Why let themselves be seen now?

They've been waiting for populations to get fat enough for harvesting

This explains why there are more frequent sightings in certain parts of the world

Pics or it didnt' happen.

So…. Assuming these are extraterrestrial, why have we not caught them entering our atmosphere on one of the many satellites or sensors we have floating around?



I definitely believe what the people saw was real, I just can’t wrap my head around what it could be!?

[Rikao4]

just a reminder to those thinking big....
someone has better toys..
them cruising about is one thing..
should they decide to pull us over..
what's the routine..

I don't know what the routine is, but Seahawk tried to duck and run from one and that didn't work. They did not give him a ticket as far as he has told us.

I was talking with Mike Holloway about this today - I was driving to get some farm stuff between meetings and Mike had left a message.

During the 30 minutes or so the UFO bounced us (flying wing, accelerating and disappearing, returning to our wing; lather, rinse..), we decided to slow and go low.

When you drop SAR swimmers it is called a "10 and 10", meaning 10 feet off the water and 10 knots forward air speed. That didn't work. But at least we were at an altitude I was willing to fall from.

This was at night.

The SH-60B, a wonderful piece of gear, has a max practical forward airspeed of about 140kts, so my options were limited.

Anyway. As I have said many times, I didn't get a massage at the Alien Orchids of Alien massage parlor with R. Kraft, but whatever was flying with me wasn't from this planet.

buddy at work - his mom was supposedly abducted. mid 1970's, in northern Ontario.
the story behind it seems almost believable.
her and another child .......
the family went looking for the other child, couple of decades later - they were told he ran into the bush screaming something about aliens - and was never seen again.

I don't think it would have mattered of you could go an order of magnitude faster.

Besides, I am not saying it was the lizard people, but...

[rusnak]

If they are advanced enough to get here, then there is no way they don't have a much much bigger ship parked on the far side of the solar system. They probably have landed and have found some way of getting a lot closer to us than by zipping around some corn field.

Ha, I was expecting this. Unfortunately, the first-gen iphone I had at the time photographed a grainy lit mass.

A guy I work with swears he saw a UFO a couple years ago at night in our truck yard about 75 - 100 feet above the ground quietly moving east and then north and then all of a sudden just vanishing. Said it was the size of an small car, very odd in appearance, shimmering sort of. He went in and asked the dispatchers if they could confirm it via security footage. Well, they just blew him off. A couple days late one dispatcher decided to take and look and sure as schit, there it was. I was in the same yard a week or so later at around 2:00am (no one around) dropping a trailer and couldn't GTFO fast enough.

What's odd is these things really seem to be happening and no one seems to give a rat's ass.

oooh ooh, me too!

For the record, I do believe that there's probably other intelligent life somewhere in our galaxy, and almost certainly, somewhere else in the universe. That being said, I'm still having a hard time believing that objects controlled by an extraterrestrial intelligence are buzzing around in Earth's atmosphere.

BK911 makes a good point. Assuming (maybe wrongly) that ETs aren't capable of trans-dimensional travel, or aren't manipulating the time/space continuum in order to appear here, but are building machines capable of traveling unimaginable distances across space, why then are they allowing themselves to be seen? If an alien civilization possesses that level of technology, I would think they'd also be able to hide from curious eyes if they chose to. If they're here simply to conduct surveillance, wouldn't it be far more advantageous to remain invisible?

And if they're interested in more than just surveillance, why haven't any traces of resource harvesting, or other evidence of their presence, been found? When 15th century Europeans sailed west and 'discovered' the Americas, they didn't just drop in to say 'Hi', then sail back home and never return. No, these voyages were hugely expensive to undertake, and the powers that funded them expected something in return. The plundering of the New World's riches soon followed these initial voyages of discovery. Why wouldn't this be the case for ETs? Why come all this way just to rile up the locals by displaying unusual lights in the night sky?

Your comment can be taken several ways.
Unidentified doesn't mean aliens.
Or that the ufos are unmanned vessels.
I will assume the latter.
When we explore to our limits, we send unmanned vessels first.
Very possible that's what's here.
Also...
Our solar system is relatively new in the cosmos.
Look what we've done in the past 50 years.
Imagine a life form BILLIONS of years more advanced.
Earth will evolve into WALL-E.
We are domed.
Maybe they didn't have liberals and actually kept moving forward.
