Has Any UFO Sighting in the History of the Earth Ever Been Legitimate?

[CarreraS2]

What do the Pelicans say?

Is ANY (even one) UFO sighting in the entire history of the earth ever been legitimate?

By "UFO" I mean a craft constructed somewhere other than on Earth! Not just an object that is flying, and has gone unidentified.

As long as they aren't red

Haven't you read the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy??

I think your definition will cause problems because something can be "unexplained" without necessarily being "not from Earth".

I firmly believe that very credible witnesses have seen things that cannot be explained by "swamp gas" or "ball lightning" or whatever. Does that mean that these are craft from another planet? No. But it is a very interesting phenomemon.

Too bad I banned Red-UFO a couple of months ago....

I am not a UFO expert, nor do I play one on TV. But based on what I've seen, I believe there is enough pictures and video and unexplained phenomenon that can be best explained by assuming that we have been visited by something non-earthly.

As I said, it is the best explanation to date for some things, but that doesn't necessarily mean it is the true explanation.

There have been incidences that science can't explain...

Here is something that no one has explained...In the first nationaly reported abduction case..Betty and Barney Hill in 1962...Betty asks the Alien what the lines are that are drawn on a star map in the UFO...The alien replies that they are trade routes or places they have visitied before....Under hypnosis she recreated the star map....with the lines...It wasn't until 1969 that the one of the stars on the map was even discovered.... So it gives one something to think about...

[bryanthompson]

wow, tabs... That might be one of your only posts within the last 2 weeks that actually makes sense! In a UFO thread no less... amazing

I have a theory that UFOs may possibly be "from Earth" - but from the future. We don't have the technology now for time travel, but we probably will one of these days. The "time traveler" theory actually works surprisingly well.

If time travel ever will exist, then it already does

I came home last night only to discovery that someone broke into my apartment and replaced everything with exact duplicates.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Bucky Goldstein...

Oh crap, I suppose this means I have to leave PPOT

edit: I'm not sure where that quote came from, I'm sure I read it somewhere or heard it from someone.

Aha! Another Stephen Wright fan!

Some more one-liners:

- I replaced my car's headlights with strobelights. Now it looks like everyone's standing still.

- I once put spot remover on my dog. Haven't seen him since...

- I named my dog "Stay." When I would want him to come by me, I'd say, "Come Stay. Come Stay."

- It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it.

- I have a map of the United States. It's to scale. I have a terrible time folding it.

- I once used my garage door opener to turn on the TV. There on the TV was a garage, fillled with little tools.

- I built my house on the median of an interstate highway. It was a b**^&ch getting out of the driveway in the morning.

- There was a light switch on the wall in my house that I could not figure out what it was attached to. Years later, I got a postcard from China that said, "Cut it out!"

K-Billy Radio brings you Stealers Wheel with "Stuck in the Middle With You."

Well I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall of my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get
down the stairs*

**Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am
Stuck in the middle with you**

Yes I am stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing joy yer, I'm all over the place

**REPEAT

Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am
Stuck in the middle with you ***Well you started off with
nothing
And you're proud that your a
self made man
And your filthy uncle calling
Slap you on the back and say
Please!
Please!

Tried to make some sense at all
But I can see it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
You don't think that I can take anymore

**REPEAT

***REPEAT

**REPEAT

Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle of you
Here I am stuck in the middle with you

You forgot one of my favorites....


- I've got a box powdered water..... I don't know what to add.


- For my birthday I got a humidifier and a de-humidifier..... I put them in the same room to let them fight it out. Then one day I filled my humidifier with wax. Now my room is all shiny.

- If con is the opposite of pro... Then what's the opposite of progress?


- If a cow laughs, does milk come out of it's nose?

- How come Superman could stop bullets with his chest, but always ducked when someone threw a gun at him?

- Why are there 5 syllables in the word "monosyllabic?

- How come abbreviated is such a long word?

- Just think how much deeper the ocean would be if sponges didn't live there.

- Tell a man that there are 400 billion stars and he'll believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint and he has to touch it.

- I want to get a tattoo of myself on my entire body only 2" taller.

- What's another word for Thesaurus?

- When I was a baby I kept a diary. Recently I was re-reading it. It said, "Day 1 - still tired from the move." "Day 2 - Everybody talks to me like I'm an idiot.".

If so maybe it will make all the rest of us stop and finally relize that we ain't the only game in town and we best pull together becuase I have a funny feeling that anything smart enough to figuer out how to get here has some pretty nasty motives - that be some pretty darn curious creatures.

My kids are curious also, to the point I have to tell them not see how far a barn cat can fly off a see-saw - they mean no harm...their just curious.

Never been a big fan of aliens, but I will say one thing, they do one heck of a good job on my lawn!
