I am stumped, i'm not jumping to conclusions but i'm not ruling out UFO's either, tonight (oct. 21 2004) me and a friend were driving on the outskirts of a small town named inman (pop. roughly 1300) to go to a friends house and play poker when i looked up from the road and saw this really bright light that i just thought to be a street light down the road or something, I told my friend to look and then this big thing appeared in the sky. my best description was a series of lights with the biggest at the top in a diagonal curve moving upward. another friend pulled up beside us and yelled if we saw it and we said yes, my friend jumped into the others truck and i parked, went inside and yelled for the others but only 3 came, by that time it was gone except the really bright light. the hopped in the truck with the first 2 friends and we went a ways down the road until we got to a dirt road heading towards the bright light. then the big one appeard again and it stayed for awhile. on closer look we decided it looked like the small lights were almost on fire. It honestly looked like a bright red comet with a spotted tail moving upward like so \. none of us had ever seen nething like it, it was too high to be some sort of firework and comets usually move downward, not upward. any thoughts could be helpful, having trouble sleeping.

When my husband and I first moved into our flat-I pointed out what appearred to be a bright star. I told my neighbour to keep watching it. It came towards us then as I moved into the garden it followed me then went in the direction of the football grounds. My neighbour was puzzled and frightened.

I have gotten use to seeing these things over the years. The only one that actually worried me was one that my husband and I saw togethor. We had gone into the country and there was this big blue orb moving down in a 90 degree descent. There was just something about it that didn't feel like the others in the past. I told my husband that we needed to leave the area. I wish I had photographed that one and then you could see what I mean.

Being 41 now; I now accept them as part of my life and the universe. The blue orb had been photographed decades ago, accept in a horizontal angle of descent. I found it in an article, in a book. I will find the article and download it later, when I get the chance.

I never lost any sleep over it; but my husband did. It was the first one that he had ever seen. I think it unnerved me; because it looked like it was going to crash. Haven't seen one like it since; except when I came across the story.

They have been with mankind since the dawn of time; The ones that are around me I refer to as 'Guardians'. I have stated that the numbers are going to increase globally. Before any major landings and sightings-they are preparing us for the next event. They are making us use to the idea of their prescence.

People keep demanding proof-soon they will get it. I can't give exact time or date. Just keep watching the skies. They have been watching, too. Our radio and tv transmissions are picked up-granted on a lower frequency. Some are very cautious; as they know we react to fear at what we don't understand.

There is in fact, many races, that have visited Earth. They see how we treat each other and this planet. Try and photograph them; some put out a large electromagnetic discharge that can affect some cameras and videos; particularly if they are really close. It is to do with the polarity. The cameras emit a small discharge that can be knocked out depending on the type of ufo.

You are quite right though-they are not a plane, comet, or firework. My advice, just keep your head and try and photograph it.

I know it is easier said than done; but just remember that we are not far removed from them and that they are our universal brothers and sisters. However, they will not interfere, just observe for now. So try not to worry. It isn't time yet for a major landing. Right now, they are only contacting a selected few, who are ready. They are concerned about the fact that the human race hasn't evolved spiritually, and emotionally (still warlike and hostile), but have advanced technologically.

They are quite right to be concerned about us destroying their homes; because mankind is destructive, not creative. Besides they don't pollute our world, or intentionally cause us harm. Granted there are cattle mutalilations( related to greys), and there are only two reports of people having died as a result of contact. One was from shock; and the other was already dead, but material used for analysis.

We are too busy destroying our planet and each other; however, it is a concern for them. I lose more sleep with what we are doing to each other and this planet than any of their visitations. The ones that I have become accustomed to are less of a threat to me than we are to each other.

I have had the experience of being threatened to be killed and burned out of my own home by other people. At no time have they threatened me, or severly harmed me. The most traumatic was when they took my ova-but that was before I came to understand.

Too be honest, I feel safer with them than I do here on this planet. The human race is more of a threat to itself, the planet, and the universe than any of them will ever be to us.

you sound like you know what your talking about, but are you saying you are in direct contact and have actually met with extraterrestrials face to face?

Sounds like dmcduckduck has faced the issue millions of other people have. Welcome. So many people have seen UFO's and either been disturbed or curious, you are one of the many - so don't feel left out.
