Please clarify what you meant by "lack of data" when we have all of this data from just one encounter involving an Air Force bomber?


Im talking about evidence that will convince the mainstrem scientific community, real evidence. Not the kind that has you and other believers convinced, not the "maybe", "what else could it have been kind" stuff. Im talking about real evidence.

I have read through lots of the testimonies, the USAF reports and many many report by UFOlogists and other believers.

UFOs are by definition unidentified and I believe that each sighting has to be examined on its own merits. I do not believe that there is one common explanation for all UFO sightings. I sometimes even wonder if the real "UFO phenomenon" is UFOlogy itself, what people believe about UFOs and why they need so badly to believe it. It doesnt matter if the whole world believe in aliens, if they are not real.


The difference between a scientist and a pseudoscientist is that the scientist easily or more easily accepts that his theory is wrong when data says so. I have changed my mind about many things in the past, and I most likely will again. One characteristic of pseudoscience is that they wont leave a theory even if it is falsified a thousand times. And that is also the situation in the public. People want to be fooled.

Noone gives a rats a** if Buzz Aldrin saw a piece of the SLA, Spacecraft/LM Adapter, one of 4 panels, on the way to the moon. And why would they, when we can have the Apollo 11 flying side by side with an alien spaceship. People love this kind of "what if".

People want to be fooled.

I see that you continued to ignore that science has been involved in scientific investigations and there are lots of references to UFOs in scientific journals and literature.

In fact, the scientific study of the Colorrado Study couldn't even explain up to 1/3 of its case files terrestrially.

"TURKEY UFOS ARE REAL CRAFT" SCIENCE CONCLUDES

Why does everyone have to keep quiet and pretend this is not happening? Is it because some intellectually lazy scientists claim nothing’s happening? Too many Americans listen to mainstream scientists’ explanations like scripture, without even letting the most basic question form in their minds.

Are mainstream scientists our new gods or something? Maybe they’re our new inquisitors.

The Turkish UFO videos are the latest proof that need to support the UFO witnesses who bring us this great information. In the public domain is where you will find the answer to government cover-ups. vidence is stacking up, the quantity and quality of images and reports are overwhelming and it is all coming from the regular people.

HOW SCIENTISTS TRACKED A FLYING SAUCER
by Commander Robert B. McLaughlin, USN

In its January issue TRUE said that the flying saucers are real and interplanetary. Its story was widely supported by the nation's press and radio. TRUE's findings are here confirmed by Commander McLaughlin, a rocket expert at White Sands Proving Ground, who worked independently of this magazine's investigation. He reveals how a troup of Navy men and scientists tracked a flying disk with a precision instrument and tells of flights he and others witnessed.

I can definitely say that the Brazilian Air Force didn't conclude that this incident was caused by a bunch of B-747s, which was also released.

QUOTE
The third case was the “The Official Night of UFOs in Brazil”, a very significative group of events that happened in May 1986, when 21 objects of over 100 m in diameter jammed Brazilian air traffic control system over Rio de Janeiro, Sao Jose dos Campos and Sao Paulo, mainly, and several jets were sent to intercept – without any success – the intruders.

The difference between a scientist and a pseudoscientist is that the scientist easily or more easily accepts that his theory is wrong when data says so.


And, there are lot's of data that proves the objects are real and intelligently controlled, and the specifics of the performance charateristics as documented from reliable sources, prove that they are not our aircraft.

QUOTE

"The discs use a means of propulsion different from ours. There is no other possible explanation. Flying saucers come from another world."

-Louis Breguet, French aircraft designer and manufacturer.


"What I found [in doing research for the book Project Delta] was compelling evidence to claim that most of these aerial objects far exceeded the terrestrial technology of the era in which they were seen. I was forced to conclude that there is a great likelihood that Earth is being visited by highly advanced aerospace vehicles under highly 'intelligent' control indeed."

-Dr. Richard F. Haines, retired NASA senior research scientist at Ames Research Center and the Research Institute for Advanced Computer Science where he worked on the International Space Station.--From the preface of his book, CE-5, 1998.



"Many professional astronomers are convinced that saucers are interplanetary machines."

-Dr. Frank Halstead of the Darling Observatory, Minnesota--1957



The matter is the most highly classified subject in the United States Government, rating higher even than the H-bomb. Flying saucers exist. Their modus operandi is unknown but concentrated effort is being made by a small group headed by Dr. Vannevar Bush." --From a declssified Canadian government memorandum dated Nov. 21, 1950.

"...it soon became apparent that there was a very real and quite large gap between this alien science and the science in which I had been trained. Certain crucial experiments were suggested and carried out, and in each case the results confirmed the validity of the alien science. Beyond this point the alien science just seemed to be incomprehensible." --In a speech concerning experiments allegedly suggested by EBEs (Extraterrestrial Biological Entities); March 31, 1958


Dr. J. Allen Hynek, former Chairman of the Dept. of Astronomy at North Western University and scientific advisor to Project Bluebook from 1952-1969

"When I first got involved in this field, I was particularly skeptical of people who said they had seen UFOs on several occasions and totally incredulous about those who claimed to have been taken aboard one. But I've had to change my mind." --1972

"It reminds me of tthe days of Galileo when he was trying to get people to look at the sun spots. They would say that the sun is a symbol of God; God is perfect; therefore the sun is perfect; therefore spots cannot exist: therefore there is no point in looking." --Hynek in Newsweek, Nov. 21, 1977, p. 97



Dr. Herman Oberth, the father of modern rocketry

"UFOs are conceived and directed by intelligent beings of a very high order, and they are propelled by distorting the gravitational field, converting gravity into useable energy. There is no doubt in my mind that these objects are interplanetary craft of some sort. I and my colleagues are confident that they do not originate in our solar system, but we feel that they may use Mars or some other body as sort of a way station. They probably do not originate in our solar system, perhaps not even in our galaxy." --This comment was apparently made sometime in 1954, I don't know the source, but it seems consistent with the following quote from The American Weekly of Oct. 24, 1954: "It is my thesis that flying saucers are real and that they are space ships from another solar system."
"We cannot take the credit for our record advancement in certain scientific fields alone. We have been helped." [reporter asks "By who?"] "The people of other worlds." --From a statement to a group of reporters after his retirement in 1960.


"I am completely convinced that [UFOs] have an out-of-world basis."

-Dr. Walther Riedel, research director and chief designer at Germany's rocket center in Peenemunde, also worked on classified projects for the U.S. after WW2. From LIFE Magazine, April 7, 1952.





And, what Charles Moore had said before the Air Force tapped him on the shoulder.


QUOTE

"Based on the descriptions, I can definitely rule this out. There wasn't a balloon in 1947 or today that could account for this incident."
-C. B. Moore, General Mills Meteorologist and expert on weather balloons, when asked whether he believed the Roswell Incident could be explained by a Mogul balloon.



Since then, it has been determined that no Project Mogul balloon was responsible for the Roswell incident.

QUOTE
Nope, because some of the scientific reports were of saucer-shaped crafts outside the atmosphere.


Hmm... I wonder, is the space shuttle considered an aircraft? NEvertheless, I suppose this is just arguing semantics.

QUOTE
And remember, the specifics of the performance characteristic excluded aircraft.


Performance characteristics have no bearing on the definition of an aircraft.

QUOTE
Is it any wonder why they have stated that the crafts they encountered were those of ET???


No, its of wonder why non have evidence.

QUOTE
So now, you telling the highly experienced experts and with many years of experience I might add, that they don't know what they are talking about. There's this thing I have with armchair experts with no experience telling highly experienced experts they don't know what they are talking about.


Nope, not at all, I'm teling you everyone and anyone can have an opinion. These "experts" do not have the necessary information to say that the craft belong to ET, they can only state their opinions.

QUOTE
The data I posted was not indicative of plasma.


What about it was not indicative of plasma?

QUOTE
And, they can exclude plasma since the crafts they were describing were of artificial flying objects, in some cases, with rotating beacons and evenly-spaced portholes, and not anything to do with plasma and a case in point, those incidents remain unexplained terrestrially speaking to this very day by that very fact, which means that plasma is not taken seriously by the experts even today, in regards to those incidents in question since artificial machines that maneuvered around their aircraft, were described by those involved.


Perhaps... or they saw what looked "like" portholes. We know that plasma can create what looks like an organized structure, and these portholes, we dont know to what degree of accuracy these "evenly spaced portholes" were seen. With all the adrenaline and excitement of seeing such a craft hovering right beside you... Its kind of hard to debate this unless you show articles relating to the particular case. Maybe they did see portholes... but that doesnt prove aliens.

But in any case, assuming its not plasma, you still have yet to prove that its alien craft. Once again, I propose that human time travelers are also a possibility, equal to the ET possibility.

QUOTE
Besides, some of the cases reported took place outside the atmosphere. So much for the plasma theory, which is now considered the "new swamp gas" thing.


Some of the UFOs, which people saw "portholes" on, took place outside the atmosphere? Do you realise that the thermopshere extends to 690km above the Earth?

QUOTE
Nope! It was determined that the objects were those of maneuvering objects under intelligent control.

That is why that case remains unexplained terrestrially speaking, to this very day.


What exactly indicated that it is under intelligent control?

QUOTE
In the case of the UFO case files in question; unexplained in terrestrial terms.


No, "unexplained".

QUOTE
Ok fact is all these reports, sightings, radar signatures and documents from the goverment can not conclude it WAS plasma.


You're right... and that's why I havent seen anyone here claim it was plasma. We've been saying it *could be* plasma.

No, its of wonder why non have evidence.

Taking your logic into consideation, it is an opinion that the Sun exist.

You will find that scientist and engineers were documenting observations and trackings of flying saucers in their reports outside the atmosphere in addition to those within our atmosphere.

C. B. Moore was interviewed by William Moore and Charles Berlitz for their book "The Roswell Incident" in which he was asked if the debris could have been that of a Mogul balloon. To which he replied, "Based on the descriptions, I can definitely rule this out. There wasn't a balloon in 1947 or today that could account for this incident."

And since then, it has been determined that no Project Mogul balloon was involved after all, which also confirms Congressman Steven Schiff's statement that no balloon was responsible for the Roswell incident.

All it would take is for the political leaders and the political media to pay attention. And yes, they have been invited, too.



Paul
Hellyer - Keynote (short) (Canada)

In early September 2005, Hellyer made international headlines by publicly announcing that he believed some UFOs were of extraterrestrial origin. On 25 September 2005, he was an invited speaker at an exopolitics conference in Toronto, where he told the audience that he had seen a UFO one night with his late wife and some friends. He said that though he discounted the experience at the time, he had kept an open mind to it. He said that he started taking the issue much more seriously after watching ABC News' "Peter Jennings Reports UFOs: Seeing is Believing" special in February 2005.

In 2007, the Ottawa Citizen reported that Hellyer is demanding that world governments disclose alien technology that could be used to solve the problem of climate change. "I would like to see what (alien) technology there might be that could eliminate the burning of fossil fuels within a generation ... that could be a way to save our planet," Hellyer told the paper. He also said that "We need to persuade governments to come clean on what they know. Some of us suspect they know quite a lot, and it might be enough to save our planet if applied quickly enough,"

MEMORANDUM TO THE CONTROLLER OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS:

I made discreet enquiries through the Canadian Embassy staff in Washington who were able to obtain for me the following information:

a. The matter is the most highly classified subject in the United States Government, rating higher even than the H-bomb.

b. Flying saucers exist.

c. Their modus operandi is unknown but concentrated effort is being made by a small group headed by Doctor Vannevar Bush.

d. The entire matter is considered by the United States authorities to be of tremendous significance

UFOs are by definition unidentified and I believe that each sighting has to be examined on its own merits. I do not believe that there is one common explanation for all UFO sightings.


Neither do I.....there's a thread here...where someone's saying they're going to send a balloon thing up
to see what response there is. rolleyes.gif This balloon will be a UFO to a lot of people.
But, as Skyeagle has gone to trouble of showing.....some/many UFOs seem to have a non-terrestrial
character.


QUOTE
I sometimes even wonder if the real "UFO phenomenon" is UFOlogy itself, what people believe about UFOs and why they need so badly to believe it.


I don't see why anyone would 'need so badly' to believe it. I, personally, have for many years have
entertained the strong possibilty of ET involvement in ancient human history. I've had a few dreams
involving ETs and ET craft.....although I haven't actually seen anything in 'reality'.....that I could say...
whooooa THAT was an unexplained UFO.

But I don't 'need so badly' to believe in ET related UFOs in the here and now. But I have stumbled upon
information about it all recently that has made me sit up and pay attention. And I have found the
information convincing enough to make a judgement on the matter....and conclude that....much to my
amazement ETs are almost certainly real ( I've gone to around a 95% belief....leaving a 5% doubt
because I haven't had first-hand physical experience)

I've gone half a century without any 'need' to believe......so I think your point about this general bad need
to believe is broadly incorrect. A small % of young people might get into the BUZZ of it all and get a bit carried
away SOMETIMES....but that's all.

More likely...it's the other way round....one's world view has to change and shift when confronted with
extraordinary information......as presented by the Disclosure Project....and related stuff.
Perhaps some people badly need to hold onto the view that they have of the world....and literally
cannot accept something that shatters that world view.

Look what you wrote. Based on the descriptions.... it wasn't a balloon. That doesn't mean it wasn't actually a balloon, does it? Just that the descriptions rule it out. But suppose the descriptions aren't accurate.

The bigger picture is what is missed by those who absorb unsubstantiated UFO/Alien material and deny science as their method of investigation.

The real history of our world, our planet, and our universe is a continuing study, a great deal of which has already been scientifically documented.

As to no one changing my mind, or anyone else who adheres generally to the scientific method, that is an erroneous assumption.

Science is self correcting.

If someone proves that ETs are, or have been here, then they will have my support.

To this day, no one has done so. Sure, weird things goes on all the time, in the sea, on land and in the sky...Events yes, but never, EVER, has evidence been used to prove beyond all other possible explanations that there are alien spaceships on Earth. When it comes to extraterrestrial visitors in the 21st century, the evidence is still anecdotal, ambiguous, or, in some cases, artifice.

It is not impossible that we could be visited. It doesnt violate physics to travel between the stars. We are doing it right now, voyager 1 and 2. Slowly compared to any possible hight tec aliens out there, yes, but we are doing it.

But really, if youre going to claim, that extraterrestrials are buzzing our cities, or occasionally assaulting the neighbors with an aggression inappropriate for a first date, then I urge you to find evidence that leaves little doubt among the professionally skeptical community known as the world of science. The "It cant have been invented here" speculation by eyewitnesses is not hard evidence. Far from it.

UFO studies will continue until all the old cases have either been explained or admitted to being unexplainable, and unexplainable, as most of us knows, no matter how impressive the sighting is to the eyewitnesses or how graphic the stories, its still not evidence of extraterrestrials on Earth.

Without the so called "smoking gun" type of evidence the ETH,extraterrestrial hypothesis, will remain only a speculative hypothesis. The ETH could very well be correct...we just need some solid evidence, something beyond radar hits and anecdotes, before we can say for sure that some UFOs are ET space craft.

I would respectfully disagree, although I cannot claim to have an advanced degree in psychology or the like, thus it is my own uneducated opinion on Hazzard's state of mind if such an event should happen to occur to him wink2.gif

I think Hazzard knows enough about what constitutes scientific evidence, so I seriously doubt he would walk out on a limb and start posting outdated and irrelevant reports in an effort to convince others. Rather, I think Hazzard would be honest enough to state up front that he has no evidence whatsoever for what he saw, but still describe in detail what he saw.

I don't see him as a person with an inner urge to try and convince others by all means necessary, rather, I think he would be sifting through as much scientific material that he possibly could to correlate what he saw (and in the same breath send his morning coffee and breakfast to detailed analysis for possible hallucinogen contamination wink2.gif).

ABSTRACT

For nearly 40 [more than 50] years, the science establishment has ignored the UFO problem, relegating it to the domain of "true believers and mental imcompetents" (a.k.a. "kooks and nuts" [according to the former editor of Applied Optics magazine]). Scientists have participated in a "self-cover-up" by refusing to look at the credible and well reported data.

Science and the Failure To Investigate Unidentified Aerial Phenomena

by

Leslie Kean

Despite intense public interest, there has been no independent, federally financed scientific research conducted on these phenomena since the flawed and biased 1969 Condon report.

http://www.freedomofinfo.org/science/science_research.pdf



That pretty much sums it up as far as where the mindset of mainstream science has been all of these years, but that is currently changing with announcements that more scientist have decided to jump in on UFO investigations and for whom are those scientist going to rely on?

The same folks who have been saying all along that the UFOs they have encountered were those of ET.

The Limits of Science
in UFO Research

by Richard M. Dolan




The Condon Committee Report, for instance. This was supposed to be the ultimate scientific analysis of UFOs. It was supposed to be detached, objective, academic – in short, the approach of the Condon Committee epitomized then, and continues to epitomize today, a peer reviewed, academic, scientific approach to understanding UFOs. And just how well did it do its job? Well, if you read through the report, you find a very spotty document. There are some good individual analyses, quite a few conclusions that don’t match the data, a lot of good cases that should have been analyzed and weren’t; many cases that were poor bets to begin with, as far as obtaining useful scientific data, and of course you find a director of the project who knew nothing about the topic, didn’t want to know anything about it, could never take it seriously, and who was bent from the beginning on a negative conclusion.

And yet, the Condon Committee Report was reviewed by the American Academy of Sciences and approved. Rather hastily. The entire process of generating this report, along with its conclusion, was deeply, deeply flawed. But it went through all the formal channels necessary to give the sanction of official science.

"At this time, the reports of incidents convince us that there is something going on that must have immediate attention.... Sightings of unexplained objects at great altitudes and traveling at high speeds in the vicinity of major U.S. defense installations are of such nature that they are not attributable to natural phenomena or known types of aerial vehicles."

Statement Made By Howard E. Goldfluss,
Acting Justice, Supreme Court, State of New York,

Source: OMNI June 1987

I was as skeptical as the next fellow about unidentified flying objects. My legal training required evidence to prove the existence of UFOs. None was forthcoming, except for the typical tabloid headlines (I was sexually assaulted by a Martian) found at supermarket checkout counters. But what was laughable has now become serious.

Solid evidence does exist to erase the skepticism. Before this evidence emerged, I believed the Air Force, the Central Intelligence Agency, and every other government agency that insisted UFOs were a myth. I would have continued to accept this government pronouncement forever had it not been for the passage of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Congress enacted this law because it felt that the government as keeping too many facts from public inspection. This concern was certainly justified.

Thanks to the FOIA, we now know that Uncle Sam has been sitting on evidence that UFOs do exist and that very substantial people have seen them. The most revealing information is found in Air Intelligence Division Study (A.I.D.S.) 203.

So in conclusion, they're basically telling us here they're convinced of their own uncertainties. (?)

Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), it has now been revealed that a flying saucer had landed and took off at Kirtland AFB, setting off alerts and resulting in radar jamming to military and civilian radar and backup systems.

The objects were classified as UAOs because they were shown to be "aerial machines" and the incidents were hidden away from public view until revealed under the FOIA.

In addition, and thanks to the FOIA, Project Aquarius has now been confirmed.

What is all means is that we are slowly heading down the road to full disclosure on ET reality, and my prediction is 15 years or less.

Have you ever seen one jot of proof that any of whats been sighted, reported, filmed, or photographed has ever, in any way, been shown to be alien. I do not deny that some things might be alien. Im all for that. What I do deny is that there has been any proof of it.

You see, I do not deal in belief. I deal in knowledge. There is a vast difference between the two. You may believe all you want to. But knowledge requires a higher standard than that which propels belief.

There is no reason to get upset about it. What needs to be understood is the burden of proof that science and its method requires.

As believers begin to build the case about UFO = Aliens, the foundation of this is built on hear say, speculations, theories, guess work, assumptions, beliefs and emotions.

But there are no real scientific evidence or Facts.Until we can prove 100% that these are not earth based ships - we are guessing. So, what it all comes down to is EVIDENCE..!!!

While Professor Moore has been derided by the pro-UFO community for now changing his mind, the allegation is unfounded because Moore has done no such thing. When Professor Moore was being interviewed by Bill Moore, he was answering questions about gouges in the earth, and was asked whether or not a balloon could have made a 500-foot gouge as has been claimed by some Roswell witnesses. If Bill Moore had asked Professor Moore about Mogul, or had shown him J. Bond Johnson's photographs taken in Ramey's office, the whole Roswell myth might have been stopped right there.

Of course it couldn't have been a Mogul balloon flight on June 4, 1947 because the record shows it was cancelled and once again, why there are not flight records for that particular flight and Charles Moore would have known that that flight was cancelled.

Charles Moore knew that a Project Mogul flight was cancelled on June 4, 1947 as recorded in the record book, and that is why there were no flight records for any Project Mogul balloon flight #4 because the Mogul balloon story was made up in the first place just as the weather balloon story and the false explanations in the Air Force's 1997 Roswell report.

It wouldn't have been "dropped right there" and the proof is in the fact that there were no such thing as Project Mogul balloon flight #4 as Charles Moore falsely states and you can find that fact right in the original records of Project Mogul records kept by A. P. Crary. And, there are no flight records of any Project Mogul balloon flight on June 4, 1047 because according to the Project Mogul records, the balloon flight was cancelled on June 4, 1947 because of clouds as was the case on June 3 for the same reason. That in keeping with the stipulation with the CAA that no Mogul balloons be launched on cloudy days due to hazards to air traffic.

In addition, that rawin device in Ramey's officer belongs to a weather balloon and those who posed with the rawin device have stated that it was placed there for the purpose of a cover-up and was not recovered on the Foster ranch.

So you see, debunking attempts don't work here since you were unaware of the rest of the story.

Please post exactly what Kal K. Korff's position was as to what he thought was responsible for the Roswell incident.


BTW, were you aware that Charles Moore filed a UFO report over the area?

QUOTE


April 24, 1949

3 miles N of Arrey, N.M. [50 miles west of White Sands] , 10:30 a.m.

[Project Blue Book unknown]


--General Mills/Mogul balloon expert Charles B. Moore, while tracking a test balloon with a theodolite, made important UFO sighting with 4 Navy technicians, (Akers, Davidson, Fitzsimmons, Moorman). After tracking it across the sky, the whitish-silver, elliptical object, roughly 100 by 40 feet, disappeared in a sharp climb, calculated at 18,000 to 25,000 mph [5-7 miles/sec] , at an altitude estimated at 60 miles.

At one point the UFO climbed about 25 miles in only 10 sec [or about 80 G's acceleration!!]. The object left no trail and was observed for about 1 minute. Moore still believes it was not a conventional object. In 1986, responding to a question posed to him about Dr. Donald Menzel's debunking of the sighting as a mirage of their own balloon, Moore wrote, "What I saw was not a mirage; it was a craft with highly unusual performance.

It was not a balloon; at the time we were the innovators and manufacturers of the new balloons and I certainly would have known about any new developments as I was newly in charge of General Mill's Balloon operations. It was not the X-1 that was in its hangar at Muroc [Edwards AFB, California] that Sunday. It was nothing from White Sands nor from Alamogordo. ...We were in contact with Range Control and were informed our operation was the only one active on Sunday. For these reasons I am cynical about Dr. Menzel and his approach to science." According to Dr. Allen Hynek, Moore also told him he was "disgusted" with the Air Force for its lack of attention to the sighting.



What was NOT recovered on the Foster ranch nor eviident in the photos taken inside Ramey's office.

I start with the premise that astronomy has revealed the enormous distances within the Galaxy. No spaceship is going to traverse that and have it's crew survive. Something able to go the distance is not going to be a mere spaceship, a flying saucer or any larger version of that idea. It is like trying to revive the roman gods. I refuse to just accept the idea that whatever we conjure up, and that has some traction with popular acceptance, flies.

Whatever happened at Roswell, N.M., of which I actually know very little, seems to brew a lot of speculation and debate. Of course, access to any relevant records would settle the issue. What if what actually happened would be a slight embarassment to those involved, their families, and the USG. What if it was something of normal activity, in the course of carrying out their duties, that relates to an accident of sorts. An accident involving some level of national security activities.

Perhaps there are a few such events all over the world, which are held close to the chest forever, as long as there are competing elements along international lines. I really don't care what happened that day. But, some would use it to stir the pot.

Again, with all of the build up in popular media throughout the early twentieth century, dealing with science fiction, it's no wonder the government would seize upon some lame excuse, in haste. Then, they decided to retract it, instead of looking like fools.

The story has gotten more spin than a child's toy top.

Here's a link to a good video on the subject. It's in 5 parts and about an hour long, but worth it, as it contains numerous witnesses and testimony:

Thanks for that....just watched it....all of it. It was VERY good.

It was interesting to see Clifford Stone and Robert Dean as younger men....as I've recently
watched interviews with them.....on this site.......PROJECT CAMELOT

You can tell that the people in the Roswell link above (top)....are not lying.

We have to educate ourselves and share information about this matter....because, God knows....no-one
is going to do it for us.....and it is of immense importance..........

Anyone on here old enough to remember this?>www.rense.com/ufo/battleofla.htm (Battle of L.A.)

Remember old chinese proverb: "Man with head in the clouds looking for UFO's sees very little" : )

I remember my dad was out there when that happened and told of the papers were describeing it as a Jap invasion on the west coast,like the many paper a radio reports th enext day.Must of been plasma eah? LoL DONTEATUS alien.gif

So it seems. But skyeagles favorite "evidence", if real, isnt as good as we all would like it to be. He, as most believers are only looking for the "evidence" that supports their claim.

Radar evidence only tells us that there is indeed "something" up there. Radar evidence can not tell us that the UFO is definitively an ET space ship verses some type of other unknown phenomenon.

In the scientific method one must prove not only what something isnt, ie, the UFO isnt terrestrial air craft, one must also definitively/irrefutably demonstrate what the something in question is as well. There has to be direct irrefutable evidence that any UFO seen on radar is indeed alien technology, at the exclusion of any and all other possible explanations.

The laws of physics clearly shows that many UFOs can indeed be explained by naturally occurring phenomena. Having that said, there are the cases left that remain unexplained. But that is in no way evidence that these are ET.

Even with different approaches to the subject of alien life, one is still left with the issue of definitive evidence when it comes the idea of alien visitation to Earth. Just because its possible that advanced aliens are somewhere "out there", and I agree that they very likely are, that alone does not equal the definitive evidence we need to say that alien visitation is indeed a reality.

Basically, just because something is possible doesnt mean it is a reality.

The probabillity for exraterrestrial life, intelligent or not, in the galaxy is strong. This is nothing I would leave to faith however, I need proof.... a bacteria on Mars would do just fine.

But I need skeptical science to show me before believing it.

How can you tell?

Also, perhaps they really do believe what they are saying, but it's a memory that's been influenced in some manner? When it comes to the 'psychology of belief' it's very difficult to know for sure what someone experienced in objective reality.

I CAN tell......by using observation, instinct and feeling.

The only thing that could make what they say untrue is if they were conned by props and actors...
but in the general context of the whole thing this would make no sense.
Or if they had been messed about with, regarding 'false memory' or some kind of hypnotism...but
again...in the context of the whole thing this would make no sense.

So...I conclude that, as I judge them to be telling the truth....the chances are EXTREMELY high
that they saw and experienced what they say they did.

This is where personel judgement comes into it. Judging what value the information has.
We all use personel judgement on what information to accept or reject....or put on hold.

Instinct and gut-feeling works most of the time, but it can be in the way when one has to look at the "evidence" objectivly. I have said this before and Ill say it again, alot of people have claimed to see odd craft in the skies. I think its safe to say that these witnesses have seen something. But just because you dont recognize an aerial phenomenon doesnt mean that its an extraterrestrial visitor. That requires additional evidence.

To be taken serious, you need physical evidence that can be examined at leisure by skeptical scientists.

The problem with just sighting a UFO is that you dont know if the pilot of the mentioned strange looking craft is an alien, or simply a human testing out the latest black operations technology. All one can be sure of is that they saw, what appeared to them to be, some strange looking air craft doing "impossible flying". Thats really all one can logically conclude from just sighting a UFO, no contact with the occupants.

Is it possible to be 'objective' ? (philosophically speaking) People like to think that they are...but
are they really? As we are all human, not robots, can an element of subjectivity ever be taken out of the equation?
Levels of belief and acceptance of the 'unknown' probably come into play, somewhere.

Take for example...the man speaking on the Roswell link posted earlier...the one who told the
story of looking at the bodies of the dead ETs.....now he knows what he saw...but maybe even
his first-hand witnessing has an element of subjectivity....a lesser person might have fainted, or
cracked up...or ran away...refusing to believe what they saw....then gone on medication because
it was all to much?


QUOTE

Well, as I've said before...if the physical evidence is being deliberately with-held...this is going to be
nigh on impossible.

But say....you personally were shown what you were told was part of an ET craft...to touch and hold.
You would have to make a judgement on whether to believe it was what you were told it was.
If you actually saw a UFO crash...went up to it and saw ET occupants come out....you would have
to make a judgement about whether you were hallucinating, or had gone nuts or were dreaming...
or weren't looking at a high-tech hologram etc etc

Taking subjectivity out of the equation is VERY hard....so as we aren't the 'insiders' working on an
ET related project....we just have to do the best we can under the circumstances. Ie...all we can
realistically do is examine the circumstancial evidence and evaluate it. And I do believe that gut
reaction and instinct can aid the process.

I have lot's and lot's of favorite evidence that are backed by evidence and documentation, and the skeptiics can do nothing to debunk successfully, After all, they still remain unexplained terrestrially speaking to this very day.

Goes to show how much you DON'T know about radar technology and example is; military and civilian radar experts have already determined that the objects captured on radar were artificial intelligently controlled crafts as noted in their reports and that the specifics of their maneuvering capabilities excluded aircraft.

As you just saw, it doesn't take much to debunk a debunker's claims.

The skeptics tend to rewrite the laws of physics to make UFOs what they are not. Ever wondered why those case files did not list any cause by natural phenomena after scientific investigations? They were describing intelligently controlled flying machines. Clue!!! yes.gif

We heard it before, Hazzard, and as usual, it is the closed-minded skeptic that comes out with the short end of the stick.

Question:

Were these objects that created a serious situation for a B-747, ours or theirs?

Or this:

QUOTE


One case from the AIRCAT files involved a pilot - call him Captain Gray - who had logged more than 21,000 hours in a 31-year career. On July 4, 1981, he was piloting a passenger flight in a Lockheed L-1011 Tristar, cruising on automatic pilot at 37,000 feet. The flight was bound from San Francisco to New York's Kennedy Airport, approaching the eastern shore of Lake Michigan.

The lake below was obscured by clouds, but ahead and above the sky was clear. Suddenly, from ahead and to the left of the aircraft, a silvery disk "splashed into view full size...like the atmosphere opened up," Gray said later. He leaned forward, blurting out, "What's that?" Appearing at first like a sombrero viewed from the top, the object rolled as it approached the airplane along an arc that carried it toward and then abruptly away from the L-1011. From the side, the disk appeared ten times wider than it was thick, with six evenly spaced, jet black portholes along its edge.

A bright splash of sunlight flared off the top left end of the object. As it disappeared, seemingly in a shallow climb, Gray noticed what looked like the dark smudge of a contrail. "Did you just see anything?" Gray asked his first officer. "Yes," he replied, "a very bright light flash." The flight engineer, his view blocked, had seen nothing.

The overriding question for ufologists is whether a sighting like Captain Gray's is a natural phenomenon or an object that displays evidence of intelligence. "As a scientist I have to be cautious," says Haines. "But when AIRCAT is made public, I think the technical-minded can read between the lines."

"Reading between the lines."
