any ufo,s sightings

[FN FAL]

I was abducted 40 miles south of Roswell on the side of the highway overnight in the family RV. I had a scar on my left knee the next morning, and still have it today.

Creeeeeeeeeeeeepy

Tell us more about the anal probation?

Like I said, read "Rare Earth." The authors go into much detail about the mathematics involved. Basically, the probability of a planet being at just the right position from a star, with just the right mass, with just the right amount of water, etc... is really quite low. Microbes are probably quite abundant throughout the universe, but complex life is probably rare, if existent at all outside of Earth. There are just too many variables that must be perfect for complex life to exist.

Carl Sagan(SP?) is smarter than me and just about everybody else on earth and he said otherwise, I will give it a read though, thanks for the info.

It is very evident that there are no aliens visiting this planet. There would be tangible proof by this point. Someone would have gotten a decent photo or film or other evidence. All these morons who claim to have been abducted and then given an implant and then had the implant removed.....where are the implants? Do they throw them all in the trash? I mean theres your proof. In reality though it proves that it didn't happen because no one can produce one. I'd be the first in line for some space nucci if it were here, but it ain't.

i think you work for the govt and yer job is to make people believe there are no aliens. you know they are out there.

back to the original question though, before this whole big debate. yeah i saw one last year flying the baron in the middle of the night. (while listening to coast-to-coast am, no less. right in front of me, big triangle shaped thing with three bright white lights, one at each corner. i thought some other plane was trying to play chicken with me with his landing lights on at first. then it moved across the sky, and vanished. crystal clear night, too. from what i hear this thing has been sighted a lot in the last few years around the midwest.

Sagan is actually discussed somewhat in the book. There are many problems with Sagan's formula that calculated million of possible intelligent lifeforms just in our galaxy alone. His formula was basically one of wishful thinking. Many assumptions were made on his part, and "Rare Earth" aims to address that. I'm certainly not saying that life outside of Earth is impossible, just highly unlikely.

Believe none of what you read and half of what you see, I saw, so I am half way there.

It's me!

Believe it or not, as much of a non-believer in ET life as I am, I've actually seen some weird things a time or two that made me wonder. One time down in FLL really freaked me out for a little while. I saw 3 metallic-looking objects thousands of feet up that just seemed to hang in mid-air. They stayed there for about 20 minutes before I had to go inside to customs. I don't know what happened to them since I didn't get to stay and watch. The Captain I was flying with was kind of amazed by it too. As strange as it was, I still have to conclude that it was nothing but a visual illusion or some sort of military application. Several military bases in Florida have used saucer-shaped UAVs for a decade or more. There were many reports in the early 90s of "flying saucers" on the Florida gulf coast that ended up being military UAVs. There were frequent sightings in the Nevada desert back in the 80s of "triangle-shaped craft that made strange noises" that turned out to be the F-117. There's always a logical explanation, it just takes time to find it sometimes.

The victory was yours!

You do the math. There are more stars (read "Suns" / Solar Systems) out there than grains of sand on our Earth.

I'm not making this up. Google it...

You have to be quite naive to think that only 1 of those stars' systems contains intelligent lifeforms. But then again, people on Earth still believe that oil will never run out...

 

[Some guy]

I saw lots of lights one night. Ended up blacking out. I have no idea how I got to my hotel room. No scars or anything, but I managed to lose $300 in cash.

I guess that happens from time to time in Vegas.

 

[Flechas]

I've been abducted a couple times too, sometime around 1 AM. Only to find myself in the tub at 7 AM. Don't even remember the lights.

 

[Metro752]

I dont remember any anal probe.

Back to the original question, and away from all the Twilight Zone stuff, we had a bizarre sighting one night in the Northeast Corridor. Asked the other guy in the front, "Do you see that?" and he said, "No, I'm not seeing this." Called the FA up front and asked her, and she just stood there with her jaw on her chest.
So now it's time to ask ATC, and their answer: "No sir, we're not showing any targets but you out there."
Game over.
Never mentioned it to anyone else.
