Hazzard,

You totally missed the point! Based on the interviews, (pilot, Colonel and the professor) and eyewitness accounts, I wanted you to prove that based on the facts, that plasma was not responsible for that incident.

Now, are you up to the task or do I have to reiterated my claim that some skeptics don't do homework, and if they did, don't do it properly. Are you going to confirm my claim as factual in your case?

QUOTE
If real to begin with...All we have are those CT to pilot communications and I never heard anyone say alien spaceship or even the estimated size of anything.


Those determinations were made after anallysis were done on the data and eyewitness accounts. Some skeptics didn't know that, which is amazing since the whole incident was widely publicized around the world, but I guess there are those who left out of the loop. laugh.gif

QUOTE
All I heard was "traffic--object--target"...The rest are, as always, only stories told by someone.


What was the data tellilng him? The oraft was not a man-made aircraft. The Air Force also noted that the craft exceeded the speed of sound and not left behind a sonic boom, which is another indication why that craft was not ours and why I posted references to AIM/FAR, Part 91, 817, and Appendix B, in order to prove my point that the craft was not that of mankind because of the advanced technology involved, in other words, mankind had yet to solve the riddle of the sonic boom and there was the proof that someone had done just that.

Skyeagle409 has made hay out of JAL1628. Here is my opinion.

This report sounds like a human response to things, not ordinary,...


How many aircraft do we have that are larger than ships. The data evidence sent to Washington D.C. confirmed the pilot's accounts and radar tracks indicated that there were maneuvering around the aircraft and that one was quite large.

QUOTE
It also sounds like the pilot was an excitable personality (spaceship!) and the crew were suggestable. Also, they took no photograph because of camera malfunction.


But, there was radar data that confirmed the presence of the objects around the aircraft. The skeptics first claimed that they were Mars and jupiter, and then found they were wrong, so they used ice clouds as an explanation without checking the weather condition for that night.

A clear example of what I have been asserting about skeptics who don't do their homework.

Patheitic??? I find it amusing!!

Stella was unaware that ground-based witnesses watch the whole encounter and he said that no none saw the UFO! Hmmm!!!

And, it was dark that night and if Stella were a pilot, he should have known that ground-base lighting would have made it very, very difficult to spot any object between his aircraft and the ground, especially since the craft was not exhibiting an international arrangement of navigational lights, much less strobe lights.

Goes to show that some skeptics fall short of knowledge on the issues at hand and it just goes to prove my claims that some skeptics just don't believe in doing homework! laugh.gif

We're not talking about "many UFO reports", we're talking about the one specific to the radar data.


And, the data was NOT indicative of any plasma display, which is why the European skeptics went with stealth and secret aircraft as explanation, so it seems they understood that the data didn't exhibit natural phenomena either based on what the data depicted.

Exactly what maneuvers did it perform that can not be performed by plasma?


First of all, they don't react to radar lock-ons nor trail aricraft around for long distances nor were the maneuvers indicative of plasma nor was plasma reported by ground-base witnesses. . That is why the Air Force indicated in its report that the craft exhibited intelligence in its maneuvers but if you had done your homework would have know what the Air Force was saying about that craft, but unfotunately, you didn't and I became aware of that fact.

The big story in ufology at the moment (even getting onto mainstream TV news bulletins) is the UFOs as [b]plasma explanation, found in an FOIA'd document from the UK's Ministry of Defense.

The only thing that is pathetic, is the continual denials, when all the evidence available, says something else. The F16s were scrambled in response to both Radar tracking and visual reports...

The appearance over Eupen had no corroborative Radar data to support them. Objects were seen by two vehicle patrol officers and by an officer in a local Gendarmerie. A couple of days later another object was sighted by, amongst others, another gendarme who made an official report. Concurrent with this happening the Radar defence network was showing an unknown object on their scope. As a result, F16s were scrambled to check the object out. The pilots, in their own words, described the incident as if they were being toyed with by the object as it would allow them to lock on then vanish again.


I think it's a pretty safe hypothesis, to conclude that. This incident was yet another in along line of incidents where something, or someone, seems to take amusement from flouting their ability to be "Just that one step ahead" of our technology that goes back to. "The mystery aircraft" flying in conditions no other contemporary aircraft could in the 1930s and the "airship flap" of the late 19th century.

Given the reports from the ground described a triangular shaped craft. I don't think it is making any great leap to assume that the Radar contact was one and the same. Given that, what we do know, is this. The only made made aircraft that looks like that is the Stealth fighter, a sub sonic craft. The Radar blip hit over 1000MPH . Conclusion, the triangular craft were not Stealth fighters.

What is truly fascinating to those who actually understand the UFO phenomenon in depth, is this. That this particular "show" was in Belgium. It is as if it was picked specifically because the Belgian armed forces.gendarmerie and government were deemed to be More *open* then those of virtually any other NATO nation. That is, by putting on a show over Belgium, the case would be reported in a far more candid nature.

In this case. The Plasma explanation is about as credible as. Finding someone standing over a murder victim with the knife in their hand saying "I told you you'd pay for that one day and I'd be the one you answered to" and then blaming the murder on the tooth fairy.

Reality time for the skeptics!!

I told them why plasma wasn't, and couldn't have been responsible for any of the UFO case files on record and they wouldn't listen any more than the skeptics who didn't listen to me when I told them that no weather balloon ware responsible for the Roswell incident and now, it's time to say it all over again!!

****I TOLD YOU SO!!****


Apparently, the skeptics swallowed the plasma thing without knowing that the MoD's name is in there somewhere and we know the history of the MoD! The same folks who got caught trying to cover-up the Rendlesham UFO incident.

Is it any wonder as to why other skeptics didn't take PLASMA thing seriously either??? But then again, there are skeptics who didn't know the rest of the story.while pushing plasma issue, which is now painted as the new "swamp gas."

The skeptics really blew it this time and it is their own fault, and now, I will record this episode and bring it up from time to time to prove my point that some skeptics didn't do their homework and got really sloppy on the plasma issue and they did it in front of the wrong person! disgust.gif

UFOs: PLASMA, THE NEW SWAMP GAS

Sunday, March 16, 2008-"Swamp Gas" being of course the infamous explanation for UFOs seen in the skies back in the day. This is a piece I wrote for American Chronicle in 2006, and thought it’d be interesting to repost it here.

Apparently they just couldn't resist.

Scientists at the Defence Intelligence Staff, part of the Ministry of Defence, reportedly described how glowing "plasmas" of gas were created by charges of electricity. Air flows then sculpted the plasmas into aerodynamic shapes which appeared to fly at extraordinary speeds through the sky.I am of the opinion that the people writing these things for their various intel agencies are snorting milk out their noses as they come up with these ideas. They go on:

As a result, people who thought they'd seen a UFO were instead suffering from "extended memory retention and repeat experiences" induced by the plasmas.

No comment. None needed.

It's dazzling to see how quickly this official explanation has made its way to the news feeds. If you can't smell Big Bad Debunker in all this, it's because, as the saying goes, you haven't been paying attention.

UFO Updates. Anyone who sincerely swallows this explanation for UFOs -- that it's plasma -- is simply naive, stubborn, or both. And if both, that?s a dangerous combination.

Hazzard,

As an aviator, you should have known that there was no way that plasma could have been responsible for any of he UFO case files in quesiton and that the plasma issue was false and moot to begin with from an aviators standpoint and I sat here for days as an aviator waitig for you to come clean on that fact, which never came to light.

The whole point of all of this, there were some skeptics here who got very sloppy on the plasma issue and now, it has been duly noted!

As an aviator Hazzard knows when to look at the science and realize that this is not a common phenomenon and could definitely be the cause of a lot of the sightings. Your insistance upon the opposite with only feeble attempts of substantiation makes you look more like a pig farmer than an aviator.

True SE, he started out as a skeptic & debunker (read somewhere he even boasted about enjoying it) Yet he was assigned to three of the top secret projects (Sign, Grudge & Blue Book) 'Surely the air force would have been 'keeping close tabs on him even in his later years' (a man of that importance ya know)...Why the 360 o (change of heart)? Or is there more a lot more $$ in it for him as a believer especially in his retirement years?...


Hi Reb,

Actually, the story is a lot more benign. He indeed started out as a skeptic, but was intrigued by the data that was available and even harassed the scientific community for not tking a greater interest. But as the years passed by and he sifted through the material that he had gotten delivered, he basically concluded that ET wasn't in that data and we should look at explanations closer to Earth. So you can say he went from being a skeptic to a very intrigued person back to a skeptic.

Not really much more to it, in my honest opinion.

In other wordsl examiners, researchers, those inovolved, didn't take plasma seriously either, and rightly so, because the incidents involved structured and intellligently controlled crafts and many countries around the world are currently reporting from their own UFO case files.


And this is plain out wrong and shows how far detached you actually are from what you are talking about. Plasmas are actually a huge research area. Which obviously had eluded you.

QUOTE (Lilly @ Apr 23 2008, 04:18 AM) *
Just to interject a thought here; I highly suspect that various UFOs most likely have various explanations. In other words, the plasma explanation certainly doesn't fit all cases, but appears to be viable for some cases. Each case has to be looked at individually, some explanations just *fit* certain cases better than others. However, there are a few cases that really do seem to defy explanation (hence, the mystery).

Reality is that there isn't any one highly supported hypothesis that manages to definitively explain all UFOs events. One is certainly 'free to choose' whichever explanation they personally like, but this isn't the same thing as saying one has 'proven' one's hypothesis to be reality.


Lilly, I completely agree. Actually, we don't even know if plasma is the cause of the sightings in any of the cases at hand. The issue at hand is that in many cases we can't rule it out either, so we have multiple possible explanations and can thus not make a qualified conclusion based on the data at hand original.gif

"No triangular crafts were ever spotted in conjunction with the radar data. Actually, the lights were moving independently and not attached to a triangular craft. And nowhere was the plasma hypothesis excluded."

Sorry but that statement is completely and utterly wrong... F16s were scrambled to intercept Radar tracks of craft that had been also been reported as Triangular shapes by witnesses on the ground... it was a few days after the initial sightings of several Triangular craft over Eupen, about 9 miles from the German border.


Actually no. Sure, there were tringualr craft spotted, but not in conjuction with the radar data. There the lights were said to move independently! I am just quoting from where I was pointed to.

QUOTE
As the pilots involved themselves said of the incident. "It was if they were playing a game with us they would allow us to get close enopugh for a lock on then just skip out of our way"


So?! That doesn't make it intelligent.

QUOTE
It should also be noticed that, the craft broke the sound barrier without any sort of sonic boom being registered. They also performed manoeuvres that would have killed any human pilot


And a plasma can do exactly that.

So, Sky, it all boils down to these three questions if we want to decide whether plasma phenomena could have been a cause of the peculiar radar tracks recorded:

1) Do reflective plasmas exist?
2) Can a reflective plasma act as a metallic object with respect to radar?
3) How does an F-16 radar filter out a radar return from a fast moving, metallic object?

That is really it, no more, no less. Can you answer those rather simple question and back up your answers with technical data?

This is as simple as it gets, this is the crux of the matter with respect to the Belgian radar data.

Oh yeah, there are most certainly instances with multiple possible explanations, and definitive/qualified conclusions continue to elude researchers. I have no problem with folks supporting their favorite hypothesis, but we need to keep in mind that (as of now anyway) no one hypothesis has been supported to the level of "proof" by any means. To think otherwise is to utilize the element of faith in one's conclusion. In other words, belief verses knowing.

I have heard that before from skeptics who lack the ability to decern what is, and what isn't, and the plasma thing is another clear example. In addition, they have failed to understand and figure out why highly experienced experts, from comericial and airline pilots, to military and intelligence officials who have stated that some UFOs are actually those of ET. In fact, they were unaware that the Air Force had already determined that some UFOs were "interplanetary spaceships" decades ago, while handing out a different story to the public.

I was surprised to get arguments from the skeptics who stood by the Air Force when it said that that test dummies and accident victims of the 1950's were responsible for an incident in 1947. Simple common sense logic should have told them that there was something wrong with the Air Force's statement, but as it was, they lacked the ability to see the light and the rest became history when the facts were eventually revealed when the head of the project had said that there was no way that his test dummies could have been responsible for what the Air Force claimed in public, but certain skeptics had already swallowed the Air Force's obvious false public announcement wihtout knowing the rest of the story, but it didn't take a rocket scientist to determine the Air Force was pushing a false story, just plain common sense.

I was giving out hints that the skeptics didn't know what they were talking about by posting that all they were doing was similar to copying Japanese language figures without understanding what those figures represented and they couldn't even figure out what the hint meant!!!

I told them why plasma was not responsible and it was all very simple and they couldn't even figure out why it was impossible for plasma to have been responsible for any of the UFO case files in question, which is proof that they don't have what it takes to debate the UFO issue.

"Headquarters determined to do some very precise studies during the next 55 minutes to eliminate the possibility of prosaic explanations for the radar images. Excellent atmospheric conditions prevailed, and there was no possibility of false echoes due to temperature inversions."

Interviewer: "Is it a natural phenomenon, or perhaps the debris from rockets or satellites or space junk?"

"No, a meteorite or a fragment of a rocket does not enter the atmosphere in a zig zag fashion. The analysis of the radar traces showed numer ous changes in direction, and the atmosphereic conditions that prevailed pre cluded any electromagnetic phenomenon as the cause."

In any event, it was out of the question for the F-16 to catch up with the object at this low altitude, where the density of the air limits the speed to 1,300 KPH. Above that speed, the temperature in the compressors of the jet turbines would cause the engines to burst," said Col. DeBrouwer. "There was a logic behind the motions of the object."

Everything indicates that this object was intelligently directed to escape from the pursuing planes.

So, Sky, it all boils down to these three questions if we want to decide whether plasma phenomena could have been a cause of the peculiar radar tracks recorded:

1) Do reflective plasmas exist?


It exist, but it had nothing to do with any of the UFO case files that have been presented. Read the reports!

QUOTE
2) Can a reflective plasma act as a metallic object with respect to radar?


Yes, and so can buildings, ships, automobiles, aircraft, towers, windmills, balloons with radar reflectors, etc, but as in the UFO case files in question, none, including plasma, were responsible for those incidents. Read the reports.

QUOTE
3) How does an F-16 radar filter out a radar return from a fast moving, metallic object?


In STT mode, other objects are filtered out from the scope and on the HUD.

Can you answer those rather simple question and back up your answers with technical data?


Yes, but I just made it simple.

In a February, 2000 confidential memo titled "Selected


Discussions with Key United States (US) Department of Defense (DoD) Intelligence Personnel on the Subject of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and Extraterrestrial Intelligence (ETI)" prepared for this reporter, Miller spelled out the details of meetings between 1989 and 2000 with named high level Department of Defense intelligence personnel - including the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), an Admiral on the Joint Staff, and the U.S. Atlantic Command Director for Intelligence - among others. Miller says he initiated briefings "to provide the flag officers with information to help the military decision-making processes when these unexplained craft are encountered by members of the Department of Defense."

"...Declassified government documents show that unexplained objects with extraordinary technical capabilities pose challenges to military activity around the globe. U.S. fighter jets have been scrambled to pursue UFOs, according to North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) logs and U.S. Air Force documents. Peruvian and Iranian Air Force planes attempted to shoot down unexplained objects during air encounters, and Belgium F-16's equipped with automatically guided missiles pursued UFO's in 1990."

Quote me where I said that.

And you still didnt answer my question. What does a plasma radar return have different from an aircraft radar return?

QUOTE
And, the data was NOT indicative of any plasma display


What about the data made it not indicative of plasma?

QUOTE
First of all, they don't react to radar lock-ons


React? On the contrary! Plasma does react to radar lock ons! Ever hear of compton scattering? Maybe you should do your homework then! When an EM wave collides with an electron, it will give the electrons momentum (thus changing their speed/direction)! Thats white a reaction... and especially when you switch to STT mode, because at that point, the radar system is focusing all of its energy on the one target. What will this look like to the pilot? Well, it will look like all of a sudden the target "reacted" to the pilot locking onto it.

No, they are not lying, and one of the reasons is, there are lots reliable electronic data that backs their accounts. Secondly, it is not likely that commercial and military pilots are going to lie about their encounters, and in fact, most encounters are not even reported. In some cases, whole aircrews and passengers were part of those aerial UFO encounters, which was confirmed by radar and ground observers. (Bariloche, 1995).



Amazing!!, I remember hearing the bariloche news when I was a kid. I lived in bariloche during my childhood untill I was 11 years old. One night driving back to the city with my grandmother, we spoted an unidentified object hovering over a distant mountain. We both could see it clearly, it was a hovering object with several redish circular lights around it. My grandma was a total skeptic about the UFO phenomenon and I was just a 8 years old kid who never put much thought into these issues. But we both we amazed by what we saw and never forgot about it.

A few weeks ago I came to know that my uncle, also in bariloche, spoted a ufo just 200 meter above the ground and some 100 meters from his car. He said he was traveling during the night through some mountain road ( very frequent in bariloche ) and he spoted a light near his car, then the light moved quickly away from him and dissapeared into the sky. Really hard stuff to believe but again, you should meet my uncle, he is pretty much like my grandma.

Now I googled bariloche ufo and lots of stuff came up, and even some ufo sightings on the surrounding cities too. You should know that the whole area of bariloche and the neighbouring places are pretty much scarcely inhabited and filled with forests and lakes. Thereīs also a quite big atomic plant working in there. Lots of people would talk about sightings in bariloche back when I lived there.

Of course I can only talk of what I saw, and by no means Iīm implying that I saw an extraterrestrial ship. Iīm just saying I saw a flying object which was clearly not a plane, helicopter or any known to the masses type of human flying artifact. Whatever it was I donīt know, but I just seemed to have found bariloche is a hot spot for these sightings.

Funny thing you knew about this....

Intelligently controlled references to maneuvers on the radar scope, unlike plasma. As the Air Force mentioned, there was intelligence behind the maneuvers, which was clearly evidenct in the data.

As the pilots involved themselves said of the incident. "It was if they were playing a game with us they would allow us to get close enopugh for a lock on then just skip out of our way"

Bariloche UFO Incident

A flying saucer perturbed the air traffic at Bariloche airport.

SAN CARLOS DE BARILOCHE 02/08 (AFP) = On Monday morning, around ten eye-witnesses reported that, moving at high velocity and defying all known laws of physics, a white flying saucer perturbed the air traffic at the San Carlos de Bariloche airport, located 1 800 km S-W of Buenos-Aires, during 15 minutes on Monday to Tuesday night.

The observation stated on Monday at 23:30 GMT (Tuesday 01H30 HB) while Aérolinas Argentinas flight 674, en route from Buenos Aires with 102 passengers and 3 crew members was on final approach to land on the runway of Bariloche airport, an in vogue winter resort located on the first slopes of the Andes.

"The pilot of the plane had to accomplish a desperate escape maneuver not to collide with an unidentified flying object (UFO)" said several members of the Argentine military air forces. These testimonies were confirmed by Major Jorge Oviedo himself who "also saw a UFO" and who stated that "a power failure occurred at the same time in the city and all recording and measure apparatus at the airport were jammed". Several inhabitants claimed they saw the UFO just before the power failure.

"We were 15 minutes away from landing at Bariloche. The local air traffic controller gave us clearance for initiating the instrument landing procedure. We came down from level 120 (i.e. 12,000 feet) to level 30 (i.e. 3,000 feet; around 1,000 meters) said pilot Jorge Polanco.

"As I was initiating final descent, I saw suddenly a white light in front of the plane, moving at high speed directly towards us before stopping instantly around 100 meters away. When I re-initiated the approach procedure, the object turned in a strange way to accompany our descent turn and kept a trajectory parallel to that of the plane, still 100 meters away " said the pilot.

" My plane was working properly, but after a while, the color of the saucer (the size of which was comparable to that of a liner), shifted. Two green lights at the extremities and a slowly flashing orange one at the center appeared ", he added.

" As I was almost landing, the runway lights and those of the airport shut off at once. I therefore had to apply full throttle to climb again to 3 000 feet, tempting to perform an escape maneuver, but always accompanied by the UFO, which eventually climbed at a supernatural speed. I did not believe my eyes and I was very anxious, as were my fellow crew members " added Polanco who stated that " the UFO was not moving in accordance with known laws of nature and physics ".

"When the lights came back, I initiated again the final decent. The UFO then disappeared at very high speed towards CERRO OTTO (a local mountain) ", concluded the pilot, who admitted he stayed " five minutes in the pilot cabin feeling sick once on the ground ".

I explained in detail before and as noted, plasma played no role in any of the UFO case files in question, and was not evident in the data since the object was found to be an intelligently controlled craft, hence, the irrevelance of plasma.

I might add that UFO debunker, Phil Klass, also brought up the phenomenon years ago, and the fact that he wasn't taken serious then for obvious reasons since plasma didn't fit in with the UFO case files in question, which, was evident and that was yet another clue because those case files remain unexplained to this very day and that is a hint that has been screaming out for years.

What it is, is that some skeptics are too involved in trying to find ways to debunk that, which is already history, that they can't bring it upon themselves to fact the facts.

Yes, because they are all part of the overall puzzle.

As Truman said, given that they (UFOs) exist, they are not ours. Since then, it has already been proven they do exist, but then again, the Air Force said that back in 1948 and reiterated that fact in a report in 1952.

Hazzard,

You totally missed the point! Based on the interviews, (pilot, Colonel and the professor) and eyewitness accounts, I wanted you to prove that based on the facts, that plasma was not responsible for that incident.

Now, are you up to the task or do I have to reiterated my claim that some skeptics don't do homework, and if they did, don't do it properly. Are you going to confirm my claim as factual in your case?


You and I both know that you are not going to agree with anyone here, unless they support your claim of ET. As far as providing evidence of alien visitors your asking the wrong guy... Im in no way going to do that for you, I cant, I havent found any.

Badeskov was simply showing us that there are other possible explanations, like plasma, out there, then the ETH, like I was with the "it could be time traveling terrestrials"... Im not saying that a specific UFO sighting is either...but I am saying that you cant dismiss them both...

And if there is any doubt, any doubt at all, of the origin of a UFO, well then, all of a sudden, you are not 100% sure it is extraterrestrials.
GUNNARYSEARGENTHARTMAN
I think, that Badeskov, Hazzard and others on this thread are the only ones on this thread that are talking sense! What have you seriously provided skyeagle, apart from fuzzy old documents, that would crumble by a stiff breeze, as well as refutable evidence that you provided such as news reports, eye witness accounts and dodgey government files. I think, that now skyeagle will come up with some strange article, that suggests everything he stands for. His evidence supports his claims and he bends peoples words so that he can make it sound as if he is right. I really am in anticipation at the moment, to see what next piece of rubbish evidence comes on to my computer screen.


Thanks, GUNNARYSEARGENTHARTMAN

Nope! I said that the data didn't depict plasma on the scope and that was clearly evident.

Even a football helmet canl show up on radar, but it doesn't maneuver around and then, trail the aircraft for over 700 miles either, so what is the point? Some encounters lasted for well over an hour, so is it any wonder why highly experienced aircrews blamed ET as the B-52 aircrew after encountering a UFO around the Minot AFB area had done on camera durng their one of their interviews?

1968-Minot Air Force Base, UFO Hovers, Seen by B-52 crew


MINOT AIR FORCE BASE - Project Blue Book case dated October 24, 1968, when missile crews, control personnel and maintenance personnel observed a UFO in the vicinity of the base. The following is the tape between the air controllers and the B-52 crew with call sign JAG Three one.

http://www.ufocasebook.com/minotafbufo1968.html


Minot AFB B-52 Encounter

The Minot control tower diverted a B-52 to investigate. The navigator on the B-52, Capt. Patrick McCaslin, remembers what he saw on the radar screen: "This thing was climbing out with us and maintaining the same heading we were. That was unusual. But what really watered my eyes [was] when this thing backed away and allowed us to turn inside of it."

"Capt. Brad Runyon, the B-52's co-pilot, says he remembers the "overall object was a minimum of 200 feet in diameter and it was hundreds of feet long."

"It had a metallic cylinder attached to another section that was shaped like a crescent moon. I felt that this crescent moon part was probably the command center. I tried to look inside the thing, but all I could see was a yellow glow."

"He says at that point he was fairly sure it was an alien spaceship, and when the crew members returned to base, they reported their sighting."

Ground-based miitary witnesses have confirmed the UFO the B-52 encountered.

Minot Air Force Base, N.D., October 1968 -- Sixteen airmen on the ground and the crew of an airborne B-52 witness a massive unidentified object hovering near the base.

Radar "ghost angels" are sometimes picked up on radar but the radar filters them out and besides, radar controllers can easily identify such phenomena on their scopes as noted by Harry Barnes, senior radar controller, and are just filtered out, so what you are proving to me is, you have no concept of what radar signatures regarding those of natural phenomena and those of solid objects are all about.
