality of these craft sightings. Let's stop discounting what our eyes and senses are telling us, after reasonable explanations and fakery has been removed. The government, it would seem, would rather we deny what our eyes are telling us, deny our own thoughts, and ignore practical reasoning. So from here on in, how about we call alien craft what they are: alien craft.

We don't need a secretive, irresponsible government to confirm what we already know, all we need is a credible, scientifically arrived at explanation, and since the Government is not forthcoming, the object could be considered an alien craft until one shows up with an Air Force insignia. The government disinfo/PR types will have a heck of a time proving what it is not, because to do so, they will have to admit "its ours", or captured technology.

I realize the term is not definitive of alien-type flight characteristics of possible human-engineered "UFO's", but calling them unidentified denies what IS known, verifiable, or "alien re-engineered techology", after hundreds of thousands of sightings, and independent scientific investigations, all over the world, day after day, year after year.

Also, it would seem cell phones may have reached over-critical mass, and it should only be a matter of time that daily sightings are posted all over the net, worldwide. Apparently, when you can flood the media with "proof", and credible witnesses, even the national media will listen, and put it into their news cycles. Hopefully picture quality will improve too.

Law of probabilty tells us that we are not alone. Aliens visiting? Possible. If they are they are way more advanced. They would study us, as we study lower forms of animals. If the show themselves, it would be just like we do when watching other animals...stun us tag us then watch the fun and games humans play....and they most likely hope we never get to travel outside our own system.

Sher, Crown Point IN — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 18:29:27 GMT

I saw something I cannot explain about 30 years ago. My husband was working midnights and was getting ready to go to work. It was summertime and the windows and doors were open. The TV was on and all of a sudden the picture turned snowy and we heard our neighbors outside talking and looking up at the sky. We went outside and saw something we had never seen before. It was VERY BIG AND HAD WHITE MOVING LIGHTS ON IT. It was coming towards us slowly and then hovered over our subdivision not making a sound. A teenager on a motorcycle was stopped in the road and said that his bike just quit running and wouldn't start. We watched this object hover for about 5 minutes in disbelief and then it just flew out of sight EXTREMELY FAST THE OPPOSITE WAY IT ARRIVED WITHOUT TURNING AROUND! We went to our next door neighbors house and called the police to report what we had seen. They told us it was probably an airplane that had an advertisement underneith. Within the next two days, we started seeing airplanes with advertisements in lights underneith them. They DID NOT EVEN RESEMBLE WHAT WE SAW THAT NIGHT! I don't know if it was a cover-up or what, but what I saw that night scared me enough to take the dog and spend the night at my parents house. I have never seen it again, although I wish I could. I can't explain what I saw, so I guess that's what makes it a UFO.

With the exception of the 1942 L.A. ufo sighting, most of the sightings have occurred after WW2 and all started in New Mexico where the US army put the Nazi scientist to work on Rockets and
advanced Nazi designed aircraft. I think what most see are secret Air Force projects....a few defy explanation....but most can be explained.
I was in Phoenix and saw the Phoenix lights in 97 and saw them again in Feb 2007.....flares.

The wonderment of it all. I believe the entertainment media is working with the government as an agent to slowly let the general public become acquainted with knowledge that they have had for many years regarding ET and UFO's. How frightened we would be if the government hit us on the head with the big yes it is all true. No little by little we are becoming aclimitized to accepting there are indeed UFO's. Remember the Will Smith's movie about ET, they read the weekly junk newspapers to tell them what was going on. So there you have it. Who better than Al Roker, the gentlest of souls to admit he believes, thus making his senior following comfortable. Who will be the next ambassador, it probably should be a sport hero??? Of course there are UFO's No question.

There were no UFO's or Aliens in Stephenville Texas. What people did see were military aircraft transporting from Florida to a military base to the west. The Officer that was contacted at the military base in Fort Worth Texas stated "no aircraft was deployed from HIS base" and he told the truth, the aircraft were NOT from his base nor were they going to his base. These aircraft were large, extremely quiet (thus the purpose of be military aircraft i.e. technology!) Two particular aircraft have red lights and very bright white lights, which is what people in Stephenville saw. SO please... let it go. Not only is this embarresing for the town, it's making us the laughing stock throughout the world and we look like hicks!!! i.e. quote "I was going to shoot at it, but I didn't want to start an intergalactic war".. oh please!!!!!

I don't doubt that there is a very high probability that we are not alone. What puzzles me is given their obvious level of technology (having had to have come from some distance to get here), why would they be interseted in doing low level fly-bys of a mud hole plant in the back woods of the universe? To stir up the natives?

I agree with Bob. Who know's maybe other beings are not able to recognize us as other beings when they have approched earth- as we have not been able to recognize them in our explorations. How do we know if other "beings" haven't seen our landings? Just because we did not make contact doesn't prove we have not scared them as they have scared and intriged us.

I have enjoyed reading the comments relating to Al's blog. I am in the process of reading Issacson's book about Albert Einstein. I find the theory of relativity, and quantum mechanics very tedious, so I can not expound on this. But, I feel that there are mountains of possibilities that are beyond our Earth-Human thought processes. I found the comment from W.L. Jones from Jacksonville, FL especially disappointing. This person could not spell properly, speak the Queen's English properly, and where are there three Earth-Like planets near here that are inhabited? This is especially disconcerting to me since I live in Jacksonville, FL.

My husband and I used to live on an off-shore island in Belize, Central America. We and several of our staff witnessed what we would call a U.F.O. experience. I won't go into detail, but it was very real to all of us. It may have been something of this Earth, but who knows? I think we all should entertain the possilities of other life forms other than what we have on this Earth of ours. It would be very encouraging.

It's completely unacceptable behavior, socially, to assert that because you don't share someone's belief system, that they are wrong and ignorant for having it. No one likes that kind of attitude. I encourage the support of those who give one another the benefit of the doubt in these instances. Keep up the friendly attitudes toward one another.

Alf? ET? Mork? I dont know.I've never met one to the best of my knowledge, but that doesn't mean that they aren't real. I've never seen a U.F.O. but im open to the possibilty that they exist.Good? Evil? who knows? Any author can write that they are "here to get us". But how do they know except in their imagination. If they have met an alien face to face, and have a videotaped interview with them, then maybe i'll buy it as gospel according to Ray Bradbury. Till then I'll keep my options (and my mind) open.

There may be and there may not be someone out there; how can any of us presume to insist there is or isn't. The most bothersome thing to me is the fact that I am in Stephenville, Texas, and I regularly have to defend myself from my friends around the country.

If Al says it is so, it is so. Unlike Al, however, I would go with them in a minute. If we are but grains of sand in this vast universe, then the world will keep going without us. Bills will get paid, work will get done. If you believe in a higher power and that when our time here is done we will be delivered to a better place, why not take the chance if it is offered to us and see what is out there. It seems a little selfish to think we are the only ones in this huge space. We are still trying to explain etchings on walls, items made from materials that we can not duplicate and any number of strange things seen by not just people like you and me, but people we consider to be responsible and learned in scientific matters. I think it would be wonderful to find out if maybe we were just like Australia, a colony of outcasts that were no longer wanted and abandoned on this "earth" to fend for ourselves. Then again, maybe cats and dogs are the real aliens. After all, even leaders of countries don't kick out animals when they are talking about important secret things. How do we know animals aren't reporting back and planning a take over. Yes, I think UFOs are out there. Who, what, why, where or when we will know for sure it is anyones guess. I hope I am here to see it though. How about it Al. Want to be a part of history?

I have had 2 sightings. The first one was on a highway going into Florence, S.C. All traffic was traveling at 55 mph when all of a sudden this large object came down and began to hover over the road. All four lanes, going both directions, came to a complete stop, I found out later. It hovered for quite some time, then went straight off in a shot and was gone in a second. Everyone, stopped in their cars, began to look around at each other. Not realizing how long we had been there. Nothing was said and everyone resumed their travels down the highway. Pretty spooky.
The second time I was driving near Camp LeJune and we saw an object hovering over the highway with bright lights swirling and in a second it darted straight up and away in a second.
I know there is something or someone else out there, but what or who?
I believe.

Donald, Houston, TX — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 21:46:58 GMT

I have both observed and researched UFOs. The first encounter took place on board the flagship of the Seventh Fleet during that Viet Nam thing. Naked eye sighting, then radar confirmation at speeds in excess of 10,000 mph while making right angle turns. Then observed through very high power binoculars for about 15 minutes. Five objects on radar, four visually.

A second and much closer sighting about five years later was also witnessed by two other observers including a highway patrolman. This led to about eight years involvement with a group of NASA aerospace engineers who had formed a non-profit scientific research organization called "VISIT". An acronym for Vehicle Internal Systems Investigative Team. Their sole reason for being was to interpret observational data and translate it into engineering that would benefit science. On his retirement from NASA, VISIT's founder, John Schuessler became the Director of MUFON (The Mutual UFO Network) but just recently retired from that position. We both continue to monitor such information towards the same end. Technological advancement.

Having experienced high quality personal observations plus having had the opportunity to investigate this phenomena with the assistance and cooperation of some of America's best and brightest, I can absolutely assure you of the following...
1. There are manufactured craft in our skies demonstrating technological capabilities far in advance of anything ever constructed on Earth.
2. They exhibit all the requisites of intelligent control.
3. They have been and continue to be observed, recorded, documented and thoroughly studied by the US military.
4. They are the subject of serious study by virtually every technological nation on Earth.
5. The US Government has and continues to employ disinformation as the means to obfuscate any thoughtful interpretation by anyone not included on their "need to know" list, be it a benign individual or a potentially hostile nation.
6. Once you have seen one, the skies never look the same.

I agree with Al that there is something out there. I had an experience one night about 9:00 P.M. andit was in late Nov. 1984. I was driving home, it was a clear night and out of no where I saw this large bright bluest-white light in the western sky. It didn't move, I looked everywhere for some proof of what it could be. I checked my surroundings & saw nothing that was giving off thid light. I checked the interior of my car to see if that's where the light was coming from and nothing. WHen I changed direction the light was still there and then it just suddenly wisked acroos the sky and totall disappeared! When I got home, no one believed me that it could have been a UFO. So I never talked about it again but after what happened in Texas I really wanted to speak up. Thank you Al & the Today Show for allowing me to do so! I now know 100% that I did see something very unusual that night! What I have wondered all these years is, if there another life source in outer space, then why are we still here? So, is the other life source friend or foe?

Maybe they are closer then we think & just don't want us to see where they are from because they can see what a mess we made of Earth & don't want us on their planet to ruin it! Maybe they are on an invisible planet!
Everyone thinks they have to have a form of body, maybe they sre micro organisms & can travel through time & space faster then we'd ever imagine! Maybe what we see is what they want us to see to keep us wondering/afraid of them!

Many don't know that Texas is now home to the majority of U.S. aerospace development. Starting with the Texas Energy Raids, Texas dismantled big components of California's super economy (whimpy Californians are all gay tweaker hippie aetheist world class PhD's anyway) and took the most historically profitable part...federally funded aerospace...and shipped it home to Crawford for Jenna to divvy up among her girlfriends. Lots of toxic crap can disappear in the back blocks of Texas; or be dumped to the west in nuclear New Mexico or buried east, in the toxic green petroleum mud of Louisianna...or be piped south to Mexico during the hours when Mexico isn't using the same pipe to ship us illegal immigrants. Oklahoma? Full of Commanches, needs to be cleaned out anyway. In Texas, a man can still defile his land anyway he chooses, and he reserves the right to crap on other peoples land, too.

I used to think that ufo's were us from the future coming back to check out where we went wrong. And just like in the movie, "back to the future", if they make contact with us, they could change their, our destiny, to the point of obliterating us right off the planet.

UFO is not something to believe in or not believe in. It stands for Unidentified Flying Object. That is real. People really see things that they can't identify. Now are these people crazy if they see something they can't identify? Absolutely not! But boy would the Government like you to keep up the good work of making those people look crazy. Small minds make for great sheep. Hey remember when we were told there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? We didn't see them did we? We believed because we were told to believe. Even today when we don't see them somehow the government changed the war from weapons to freedom for Iraq. So the Government says Don't Believe, those people are crazy. So you say O.K.!
