Anyone else ever seen a UFO?

[Xander Harris 9,219]

[Jill Sandwich 10,817]

It gets frustrating when people forget what the "UFO" acronym actually stands for and they automatically think it means "advanced extraterrestrial spacecraft". This goes for both skeptics and believers who persist in misusing the phrase.

One is headed toward Los Angeles. The other two are on our Eastern seaboard headed towards New York and Washington...

Uh...Fuck Off.

[Oomoog the Ecstatic 314]

I've seen E.T.

[Bespin Copilot 10,587]

Yes, E.T.... based on true events...

 

[Oomoog the Ecstatic 314]

I knew it! I knew it, I knew it

They've been studying us for years trying to find out our weaknesses! We gotta stop 'em!

[Naïve Old Fart 12,744]

We've been observing your Earth, and would like to make a contact, with you. We are your friends...

[A24 5,033]

All together now!

 

 

JWFan in chorus: Calling occupants of interplanetary craft ...

WE ARE NOT ALONE!

[Sir Hilary Bray 235]

Who are you people!?

A great song, and a superior cover.

[Xander Harris 9,219]

I wanted to quote the Bigfoot guy from Close Encounters, but I remembered "Ollie" already did.

[Naïve Old Fart 12,744]

That's Roberts Blossom, to you, sunny Jim.

[theMaestraX 106]

Are THEY really from the Internal Revenue Services?

I used to confuse him with the grail knight.

We're talking about the fucking company!

Sometimes there's a peak of people filming UFOs. The questionable thing about the footage is that each UFO seems to be very different. Either the alien race that is observing us happens to like 'craft diversity' or we are being watched by hundreds of different aliens. Both feel unlikely to me.

I suggest you start reading something else than the papers. 

The Mahabharata and its plentiful descriptions of vimanas would be a start.

 

We have passenger airplanes, military carrier planes, drones, helicopters, fighter jets, satellites, space stations... By that definition, the human race is unlikely to exist.

 

99% of people are too fucking lazy to investigate anything beyond what stares them in the face during the daily routine. 

 

So, uuuh, this craft is round, and that craft is triangular, so, uuuh, that's impossible.

Sorry, but I've read von Däniken too.

And it would not surprise me that another technological advanced race has all kinds of vehicles too but I find it odd that they would send them all to Earth, let alone that they are all made for interstellar space travel. If we are being monitored by another race, travelling from a planet that's 200 or 500 light years away, I expect that they would do so with a particular craft, not thousands of different ones.

Unlike you, I don't take that as gospel.

 

PS: I also don't believe that the Pyramids of Giza were made by aliens.

 

[Jill Sandwich 10,817]

They were landing pads for Goa'uld motherships.

We're just looking for answers. In ancient times, when we couldn't explain something, it was always the work of the gods. Today the gods have merely been exchanged for aliens. 

[Jill Sandwich 10,817]

It's a foregone conclusion that none of these people have ever seen an extraterrestrial.

What is the most persuasive evidence, for the existence of U.F.O.s?

There's plenty of documented instances of unexplained phenomena that cannot be attributed to anything we can neatly catalog scientifically. Hence the term "unidentified flying object", it's an object that's in the sky, but no astronomer, meteorologist or aviation expert can identify it.

[Naïve Old Fart 12,744]

Ok, so...what about actual space ships?

[Jill Sandwich 10,817]

Not really, no.

[Naïve Old Fart 12,744]

...and aliens landing; making contact with humans?

Ooh! That's pretty. Where did you take that photo, Alex?

[Oomoog the Ecstatic 314]

I have often wondered what a real alien looks like. Let's post pictures of our best guesses.

 

[Sweeping Strings 3,287]

What that footage proves beyond all doubt is that ... the US military should divert some of its substantial budget into better camera tech in its aircraft. 

[A24 5,033]

 

Not an U.F.O. but imagine that you've never seen one of these before!

It's from Close Encounters of the Third Kind, by a director named Steven Spielberg. I've heard it's got a decent score.

[Jill Sandwich 10,817]

Anyone here in NJ see any strange aerial phenomena?
