Best evidence for ET visitation - 3rd edition

Recommended Posts

It is just a matter of sitting on a certain spot and looking at a tall building from 50 miles away without a mountain in between, which means, the dots in your case have not been connected.

Now, using that photo I supplied of the Chicago skyline, compute the angle above that horizon for a building that is 1400 feet tall from the point where the photo was taken and let's compart your figures with what is depicted in the photo, and then, we can work from there.

We've already done all this in previous calculations. Did you skip through those?

At any rate, at 50 miles 1,652.3ft will be below the Horizon from your view point. The Willis Tower is ~1452 ft tall but Chicago has 580 ft elevation so the Willis Tower is ~2032 ft ASL, then you are seeing about 379.6 ft of the Top of the Willis Tower in that Photo ( a bit more considering the elevation of the Camera).

Only a person with no optical experience whatsoever would make such a flawed rebuttal.

I think you need to review this because I think you missed it the last time around.

And in a big loud vice, come on, I will join in:

THANKS BOON.

"Dropping flares, or anything for that matter, over populated areas or indian reservations is a serious FAA violation and prohibited due to possible injury to civilians, damage to property, and ground fires."

The BGR isn't populated. No FAA violation. Nuff said.

On the contrary, there were no flares dropped at that time, which explains why the Air Force was unable to provide any operational logs for any flare drops at that time, which raised some eyebrowns. Nuh, said.

Taking that into consideration, place a 2000-foot mountain between the camera and the skyline.

Place a Mountain what distance from the Camera?

You had better try to get those flares above 18,000 feet then because those light were definitely not over the BGR, and that further explains why the folks of Phoenix have never seen flares over the BGR before despite the number of years in operation and numerouls flare drops and those lights were not flares anyway and there are a number of indications they were not flares.

Show me the math behind your 18,000 foot figure.

Ok Sky, if you are not going to answer then the only clue to distance from the Camera to the Mountain you gave was "between" so I'll assume 25 miles.

At 25 miles (assuming the Camera is near sea level), 1,586.9 ft of this Mountain extends above the Horizon. That equates to 0.6877 degrees or 3,168.8 ft @ 50 miles. Adding this figure to the 1,652.3 ft calculated in a previous post above we get 4,821.1 ft as a minimum height for an object to be seen 50 miles away and above your hypothetical Mountain 2,000 ft tall above sea level 25 miles away in the Chicago Photo you posted.

No, and you should know better, I can do the same thing with Earthly explinations and often do (right here in UM) - besides my first part of the bit you're refering to was simply, 'I don't know and have never claimed to know all the answers'. Of course, when asked for possible ET explinations, I will rattle some off. This doesn't mean I'm single minded, in fact it seems to be me trying to remind others here to stop making an assumption first and building an explination around the assumption...

:st

I was not pointing specifically at you mate, hence the "we". ;)

But no, I do not think you can do the same to validate possible explanations. The earthly processes are documented to exist, ET is not and relies on imagination completely.

This is just an absolutely ineffective explination for the close-up, metallic (with features) objects which good(credible) witnesses are seeing! Read every case in the waterufo site and you'll see what I mean - your explinations don't fit.

With so many clear sightings which would fit my (and quillious') critereon (see my signature) the question shouldn't even be, 'was there something unusual there or not' but 'what IS that unusual thing?'.

Are we at the same site?

he saw a saucer-shaped silver disk fly by him under water with lights on it,

sighted a huge disc beneath the surface of the water. The object, glowing with a soft, greenish light, paced the ship

Ira Pete, the owner of the Ruby E, said "I hooked into something and pulled the stern off." He said he had no idea what the "something" was.

The crew said the object was either a submarine or a huge whale.

The helmsman of the trawler Silverö told the press that a light appeared just before the collision and then disappeared. It was visible for about ten minutes.

Then he looked ahead and saw a greenish light inside the water. However, this mysterious object disappeared so soon.

he told me that he and his fellow crewmen saw strange shapes of lights from under the sea.

one can see a dark object moving under the water. The object moves at a high speed to the left. But it is impossible to claim that this was a submarine and the matter remains unclear.

I'm not sure exactly what your point here is but I think we're pretty much in agreement here.

As long as you don't discount X because you don't believe in Y and some people say X always happens with Y :P

:tu:

That's true but ultimately irrelevant. If you're going to investigate something, if you want to do it properly, you shouldn't rule out possibilities that haven't been disproven.

I still do not fathom how ET is a possibility.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were some funky military USOs.

As to the other stuff (above), I won't go there, other than just for fun, because we simply don't know and I think it's a mistake to make assumptions...

Or private Enterprise, when one looks at Branson's accomplishments, who knows what private companies are testing.

Doesn't matter what you call it - UFO associated with water... Sucking it up (which has been seen many times) is clearly a function ascribed to a machine, not plasma or weather or algae...

You talk about pop-culture as a reason for the ETH but seem to discount all those witnesses who's FIRST assumptions are always Earthly until several things happen that don't fit the bill! Haven't you read all the accounts where a witness says something like, "I thought it was a helicopter untill....", or "I thought I was looking at a reflection of the moon on the water until....." or a combination, as a normal intelligent person is trying to work out what they are seeing.

You make it sound like everyone who's speculated ET is some silly impressionable twit, when clearly hundreds of them aren't!

You also keep mentioning things like weather, algae, plasma etc but I'm not talking about those kind of sightings! I'm talking about the ones that fit my criterion and they couldn't possibly be those things. They are craft and then the question clearly isn't about perseption or pop culture or meteorlogical phenomenon but 'WHAT ARE THESE WEIRD MACHINES'?

I think it does matter, how is a UFO that flies over a river, or lands on a River Bank a USO? Does USO not stand for Unidentified SUBMERGED Object? I find muddling the distinction very confusing to be honest. Environment will also have a huge impact on the possibility of type of phenomena, duration, and appearance.

Yes, I do think that most people that look at a thing and say ET are indeed ready to jump at a conclusion without bothering themselves with any level of investigation. I honestly feel that 99% of ET sightings are knee jerk reactions.

Ones I have seen where a person describes a water hose going into a machine I might point at Hydrogen prototypes. We have been messing with Hydrogen batteries since the '30's. Probably longer.

Don't feel underestimated, it's not our lack, but their technological advancements that I would blame for our not being able to detect them. I really don't see why it's so hard for you to accept that any being that can get around the FTL problem would have technology that would far surpass ours and hence wouldn't have ANY trouble hiding from us....

Again, I say, I don't know why they are sighted to burst out at beaches, and close to shorelines. I just don't think 'odd behaviour' is a good reason to discount the ET possibility....

As to billions of possibilities - I disagree - to consider ET amongst military secrets, meteorlogical, interdimensional, time travelors etc isn't such a long shot because of the vast amount of sightings etc... Not to forget people like Gilfaer who claim actual contact. It's because of these stories that (until proven false) I have to keep an open mind.

Yes, you have me called there, I do not see how any being can get around FTL, I think that is a pipe dream. Matter remains at a constant in the Universe. E=MC2 gains support as time rolls on. I do not think imagining the impossible is fruitful. To me, one might as well look forward to basking on the surface of the sun naked. Not to be rude but do you have a good understanding of Einsteins theories?

I do not call the breaching at beaches "odd behaviour" I would label it as illogical, which I also feel defies the ideal of an intelligent species.

Inter-dimensional as described by Jacques Vallee is an ideal I do not know enough about to comment on but I do find his theories encouraging and beyond the square. Be he right or wrong, I think this is the sort of thinking that will move an understanding closer.

I know little of Gilafer, in fact had I not visited the Abductee thread out of boredom yesterday I would not know who you are talking about. Again I do not know enough about the character to comment but I am extremely dubious on abduction tales.

Peopl who do give me hope that we may have contact one day are the likes of Stephen Hawking, and their (what I find) More rational approach to a logical sequence of events that one might expect from an intelligent species, and non intelligent species. I bought his latest series Into The Universe last night. Looking forward to viewing that.

No need to apologise!!!

I was probably responding to cases where what is being reported is so obviously a machine, that I didn't want to hear the perception argument again... I'd much rather hear explinations that actually fit, like your rocket (from sub) example, or s secret military project...

Some can, and as you know have been proven to be mistaken identity, but as I've said before, I'm only really interested in cases that fit my criterion. :)

I think then it would be best to single them out, like I said, I find the ideal of any UFO in the vicinity of water being called a USO rather confusing. I get the impression that the site makes a distinction where there is none.

Agreed but please remember it cuts both ways - the crackpots seem to have made you less open-minded than you could be, which is a shame and why I hate crackpots and hoaxers. Look at the amazing amount of energy some of the guys here have put into showing an earthly explination for certain incidents (example the flares arguement going on atm in the 'Best Evidence' thread).... Now imagine that ammount of energy and attention to detail etc going into objective investigation. (I'm not saying it doesn't, just saying, we should never allow crackpottery to influence HOW we investigate)

I think that the papers by the many aspects of science (physics, meteorology, astronomy etc.) that do broach the subject, and many do, do indeed offer far better attention to the phenomena than the crackpots that label themselves UFOlogists.

Actually, Sky is the one that made me less open to the ideal of ET. From years of debate, I find best evidence to be very much wanting. The classic cases are not at all what they are cracked up to be, and they fall apart under scrutiny. If this is the best we have, then I conclude we do not have anything.

Well, just go to waterufo.net and pick the ones that fit my criterion - you will see they cannot be Plasma or Bioluminescence...

I don't know why you keep bringing these up because it's the ones we can't explain that interest us - not the ones we can.

Dude, hundreds of them enter the water (not just extract)! I'm pretty sure now that you haven't read as many as I have.

Do check it out, there are some incredible incidents!

I guess we can put that down to USO/UFO confusion. That site calls any UFO that flies over a glass of water a USO.

Are we talking of the same site? I found many at the waterufo site to be called submarines, some were even explained, not sure why there were listed, some underwater, as per above examples, and some just go near water.

Some that I did find an unusual instance I have to say were mirrored at the Hessdalen project.

Could you please point at the section where you see these more intriguing instances, and perhaps post one or two samples?

THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE ALL THIS!!! :alien::alien::alien:

Thanks for taking the time to reply mate ;) The pleasure is shared.

Cheers.

Some Key Words that are used a lot in here !

1.I dont See How !

2.I dont Believe !

3.THeres no way !

4.No proof!

5.Hard to Accept.

6.Dosnt .

7.Cant !

8.Impossible.

Looks Like thats a train of thought that needs to be on another Track than Best evidence for ET visitation. :alien:

It would be nice to See a Positive mind set once and awhile !

We've already done all this in previous calculations. Did you skip through those?

At any rate, at 50 miles 1,652.3ft will be below the Horizon from your view point. The Willis Tower is ~1452 ft tall but Chicago has 580 ft elevation so the Willis Tower is ~2032 ft ASL, then you are seeing about 379.6 ft of the Top of the Willis Tower in that Photo ( a bit more considering the elevation of the Camera).

To sum it all up, there was no way those lights were over the BGR from 50+ miles at the altitude the lights were taped from the Phoenix area. I had already done a side-by-side comparison some time ago between the Chicago skyline photoi and the 'Phoenix Lights," and matching the horizons together to see major differences, but, decided to withhold that information to see where I was being taken by the skeptcs That is why I have been telling you folks that your numbers were not matching up and why I posted the photo, and, what I was observing behind my own residence at tall and distant objects and the observations were consistent with the Chicago skyline photo. Another reason why I explained the need to do a side profile depiction in regards to the the City of Phoenix and the BGR. I posted the elevations of each location for a particularly good reason.

To further add, the Air Force had made up the story of the flares, which was evident by the fact it took them weeks before they even responded with a flare explanation and demontration, and that, after initially denying any involvement. You see, that is the way the Air Force works, and I have seen it time after time after time,not just on UFOs, but on other issues as well, once of which involved me on a mission in regards to the Korean Airline incident involving Flt 007.. The Air Force is a master at deception and the Roswell incident and the 1952 Washtington D.C. incidents are prime examples of what I am talking about in regards to the "Phoenix Lights" deception.

I have been sitting here looking out over the bay at a few tall buildings between 10-12 miles away and I can hardly make them out above the horizon, and one of those buildings is 417 feet high, so I had already known for some time that the further an object is from the viewpoint the lower on the horizon a distant object is going to be.

It has already been concluded that the "Phoenix Lights" were not flares, which was evident by the fact that the majority of people who have lived in the Phoenix area for many years, have never seen military flares before and look where the BGR is located in regards to the City of Phoenix. That was one of a few major clues that the Air Force was deceiving the public on flares that were not there, and given the fact that people who saw the lights firsthand, have said the objects were not flares, and some of them have seen flares before to know the difference and were in the military.

I brought up the curvature of the Earth at these distances LONG before you ever did! Don't sit here and pretend like this is something you can claim credit for! I first brought it up, then guess-timatmated then presented a formula to calculate it.

This is unbelievable that you think you can claim credit for my work once AGAIN!

Sky, do you understand what math is? Why haven't you shown us your math yet?

You can yammer on until you're blue in the face, but until you actually show us some math that backs up your proclamations nothing will change the reality of the flares over the BGR. :hmm:

Well, if it is any consolation, everyone here (aside from a whirly bird and maybe a couple of his credulously faithful...) recognizes your efforts and accomplishments in this regard. :tu:

Do you know what photoreceptor cells are in the human eye? They allow light to be detected and transmitted to the brain for 'processing' giving us that wonderful thing called sight. The key is though that points of light (that is objects that emit light themselves...like flares) are able to be seen from much further away than something that is lit (that is something that absorbs and reflects a percentage of the light striking it, reducing the amount of light that remains visible...like distant buildings). Surely you understand this much, after all this is grade school science. Your comparison isn't valid.

After re-reading your post I think you are trying to demonstrate the Earth's curvature, however to be a valid comparison you need something a little higher than 417 feet @ 10-12 miles when the scenario we are discussing is much nearer 15000 feet @ 70+ miles.

A quick calculation based on percentages (i.e. 12 is 17% of 70) would mean that an object 12 miles away would need to be around 2550 feet elevation to compare to 15000 ft at 70 miles.

Hey booN,

He did, sort-of! He agreed with me right up until I asked him how far the '2,000 ft imaginary Mountain' should be from the Camera. That's the point at which he gave up on the Math and just 'claimed' Victory and starts pretending like my 'Ideas' were his 'Ideas'.

It's not going to 'fly'! I shouldn't have to allow someone to 'claim' credit for my Ideas I've posted for all to see when all I ask is to simply be credited in the first place.

I didn't say a thing about curvature of the earth except where I mentioned the towers of the Golden Gate bridge, after curvature was brought up before. Curvature of the Earth is evident and once again, the Chicago photo of the skyline from 50 miles away, to where no connections are being made.

I will be bringing up other distanced objects to further my points as well

Math? Can you produce some math? Pictures may be worth a thousand words, but when they are your words it amounts to nothing. Produce some math and then we can talk.

I have shown the photos, and as I have said before, that photo is worth a thousand words, and numbers. I matched the observations of the photo with what I was observing behind my own residence in regards to distant objects above the horizon and taking notes.

Once again, the majority of people who have lived in Phoenix for years, have never seen military flares before and look where the BGR is located in regards to Phoenix,. That is a major clue right. The the number jived, then flare drops would have been regulary observed in Phoenix on a regular basis, which they are not, and why they have never seen flares before.

You've got a big mountain blocking the area toward the BFR ,which the folks of Phoenix cannot view from one side of that mountain, and why I asked you if you have ever been to Phoenix.
