UFO's

MissedApproach · January 31st, 2003, 10:05

I saw an interesting show on the history channel the other night about UFO's. They played a radio recording of several pilots in New Mexico (1996) trying to figure out what this thing was below them at roughly 30,000 feet. They were all pretty confused about what it was. Tower was even more confused because they didnt have anything on radar. The thing, described by one cactus pilot as being extreamly long with beacon lights, just hovered in place. It was just wierd how nervous everyone was in the recording.

Then they had one pilot talk about how he was shadowed by something over the Atlantic in a 707. He had visual contact with it and when he turned it stayed with him. At one point his plane altered course because of the magnetic force from the UFO. Eventually the thing vanished.

Wierd stuff...anybody have any wierd stories or experiences? Maybe these guys are nuts or pranksters or something, but the New Mexico thing seems hard to fake.

How come aliens like New Mexico so much?!

I'm pretty sure it's the outdoor activities, i.e.-skiing, white water rafting, mtn. biking, etc. Also the pottery. Aliens love pottery. An aliens love for pottery can be equated to the Germans love for David Hasselhoff.

Hahahahahahah. I heard someone once said quote "To believe in aliens is to have a weak mind to have a weak mind is to believe there are aliens"

That is just ridiculous. This has been going on for centuries. People are just imaganine if there is anything outside of the planet that we live on. How come there hasnt actually been real reports WITH photos of aliens/spaceships? Well I'll tell you why because its ALL fake.

I won't rule out the possibility of intelligent life elsewhere but why is it that these UFOs are always spotted in rural areas with no cities. If I were an alien exploring earth, I'd head to NYC. He he
Maybe that UFO was a Military project, especially since this incident happened in NM.

Obviously the little gray men like New Mexico because that is where the official ET highway is!

ET Highway

Seriously though, I wouldn't want to go to NYC if I were ET either. Phasers and photon torpedos wouldn't be enough to protect them there! And the LGA and JFK are horribly crowded and congested. I think that I'd pick NM as well.

JaceTheAce · January 31st, 2003, 11:35

Yeah that is hard to believe, although I don't deny that I believe in the possibility of intelligent life out there. If anything, what happened in NM was some secret military operation.

There is a class at the University of Colorado called "the search for extra terrestrial life" I took it as it filled a requirement for upper division science and i just thought it would be freakin cool and possibly an easy A. Well, it wasn't an easy A, it was a hard B+.

Anyway, it was very interesting and most of the study surrounded the geology of other planets in our system. Believe it or not, NASA scientists (the prof was one) came up with an equation on the chances of ET life being out there. It was really amazing stuff and since taking this class I totally think there is something out there for sure! There are thousands of planets out there that are in the habitable zone (distance from sun where temps are right for liquid water to be present) regarding their respected sun (star). If you get a planet in the habitable zone the chances are good that water is also there. Well in our system 100% of the planets in the habitable zone have life on them. If you really look up into the sky with a telescope and look at what is out there you would have to be pretty arrogant to say that we are the only life in the universe.

Now do i think complex creatures are visiting us from light years away via anti gravity space ships? I kinda doubt that... Then again we did make a ton of technological progress over the past 100 years, so who is to say a civilization like ours that is a million years ahead of us hasn't figured out inter-universe travel?

To me, this is one of the biggest questions humans face... Fun to think about too...

Where did that myth ever originate? I've been living in Germany for several years now and I've NEVER met a single person who likes/liked, let alone loves/loved David Hasselhoff (or even knew who he was). Thank god.

I love how even these highly intelligent government scientists are so geo-centric that they think that liquid water is a prerequisite for life. My favorite Star Trek (not to be considered highly scientific, but an interesting possibility nonetheless) episode was the silicon-based crystalline entity. Lived in the vaccuum of space and didn't need water. HAH.

The "Germans love David Hasselhoff" thing is from an old Saturday Night Live skit. I think it had something to do with his CD sales being higher over there or something. So you guys really DON'T love David hasselhoff?

drumminpilot · January 31st, 2003, 16:21

So just a question here........ Everybody seems to call "aliens" and stuff of that nature "intelligent life" Could it be that maybe they're not that smart, that they're really stupid, but they just got really lucky?
