UM-Bot Posted April 25, 2024 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2024 A family who reported that an object had crashed in their yard last year has since been plagued by paranormal experiences. https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/376528/family-experiences-paranormal-activity-after-non-human-crashed-in-their-yard 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esoteric_toad Posted April 25, 2024 #2 Share Posted April 25, 2024 Event happens nearly a year ago. Claims they are 'plagued' by paranormal activity. Provides zero evidence. Seems odd if you are being 'plagued'. JMO of course. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittens Are Jerks Posted April 25, 2024 #3 Share Posted April 25, 2024 I was able to find a news report on this incident. It includes a video containing the images of the falling object, the family's 911 call regarding the alleged crash in their backyard, as well as police body-cam footage. Guess what the officers who responded to the 911 call found in the backyard. Nothing. https://abc7.com/las-vegas-aliens-ufo-alien-news/13359881/ 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papageorge1 Posted April 25, 2024 #4 Share Posted April 25, 2024 Sounds crazy, weird and also believable to me. Now, it would be nice if one of the stories told us how long the object and beings were there and how they left the scene, but 'No'.

Gumball Posted April 25, 2024 #5 Share Posted April 25, 2024 This is one of those strange stories that doesn't seem fake but doesn't feel right. The original part that is. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl.Of.Trumps Posted April 26, 2024 #6 Share Posted April 26, 2024 (edited) I would say that *something* happened and it scared them witless, and their imaginations went wild. These folks were not intentionally hoaxing, in my opinion. Edited April 26, 2024 by Earl.Of.Trumps 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the13bats Posted April 26, 2024 #7 Share Posted April 26, 2024 Sorry, this has all the marks of a made up attention grab. Let's see going by information as we have on it, a real documented event took place... Quote The American Meteor Society maintained that a meteor was responsible for the sightings, with 21 reports being received in total across California, Nevada and Utah. So no shock that witnesses saw something, but wait... Quote "There's like an 8-foot person beside [the object] and another one is inside us and it has big eyes and it's looking at us - and it's still there," he told the dispatcher at the time. "They're very large. They're like 8 foot, 9 feet, 10 foot. They look like aliens to us. Big eyes. They have big eyes. Like, I can't explain it, and big mouth. They're shiny eyes and they're human." "They're 100% not human." Of course police found zero, zip, zlitch to support any of that outlandish tales. In other words, just a story. Most space craft crashed saw aliens stories end there but this "teenager" took it further suggesting now demons are involved and are tossing around religious decor type items, again with zero evidence to support such claims. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papageorge1 Posted April 26, 2024 #8 Share Posted April 26, 2024 I am not afraid to give a theory (not a claim) The UFO event involved opening an interdimensional portal and these aliens were seen for a short time in our normal three-dimensional reality. Now low-level spirits have used this portal for low-level activities like as it said floating an upside-down cross in mid-air. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are some more equally believable theories: - There was a temporary glitch in the computer simulation that is actually our reality, another simulation with different creatures must have leaked into ours temporarily - Sauron has re-emerged and reforged the One Ring and is using magic to scout out the forces of Men for future conquest - Someone broke the rules and forgot to say 'Goodbye' after using a Ouija board - Jesus has risen (in a new taller, larger-eyed form) - These creatures are always roaming around but the vast majority of people are unaware of them due to the Mandela Effect - These are Sasquatches caught without their fur coats on All those seem about on equal par as far as 'utterly unsupported' as your theory about unevidenced interdimensional portals and low-level spirits. Of course there is another theory: maybe just maybe the story you are reading on the internet isn't fully accurate? Of all these theories this is easily and obviously the one with the most evidence of actually occurring sometimes, that evidence is actually overwhelming. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, one can create any logically possible theory. It's up to each of us to form an opinion on their likelihood. The theory I proposed was worth proposing IMO as it matches up with many things I've heard over decades of listening and provides a possible connection for seemingly unrelated experiences. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, 'rationally' and logically, 'the vehemence and emotion' have no necessary relationship to how rational the resistance is. People disbelieve paranormal claims for very rational reasons, and the fact that they may be angry or delighted or apathetic has nothing to do with whether the resistance is rational or not. That is determined by the reasoning, not how you feel about it. 27 minutes ago, papageorge1 said: Here's a paper from the 'Journal of Scientific Exploration' To be honest that was terrible. So many words and psychological projection all in an effort to dodge the only relevant factor, the supporting evidence, which the paper hardly mentions at all. Paranormal ideas are not being 'repressed', they are being criticized. There's nothing irrational about disbelieving or 'resisting' paranormal ideas when you don't have even moderately good evidence supporting it, nor is there an issue with the evidence being ignored as you can see daily on this very site. This paper is just a giant case of 'irrationally' avoiding what skeptics overwhelmingly say is their actual reason for their disbelief: profound lack of evidence. If a skeptic is also vehement or hostile about it then those emotions may be irrational just because all emotions are ultimately not 'logical', duh, but that doesn't make the resistance 'irrational'. That's an accusation that they've reached their position without using reason; people who use reason to arrive at their disbelief and are angry about paranormal claims are not engaging in 'irrational resistance'. You seem to have the strange idea that each repeated claim of paranormal activity needs to be approached as if there were no history of these claims, like I'm supposed to just be totally agnostic if I hear that there was another sighting of Nessie and not factor in the fact that there have been a ton of such sightings and full-out scans/searches in Loch Ness to no avail. Ignoring existing evidence as well as the utter lack of it doesn't sound that 'rational' to me. 48 minutes ago, papageorge1 said: The theory I proposed was worth proposing IMO as it matches up with many things I've heard over decades of listening and provides a possible connection for seemingly unrelated experiences. So do mine ultimately, that was the point. There's lots of evidence-free possibilities and since they're all evidence-free they're essentially equal as far as likelihood, so I guess mine were worth proposing too then. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his opening abstract he specifically calls out a case where there was no: profound lack of evidence Quote To illustrate, the present paper looks at David Hume’s discussion of miracles in his An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding (1748/1955). Hume’s essay actually lays out a good case for some extraordinary events reported about the death of the Jansenist Francois de Paris—phenomena produced by the so-called ‘‘convulsionaries of St. Medard.’’ 12 minutes ago, Liquid Gardens said: So do mine ultimately, that was the point.

I do not hold every logically possible theory as equally likely and you don't either. For example, the theory that telepathy involves mental waves beyond our ability to detect is on a higher level of likelihood than 'invisible Bigfoots are delivering the thoughts'. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck since Hume lived over 2 centuries ago. The author of the paper merely saying a good case is laid out is no different than you or I stating that. This case is also heavily related to religion; where's your potential bias evaluation that you offer so readily for skeptics, or don't you think fervent religious belief can be a bias (especially 200 years ago ) 1 hour ago, papageorge1 said: I do not hold every logically possible theory as equally likely and you don't either.

Okay, that's because we have evidence of 'brains'; I don't know how you missed me saying 'evidence-free' multiple times. What about interdimensional portals and the existence of spirits, let along hierarchies of them, is better evidenced than Jesus or magic or especially a simulation. The simulation idea blows away your portal theory as far as whatever argument/evidence strength comes from 'inference from things that already exist'. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

openozy Posted April 28, 2024 #17 Share Posted April 28, 2024 No hard evidence so it must have been faked, the people are mentally ill, liars or mistaken.

Unfortunately when you consider any case you go in with high expectations it is paranormal you jump over all the proven explanations to jump to paranormal being "the" only or most likely explanation when it simply isn't. Worse even you make claims you are open minded yet when was the last time your goofy meter didn't lean to paranormal proving you are very tunnel visioned biased everything unexplained being paranormal, A total lack of evidence to support paranormal is a huge hurdle for believes and skeptics alike things like falling for a hoax , the experience is unknown or mistaken to them, the story teller is a bs artist and mental illness are all very well proven explanations, mental illness is one with a huge stigma we have different reasons for mental illness, hereditary, accident etc and it's well proven that a side effect can be delusions and simply not knowing realty from fantasy, but insisting it's a flaw with they skeptic because they have special powers we lack, again with zero supporting evidence. If you can't show a use, show those special powers, can't show evidence all you got is a story. So I make a reply like this and I get trashed and bashed by true believers saying how big a meanie I am for not being all naive and credious, it's never the skeptics burden to disprove the claims of the true believers no matter how butt hurt they get over it and I don't try I offer far more likely proven explanations I ask for any evidence which they never have and that makes me the bad guy.

Then we don't disagree I find your use of suggestive antidotal evidence to prove a case to you "irrational" Try this, a person Akbar doesn't know says Akbars partner Jeff is cheating on him , this person has others Akbar doesn't know who agree Jeff is cheating on Akbar, So my position is Akbar needs far more than these claims these antidotal stories Jeff is cheating to run out and divorce Jeff, yet the way you use stories would be akin to Akbar killing Jeff and dumping his body in a swap with nothing more to back up Jeff's cheating than stories and I do believe the majority would call Akbars blind belief in stories irrational. Since this is a dead horse idea let's move on to the OP of this thread and see if the witnesses presents any real evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
