- Paulorific, on 10/08/2008, -12/+217You'd think that aliens advanced enough to travel light years to reach Earth's atmosphere would be able to land a spacecraft properly.
- Ninh, on 10/08/2008, -3/+177Actually UFOs exist since the first caveman looked up at a bird and asked his fellow cavemen "What that hell is that?"
- Frozo, on 10/09/2008, -2/+134Oh gee, high levels of radiation in a desert in the 40s? Wonder what THAT could be??
- trizzlelv, on 10/09/2008, -12/+131Digg up if you daydream at least once a day about leaving this god awful planet, and roaming the stars studying the great mysteries of the universe.
- AmyVernon, on 10/08/2008, -3/+96Well, if you've ever seen an object flying and couldn't identify it, you've seen a UFO.
- AmyVernon, on 10/08/2008, -1/+67Oh, come on. They've been coming here for at least 100 years. Sheesh.
- angusm, on 10/09/2008, -2/+67Earth whisky is stronger than the stuff they brew on Rigel VIII. You know how it is - you go out drinking, you have a few too many, and next thing you know, you've scattered the saucer across thirty miles of desert and it's a helluva long walk home.
No wonder they're too embarrassed to show themselves. - falstaff, on 10/09/2008, -0/+54Did they find a lead-lined refrigerator out there, too?
- tehzombie, on 10/08/2008, -0/+47You know when they withhold information from the public and wait for a convention--its generally hard hitting, earth shattering facts. Definitely not publicity or anything of the likes.
- MLGLies, on 10/09/2008, -1/+44Dugg for:
"Us Brits really have beaten the Americans at their own game and it is really great that we have done that. It really is revolutionary for the UFO world."
I thought our game was baseball? - offrdbandit, on 10/09/2008, -6/+47You'd think NASA would be able to land a spacecraft properly...
- BingoPower, on 10/09/2008, -0/+39"UFOs exist and have been here since 1947, according to a British expert"
This is why I hate the way journalists throw around the word "expert". So he edits a magazine about UFOs. He analyzes rock, earth and vegetation. Note that whilst he may be an "expert" in UFO theory, he appears not to be an expert in the fields of rock, earth and vegetation.
On a personal note, I believe in them 99%. It'll be 100% when I get to kick the tyres on one. - 3gibberish4q57, on 10/09/2008, -1/+37The editor of "UFO Data Magazine" believes UFOs have been to Earth?! STOP THE PRESSES!!
- b1narymess1ah, on 10/09/2008, -4/+37Try thousands of years. Who do you think taught the Aztecs and Egyptians math, timekeeping, and engineering?
- ApokalypseNow, on 10/08/2008, -3/+32As usual, pure unevidenced poppycock from kenrayd.
That which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence - this includes your mythology as well. - Snap65, on 10/09/2008, -1/+29flying food?
- IphtashuFitz, on 10/09/2008, -2/+30Probably longer than that. After all, one of the trophies the predators had was a flintlock pistol that probably dated from the early 1700's.
- dafragsta, on 10/09/2008, -0/+27I wish that they'd swoop down, in a country lane,
Late at night when I'm driving.
Take me onboard their beautiful ship, show me the world as I'd love to see it.
I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me
They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely.
I'd show them the stars, and the meaning of life.
They'd shut me away, but I'd be alright. - offrdbandit, on 10/09/2008, -2/+27As long as they keep those meters and feet straight, right?
- nitsnipe, on 10/09/2008, -1/+24nuKular mavericks?
- ligyron, on 10/09/2008, -1/+23I would've figured unidentified flying objects have been on Earth since the beginning of time
- limezor2, on 10/09/2008, -4/+24If they exists, then sweet. But "until you give me evidence other than your word, just don't talk" - Bill Nye the Science Guy
- Cl1mh4224rd, on 10/09/2008, -0/+19> "Finally, at least some governments are admitting the UFO conspiracy is real."
Umm... this guy doesn't work for any government. When the headline says "British expert", it means "a ufologist that is also a citizen of Britain and is considered an expert by other ufologists". - inactive, on 10/09/2008, -3/+22Please don't procreate.
- lightwrkr, on 10/09/2008, -1/+18"Quite a claim, can you back it up?"
If you think that out of The 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe alone and each of those galaxy have 10 million and up to one trillion stars and each of those stars lies the potential of a solar system that only this planet harbors life, then time to open up your mind... - themastersb, on 10/09/2008, -1/+18I think they've been coming around for OVER 9000 years. Or at least since last Thursday...
- Harabeck, on 10/09/2008, -1/+18Apparently the Brits think its BS.
- starmanjones, on 10/08/2008, -7/+24UFOs or not... there is other intelligent life. but the distances and the constraints of physics as we understand them pretty much preclude visits. we have been broadcasting to the stars but only for a short time. if you consider the time it takes signals to reach others- then for them to travel here... its a hard sell on this information aloine..
however, there are many many high level people claiming its true. people who are considered the most trusted people on earth. they do bring evidence even if it is elusive or ambiguous. i have a hard time summarily dismissing them.
i have a difficult time accepting anything seen on earth as conclusive without an introduction. there are just too many more plausible explanations even if its true and they are alien spacecraft.
et tu klatu?
so i am left with a couple things i can't figure. the first is what i have seen. i've been looking at the sky and the stars all my life. i watched a light that during daylight that was very bright with a yellowish incandescent look. when i noticed it i just thought it was a jet with landing lights on. but it was still there a couple hours later. so i started checking in on it. it was there six hours later. at midnight i was driving home and wanting to get my telescope on it. a few miles from home after hours of being what seemed stationary with a steady glow the light began pulsing in intensity and after 30 seconds or so it streaked off as if it was following the curve of the earth. in seconds it went from what seemed like a visible disc to gone. no trail that a meteor would leave. just like you might see in some movie. so... i doubt myself too even though i have no other explanations.
the other place i have difficulty is with the a few of the apollo missions -and especially looking at apollo 11. this is deep space where they are the only man made object. the thing that seemed to be on the same trajectory is being call shroud panel... i find nasa's explanation of a shroud panel lacking. those panels had been problematic from the start and were known as the angry alligator. if they slammed shut while extracting the LM that would be bad. a very real mission stopper. if they detached and were loose during the extraction that would have been the subject of a lot of chatter... that might be worse. anything out of the ordinary would be reported and discussed to death. nothing like that in the mission report.
so the question is... how did a shroud panel detach from the SIVB get on the same trajectory as apollo 11. if it detached they it would have been left behind by both apollo 11 and the SIVB which was sent away from apollo 11. if it remained attached to the SIVB then how did it change course... direction and speed... to catch up and approximately match apollo 11s trajectory.
the additional question which maybe nothing at all because who knows which or what the commonly available video was... the object seems painted differently than the shroud panels.
i don't to to UFO sites and read but im sure i'm not the only person to notice this problem with that explanation. there maybe an explanation.
i'm not the final word on anything. these are only my thoughts. but i can see very real problems dismissing everything. i can't anymore. but if it is true and we are being visited then that means the universe is a very different place than we see it right now. maybe we are learning as of late that physics and the universe is drastically different than we know.
that is a scarier proposition to me than just some alien visitors. maybe they should be keeping it under wraps. :D its not an easy question anymore. i think most people miss the significance if it is true. - mille716, on 10/09/2008, -0/+16Are you being serious?
- subliminalurge, on 10/09/2008, -1/+1799%????
Hell, I've actually seen something in the night sky (along with around 40 others who were there, too) that can't be explained by anything human technology is currently capable of, or natural phenomena, and even after that I'm only about 75% confident. - EpicSelekta, on 10/09/2008, -0/+16FTA: "US physician Dr Ronald Rau said in the 1940s high levels of radiation pointed to a ship landing there in the 1940s."
Gee, I wonder what else was going on in New Mexico in the 1940s that involved a lot of radiation. Our government wasn't testing something, were they?
Oh yeah: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Alamos_National_L ... - KibibyteBrain, on 10/09/2008, -5/+21I remember when I was an engineering undergrad, and going to the starship every day to learn circuit design, differential equations, and Fourier analysis. Those were the days. And of course, the whole time I couldn't help but notice all the gaps or understanding and disconnects in the discourse and derivations of technologies that help show that they could not have possibly naturally evolved out of minor human effort over a large amount of time.
- MAARRS, on 10/09/2008, -1/+17mmm? is there a story here?
this is flimsier than a press release. - poidh, on 10/09/2008, -4/+20They can.
- swrostmore, on 10/09/2008, -1/+15I want to believe
- trolleyfan, on 10/09/2008, -1/+14"a ufologist that is also a citizen of Britain and is considered an expert by other ufologists"
You know, a loony... - DeskFlyer, on 10/09/2008, -2/+15@ offrdbandit:
It was actually a mix up between pound-force and newtons that caused the Mars Climate Orbiter to burn up, not meters and feet. But I hope they keep those straight too. ;) - anoriega, on 10/09/2008, -0/+12Watch a lot of The Daily Show? It's hilarious, but don't believe them when they imply McCain was a bad pilot.
2 of the planes he lost were due to engine failure, one was because a missle was accidentally fired at the plane next to it on the aircraft carrier, one was the one he was SHOT DOWN IN over Vietnam, and the fifth was not a crashed plane, it was a misinterpretation of a flight incident on record.
The Navy praised his "aggressiveness and skillful airmanship" when awarding him the Navy Commendation Medal for an attack Oct. 18, 1967. The Navy also commended his "superb airmanship" in awarding him the Distinguished Flying Cross for a bombing attack on a Hanoi power plant Oct. 26, 1967.
I wouldn't expect Digg to have anything but a staunch leftward bias, but at least choose the right bones to pick - McCain was a good pilot. - leontes, on 10/09/2008, -4/+16If we've identified them, they are no longer UFOs. In fact, if they are *on* earth, they are no longer UFOs.
Unidentified Flying Objects must be flying and must be unidentified for them to be UFOs. Can we put to rest that silly moniker? Let's call them objects of potential extraterrestrial origin. OOPEO doesn't have the same ring to it, though, I admit. - Duvali, on 10/09/2008, -3/+15why are non-white civilizations always associated with aliens?
- jchrome, on 10/09/2008, -0/+12That isn't a spoof profile, is it? Judging by your comment trail this is actually your worldview. I find it much more incredible that there are people out there willing to accept literal interpretations of mythology (such as you espouse) than the fact that there are those willing to accept the possibility of intelligent life elsewhere in the vastness of the universe.
- AlienMushroom, on 10/09/2008, -5/+17Why do aliens always land in the USA?
- inactive, on 10/09/2008, -0/+12"ug uhg uh ugug!"
- Mononuclear, on 10/09/2008, -1/+13yeah whatever happened to that big foot in a freezer special press conference? They supposedly had DNA evidence and were going to let teams of scientists study the remains. Then there was that alien in the window press conference... All hype with no proof.
- MNorton17, on 10/09/2008, -1/+13Mr. Levinson, you're mistaken. There is no Area 51. There is no spaceship.
- brownsound00, on 10/09/2008, -0/+11Sigh... that has been my dream ever since i laid my eyes on the millennium falcon.
- Sornos, on 10/09/2008, -2/+13Non-terrestrial life and their research vehicles, eh? Do they have bumper stickers that say "My child is an honor student at Alpha Centauri High"?
I've yet to see a solid photograph or video that can be safely identified as a mechanical craft. Just lights. And even if it were clearly a craft of some kind, who is to say we didn't build it? - ostracize, on 10/09/2008, -29/+40Even the most sophisticated civilizations can have the stupidest and most incompetent pilots *cough*McCain*cough*
- life036, on 10/09/2008, -5/+16What a crap article, devoid of anything newsworthy at all.
Give me some ***** substance. - mfdoomm, on 10/09/2008, -5/+16You mean, *cough* Bush *cough*
