Jim Moroney doesn't talk about his "experience" when he gives lectures on health and safety. Heck, he didn't even tell his own kids about it until they were in their late teens. Then again, discussing an alien encounter - or worse, being abducted - doesn't generally make for great small talk. "In some ways you feel like you are an Eskimo trying to explain what a desert is like," said Moroney, executive director of the Alberta Municipal Health and Safety Association and an expert on alien abductions. "Most people have a feeling of isolation. When you look at some of the psychology work that has been done, the biggest thing is that our society really doesn't accept these (encounters) can be possible. "These people really don't want to talk to anyone about it in most cases - even a therapist." Moroney, one of three speakers at a UFO conference being held at the University of Alberta on Saturday, said his own experience happened about 20 years ago just south of Winnipeg. "I was just getting out my (car) to stretch my legs when I saw a craft.

It wasn't from this world, that's for sure," he said. "There wasn't any sound - it just hung motionless. There were lots of bright lights ... It was rather disturbing." The experience turned Moroney into a believer and he now investigates province-wide sightings as a member of the Alberta UFO Study Group. He said he hasn't had a sighting since that day - and has never had the chance to meet any little green men. But his work with a couple of reclusive Albertans who claim to have been abducted in the last few years has convinced him that might not be a bad thing.

when he says "bright lights" the movie E.T kinda flashed in my mind...

I have read a lot of reports that say the visiting aliens are here to help us.
If they are then its wise to keep a low profile. Humans tend to lash out at any attempt to change them, even if it's for the better. I would like to think that someone out there thinks this planets people have some thing worth saving.
Our history shows that we can not act responsibly on our own.
FROM A GUY WHO HAS SEEN TO MUCH VIOLENCE IN HIS LIFE!

If I met ET at my front door I would invite him in for some tea and then send him on his way. I haven't believed in aliens for a quite a while now and probably still won't.

I live by the UofA mabye I will go! lol
I think its entirely possible that aliens are investigating us, I mean why would they make contact, they would be literally 1000s of years ahead of us...mabye millions...we wouldnt make contact with aliens if they were still in the stone age would we? Im sure we would try to learn as much as we could about them without disturbing their development...there is no reason for us to contact them because it would fu<k everything up for them and thats just not nice.

Well you got a point there STIX, but we aren't in the stone age...we are far beyond the stone age, we just aren't as close to space travel like these aliens.

They are smart as are we. But they may have been evolved far earlier than we were, which gave them more time to advance. It only took us a couple hundred years to be as technologically advanced as we are today. It won't be long till some break through discovery launches us into deep space...

I'm not being optomistic, i'm just being logical.

Hmmm, ilive about a 10 min drive from the UofA. I think I might pop by and see wahts going on, this could be interesting. When you goin STIX? Mayby ill see u.

Hey does anybody know what room or building its taking place? I cant seem to find out more about it...........
