[@hansjorgkunde3772]

Bill Clinton asked George Bush,( Chief of the CIA that time, < that is wrong sry.) correct is on the briefing of President to President elect about the UFO files. He got denied access with the reason 'you don't need to know' .... which in fact prove the existence of a shadow government. So even the US president is left out and in the dark about this issue..can't blame them for that. My personal thinking is, either this hidden rulers are the Aliens, or they somehow 'convinced' Humans to keep quiet about this issue. Destroying evidence and ridicule everyone involved is systematically... One possible explanation is, Earth is ours (the Aliens) and we use it as an experiment. And if the guinea pigs don't behave we will end this experiment. Strong argument to do what they want right ?

20 years ago I accompanied my roommate to his hometown for a wedding. We drove north from TN to IND. It was about 10 o’clock in the evening when I noticed a funny light in the night which I initially presumed to be an aircraft. The “light” began to dance around the stars; left and right, up and down. I thought maybe a spotlight or something. Then it just took off to the other side of the sky, literally as far as I could see. Then, whoosh! All the way back, in a second. At this point I’m a little excited and nervous. Suddenly there were TWO of them, whipping around each other and whizzing to and fro like nobody’s business. Every few moments or so a large(to the best of my description) ball of orange light would form and hover in the air, slowly dissolving. 4 balls of orange total. It seemed as if the 2 “aircrafts” were flirting or playing a game with each other. I don’t know much, but I have never seen anything move the way that they moved that night, whatever they were. The entire experience was maybe 2-3 minutes.

[@amos083]

I saw a similar UFO in California in the 1980's, about the same time of night, driving south from Mammoth Lake. When I came home, I tried to find out on a map where that happened. The area where I saw the UFO was clearly marked "Naval Testing Grounds". I said "Oh".

It was in daylight very early in the morning, and at one point there were about 7 or 8 of them flying around. Me and my best friend tried to explain it but we couldn't figure out what could move through the sky that fast.

[@MikeAndNary]

I have the same story. Around the late 70's from my bedroom window facing East. A light in the sky roughly the same brightness as Venus moved up and down then sporadically in all directions before flickering out. Entire sightng lasted maybe 2 minutes.

Lights were dancing fast far far in the distance, moving up, down, left right... then disappeared and came back... then it started to love toward us and all of a sudden it turns out to be a plane of some sort, triangle in shape, it flies over head, silent, completely silent... it looked like a military plane but it was flying so low and made no noise

In the 80s I saw a "ufo" in the hills behind Auckland, New Zealands biggest city. It was a very bright point of light that appeared in the sky and gradually gained intensity. At first I thought it was a huge star, but when it became much brighter I stopped to watch it and figure out what it was. To my amazement it suddenly shot across the mountain range and instantly ended up on the other side of the skyline, then it stopped just as suddenly, and stayed motionless for a few seconds before zipping up into the stratosphere and out of sight. It was one of those things that makes you think " what the hell was that? but even more so.

I am one of the lucky ones to have an encounter. I live here in Australia. A little less than 40 years ago I was on a beach camp. A girl & I had left the main hall to go to our dorms & toilet situated outside. It was about 10 pm. As we were walking I looked over towards the town & noticed what looked like lightening through the clouds in the distance. My friend happened to look up as well in time to see this saucer fly through the clouds & circle round in front of us & move towards the beach. My friend wanted to get a camera but I told her it would be long gone by then. My friend stayed where she was as I ran down to the beach. The craft was stationary above the beach, maybe 50 feet above the sand. It didnt make a sound & was saucer shaped with lights all the way around it. I distinctly felt that I was being given a choice to go with them. Mentally I had decided to stay & immediately the craft moved out about 10 feet from shore. The water here was only 6 foot deep & the craft was the size of a house. The craft then turned on it's side like a coin balancing on it's edge & came straight down into the water which seems impossible as it was so shallow. It didn't even cause a ripple & never made a sound. I still believe to this day that this was not a random encounter, but that I was chosen for the encounter & given an opportunity for an adventure.

For a long time I believed that life doesn't exist beyond this planet. Not because of religion, uniqeness or distance. But because of time. The universe is ancient and life on Earth is just a moment of existence in comparison. The chance that other life exists in our own timeline, rather than billions of years before Earth was formed or billions of years after it ceases to exist is approaching to zero. But the recent sightings and government admissions cast a doubt on that. Maybe life on other planets did exist billions years ago... But maybe it didn't stop yet. Maybe it is possible to develop technology that keeps the life going beyond natural life span of habitable planets. And if it is possible... Then it is basically guaranteed it happened.

Untill we saw a big white blueish ball of light coming from behind a mountaintop, at which feet we were hanging out. It was like quater size of the moon, and as bright as the brightest star, so we all watched it surprised. It looked like it was like 2-3 Km away, but since we don't know it's size, it's hard to judge. The ball of light was moving relatively slowly, and in a non linear, wavy motion. It stopped, and moved again, like it was floating, without any sound. Then suddenly dissapeared. It moved about 45 degrees on the horizon. Maybe it was a ball lightning, or a UFO, but I know for sure it wasn't any conventional flying object..We waved our hands at it ,and had some laughs, but it was something I'll never forget,and probably none of us will.

I looked back at the light approaching. I noticed no sound and no light beam coming from what I thought was a helicopter down to the ground as you would see from a police helicopter. I expressed my bewilderment to my friend. When I looked back at the light it was huge...about the size of a football field. It was a dull white lighted disk moving about 3 mph from left to right over the tree line. No sound at all. I asked my friend WHAT IS THAT several times and my friend said I AM SCARED.

It was dark and possibly metallic. My brother and I witnessed this craft when we were younger. My brother was older than me and I remember very vividly that he was screaming in terror " Go away, Go away". However, I had a completely different reaction to seeing this craft. At the same time that he was screaming in terror, I was jumping up and down yelling " Come down, come down". Its so strange, because I remember feeling like it was " playful" and I was very excited to see it. I was very young, but I knew it was something extremely unusual.

“Proxima Centauri is a planet reachable with current technology in about 40 years”….. Um, no, it’s not. First, it’s not a planet, it’s a star. Second it’s 4.2 light years away. The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. We are about to launch the fastest rocket ever launched in an attempt to get close to the sun, something that you’d think would be easy but isn’t. That rocket will travel at 430,000mph, which is 119 miles per second. Pretty fast considering voyagers 1 and 2 are in the range of 30,000 mph. There are people talking about using light sails and lasers to accelerate small paper thin probes enough to be able to travel interstellar distances, but none exist yet. They are hoping to be able to launch them in 20-25 years, and that they will take 20 years to get to Proxima. That’s not to say that it’s impossible, but credibility takes a big step outside of reasonable with statements like this in there. FWIW, I also doubt that the Roswell incident actually was a spacecraft. It’s much more likely to be something that the military were experimenting with that went wrong and that they didn’t want the public and the soviets to know about. You know, like U2 spy planes or space capsules or whatever. We know that they experimented with both animal and human trials in that area at the time. Making up stories about coverups and conspiracy are a great way to sell books though, and the best conspiracy theories have a small element of truth in them, but it seems much more likely that the mundane is true than some fantastic coverup.

That’s the definition of a coverup/conspiracy. This thought process is why they been able to deny deny for decades without public pressure. Keep an open mind bro.

[@markedwards4879]

@@zandrrlife there is a massive difference between keeping a military secret, secret, and covering up about aliens. There is also a massive difference between investigating unknown sightings of what are reported as an airborne craft and saying that it’s a spacecraft. UFO just means Unidentified Flying Object. Until you identify what it is, everything is a UFO. Governments are, of course, investigating sightings and reports. This doesn’t mean that they are saying that alien spacecraft exists or that they are investigating alien spacecraft. Pretty well every sighting or report has been shown to be something relatively mundane. Those that haven’t because of a lack of information remain as ‘unknown’. Just because something is unknown doesn’t mean that you can inject any theory into it and have credibility. To do so is a logical fallacy. I keep an open mind, but apply critical thinking so that it’s not so open as to let my brain fall out. It’s much more likely that all of Roswell was covering up the development of technology than it was to be a yet unidentified technology belonging to some aliens that we also can’t identify and that cannot be confirmed. You may as well say that it was pixies since there is the same amount of corroborating evidence.

When I was a kid in the 70's I was a passanger in the back seat of my parent's car as we drove over the UK's North Yorkshire Moors. The day was clear and sunny with little cloud and I saw a silverish shape streak across the sky appearing to go extreemly fast which seemed to roll over and then suddenly vanish. Look as hard as we could my mother and I could no longer see it anywhere. For some reason it did not strike me as a plane. Decades later and I found out that the area has a NORAD missile radar detection base called RAF Fylingdales and presumably is in a no-fly zone as I have never seen any aircraft out there during many motorcycle rides around there. But the bizarre thing is that since the internet became a thing I found out that the area is a UFO spotting 'hot spot'. Did I see a UFO? I still think it may have been one.

As a 12-year old during 1958, while operating a Massey Ferguson tractor which was pulling a plow on my Grandmother's Kansas farm and traveling in an East to West direction, as my father operated a larger M&M tractor in an adjacent nearby field and traveling in a North to South direction, we both observed the following: directly in front of my father's path and approximately 200 yards away to my left-rear, was a thick path of maize that was probably 12-16 feet in height; as my dad was approaching the maize patch, I turned my head to the left in order to evaluate the progress of the plow as I was beginning to prepare to make a turn to the left; apparently my father's approach to the maize threatened what had been concealed within the thick maize stalks, because just as I had turn my head to the left, a metallic disc-shaped craft lifted upward and came to an abrupt stop as it briefly hovered above the maize, causing maize debris to scatter in all directions; I brought my tractor to a stop and watched in amazement as the disc suddenly moved towards the East at a speed of what I can only estimate now to have been far in excess of 4,000 mph, until it almost immediately reached the outskirts of the nearby town of Arlington approximately a mile away, whereupon is changed direction and abruptly moved to the South and it climbed several thousand more feet until it again changed direction toward the East, where it continued to climb at an approximately 60-degree angle until it finally disappeared as it blended in with the full moon that was hovering in the afternoon sky. As I had watched the spacecraft fade from sight, I recall feeling a sense of sadness, because I understood that I was unlikely to ever see it again. The craft had made no sounds as it darted through the air, nor did it emit any hit of what was propelling it. However, as it moved away from me, I noticed that it didn't rotate on its axis, but it did appear to be shifting through a series of gears, because was it moved forward, it incrementally gave the impression that it was increasing its speed; as it was moving, it also gave me the impression that it was being pulled--not pushed. After the craft disappeared from site, I lifted the plow out of the ground and drove the tractor to my father's location. My father revealed that he had also watched the craft as it took off and sped away, and that he had seen them on prior occasions. He cautioned me against mentioning to anyone else what we had seen, because people would label us crazy. So, this is only part of an experience that I had suppressed until a related incident half a century later allowed the memory to resurface as though it had just occurred. Whether the craft was an alien spacecraft or a reverse- engineered version of an alien spacecraft, it's capabilities were far above any known aircraft that was available at that time or what we having flying now. My major concern is not that our government has been lying to us, because my personal experience clearly proves that it has been lying; but why? Are the aliens from distant galaxies or from planets closer to home, including our own planet Earth?

FYI: Chuck Zukowski's assertion that most cattle mutilations and UFO sightings occur along the 37th Parallel is absolutely NOT true. Two weeks ago, for instance, 40 cattle were reported mutilated in Patagonia, South America and since 2002 over 3500 cattle have been reported mutilated in South America, with very few cases occurring in North America over the past 10 years. All mutilations are NOT found on their left side. All mutilations are NOT drained of blood. The incisions are NOT always circular. The vast majority of cases indicate human perpetrators and "aliens" are the least likely answer to the question of who is perpetrating these experiments. FYI: Chuck is a 'johnny-come-lately' to unexplained livestock death investigation. According to longtime investigators of these mysterious livestock deaths, his observations are fanciful- NOT objective and his limited experience (only since 2007) is not extensive. Most UFO sightings do NOT occur along the 37th parallel. Most underground bases are NOT located on the 37th parallel, etc etc I could go on & on... If you are interested in learning the truth, not the pop-cultural media-friendly BS, familiarize yourself w/ Tom Adam's work: Project Stigmata (Jan 1978 - 1987) and read my book Stalking the Herd which is the only comprehensive, objective book that is intellectually honest and examines the entire unexplained livestock death (cattle mutilation) mystery.

I applaud his efforts, however there are some major flaws in his recounting of the events at Roswell. At least some of the debris was taken to Wright Patterson AFB in Ohio. With regard to traveling to Proxima Centauri in "just 40yrs", that's patently false - it's over 4 light years away, and would take us over 54 000 years to get there with our current propulsion systems. That's not a small error in facts. That being said, according to Bob Lazar, the crafts use an anti-gravity propulsion system fueled by a stable version of element 115 which enables them to create their own gravitational field used to propel them. This in turn creates distortions in space-time, allowing for much quicker commutes.

MrWizardofozzz Everyone still misunderstands in the basic range, but the unidentified flying objects do not indicate whether they are extraterrestrial, derived from the earth, or driven by extraterrestrials or by natural phenomena. The world acknowledges then that there are flying objects on this earth whose identity is unknown and whose source is not known. Otherwise, the nation cannot afford to invest in the research.

In researching historical records of this time line every person having contact with the president was noted in security logs and historical archives for posterity. Even the unintended meeting with a pastor he happened to notice stop and chatted with. But no record has ever been found of his needing to see a dentist. And the dentist on call at the airbase never mentioned meeting the president even to his wife who stated " if he had met the president" who they both admired " he would have definitely told me".

Strange experience. I thought it was a helicopter 300 to 400 feet above me story as follows: Four years ago and trying to find out the logic of what I saw ever since. It was 4:30am I was walking the dogs and this light caught my eye. I was not looking up at the sky just walking and the thing (UFO) caught my attention out of the corner of my eye. The craft was so low in the sky, about 500 feet up. When I looked up for the first fraction of a second I thought it was a helicopter, it was coming down. The next fraction of the first second I thought it was a Jumbo Jet. I had no fear that in my mind because it was silent I had nothing to be frightened about? Then I saw a perfect round shiny craft. This is what was coming down on me. I watched then it stopped and moved away towards the north of me. I could no longer see it as trees were blocking my view. I cannot get it out of my head to this day. It is the worst thing to happen to anyone as I don't know how much time I have wasted since then looking for answers. I have this thought that these craft do not fly into our world from outer space. They come from another dimension. If you can see it but can't hear it, does it exist? If you can see it so low in the sky but don't hear a whoosh of the air being blown when it fly’s away then does it exist? I guess the craft has had to come from a different dimension as it has properties that do not make sense in this world. I am still searching for answers but at least I know these craft exist. I have proved that this science exists (to myself) because I have observed it. This has changed my outlook on life and suppose I will take that to my grave.

His sheep, apparently, would not enter the debris field with caused him to grab a few pieces and a couple of days later to bring them to the owners of the ranch who then contacted the town sheriff, who then contacted the air base.

[@donwayne1357]

The government had an alien and was questioning it. "What was up with all that anal probing?" The alien said "Oh, we did that all over the galaxy to all kinds of species, we really learned a lot about them, but in truth we only learned one thing about humans from it." The government agent asked what that one thing was and the alien said " We learned that about ten percent of you really liked it."

As an amateur astronomer, out there in the dark with my telescope, I have seen many UFO's. After some investigation, I managed to turn them all into IFO's.

[@blackholeentry3489]

Willie Koorts….I've been an amateur astronomer most of my 78 years. For about twenty years I used an off road vehicle riding area for my observing site....no one rides in the summer and I often had the 110,000 acre site for myself and would often go three or four days w/o seeing another soul. In all of the time I spent there, never saw a single UFO, but, I have had three other sitings. Once, in the late 60's, had an estimated 75' diameter classic 'flying saucer' fly directly over my house at an estimated altitude of 75'. It was at night, but my unshielded front porch light illuminated it really well.

An alternative hypothesis for the multilations might be a follow up on the nuclear testing that happened in Nevada. Perhaps an un-named department is performing examinations to detect isotope exposure.

[@seanpughes2341]

David Warrilow agreed. Theory out there is using captured and recovered tech to mask the operation. - along with a massive disinformation campaign...

[@davidwarrilow7083]

Sean Pughes Before I would go down the rabbit hole I would first apply Occam's razor. What if we state a series of statements. UFOs are weather balloons or natural phenomena. UFOs are commercial or military airplanes which have been misinterpreted. UFOs are experimental technology (military). UFOs are craft used by terrestrial civilizations which existed in pre-history. UFOs are extraterestrial. It is as wrong to say all sightings are balloons as to say all sightings are Alien.

[@seanpughes2341]

David Warrilow I agree completely. In fact I'd go further and say the majority of credible sightings are piloted by humans. With the closest habitable Planet 40 years travel time by our current tech it's not a stretch to think we've been in contact with an EBE or multiple EBE's. There's myriad governments disclosing...it's only a matter of time til it's just common knowledge.

[@easyebs5841]

Seems like they would just breed the cows themselves and not piss off farmers to test isotope exposure. Granted you could say why wouldn't aliens do that but I don't think they have the liberty of being able to build a building or farm in front of everyone on livable land and without being seen by google maps.But there are many other things like the people who participated in the weather balloon photo shoot saying it was fake, and also the fact that the air force did release a statement admitting to it being a UFO then taking it back. How you confuse a crashed UFO with a crashed weather balloon? In any case it's gotta be secretive technology or alien technology. Still cool either way. Maybe roswell crash was a glimpse of secretive military technology that the air force then used aliens as a coverup but then realized the implications of saying that and made up something else.

[@davidwarrilow7083]

Erik John Wayne made an unfortunate movie about Ghengis Khan about 100 miles down wind of a nuclear test. The cloud passed over the United States and into Canada. It led to clusters of leukemia and cancers. My scenario suggests that this could be a study over time and location - the US government could not do this on a couple of farms. It is far simpler to harvest an occasional animal and spread the rumour of UFOs. Would you eat hamburgers coming from this area if you were aware it was contaminated with Strontium 90? What liability would the government face not only to the food producers but also if it was proven that people were poisoned from the fallout.

[@e.k.6264]

Regardless whether or not you believe, the method of travel used does not require normal time, magnetic energy would be instantaneous and would allow for protection from normal friction, the wormholes spoken of could very easily be magnetic tunnels that are accessible if you know where they are and where they lead to, which would be anywhere in the Universe or Multi-Verse, then travel would be quick for anyone.

[@robertschlesinger1342]

Extraterrestrial objects are very likely here, but they are probably not alien beings in flying saucers. They would better be described as cyborg and would have to be mostly machine to survive interstellar space, lengthy travel times, and to enhance their abilities. Their vehicle would be capable of technologies far beyond what we now have, such as stealth and invisibility technologies. They would have gone far beyond the use of hieroglyphics or the like because the baud rate would be far too slow. In short, they're probably here and we have no idea how to detect them. There is sketchy scientific evidence of their presence, but it is still quite speculative and involves very complicated physics and mathematics to shed light upon.

[@tommyhjertezen7990]

For me, this is not really about believing, as I personally had the great pleasure of experiencing several moments where I have seen UFOs. Carl Sagan once said something incredibly true, which I can often read about in the vast majority of cases where believers make their voices heard. He said: 'You can't convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it's based on a deep-seated need to believe.' An easier way to say the same thing: Those who say faith, says at the same time that they do not actually know. If you want knowledge, you make sure to relate to things that can be put into evidence. If you want knowledge and skills, you make sure you learn from proven science. The simplest evidence for UFO is any unidentified flying object being targeted, which is the definition of a particular UFO.

[@shaktiveda7041]

That was fun! I like the lighthearted conversation in this video and the way this guy conveyed this subject. I personally do not believe in UFO, like the short title suggests, I know they exist. Since childhood, I always sensed and knew there had to be other forms of life out there in the universe, even though I bought the story I was told, for a little while, that there were no other living beings in the universe other than ourselves, I have to say such story didn't last long with me...indeed, in 2001 I personally saw a huge spaceship flying the sky at the speed that no supersonic jets can fly, so far that I am aware of. No supersonic jet can come to a complete stop in the air and no jet can display that type of energy vortex that I have experienced and no jet can make a perfect Merkaba in the sky at the speed of light and sit still right in the middle of it. So, do I believe in UFO? No, I know for certain that they are real and that various other forms of intelligent and highly evolved life exist in this universe. I do not do drugs, do not drink alcohol and do not smoke either.

You know, I used to be an on-the-fence believer of Lazar's stories because it gave me hope that maybe one day we could achieve harnessing a perfect energy source or develop something unhindered by gravity to allow for interstellar travel, but man, his Joe Rogen interview did not do him any favors. His behavior was not the behavior of a man sharing a past experience but one of a dishonest (but intelligent) man scanning his brain for all of the past things he said to make sure he didn't contradict himself. I think there are tiny grains of truth, but you can't tell me he just had a convenient migraine that night that made it hard for him to answer questions that should be simple for a person who was there and would have replayed through those events in his head hundreds of times throughout his life.

[@TheGamePhilter]

@@walkingtalkingstephenhawki5171 maybe, I'm always skeptical. My wife has severe migraines often especially without her Topimax (spelling may be wrong) medication and even with her meds she gets break through headaches so I understand that in some cases people can have this issue and sometimes they can be severe. But I watched another guy who analyzes body language for a similar reason, to see if they may be lying or not and even he was at least convinced that his mannerisms where truthful and authentic. But one may never be too careful, maybe he's a great liar, maybe he's honest. And that's why I remain skeptical, even with tons of people who claim they've seen "UFO'S" I just never have, not once.

Also the main parts of his story are backed up by current scientific discoveries such as element 115 and the discovery of gravity waves.
