People not getting outside enough
"missiles" off the CA coast and "missiles" over NYC. OMFG, don't
these people EVER go outside? These are nothing more than aircraft contrails near the horizon seen almost straight on. Spend any time on the water and you'll see such many times. The weirdest illusion I ever saw was a UFO that followed my sailboat one very cold night in the Gulf of Mexico. An aircraft approaching from astern but very far away was seen to make very rapid changes in direction, far faster than any aircraft can do. The illusion was caused by the motion of the backstay relative to the boat as the wind gusted. We would see the light relative to the backstay which we think is at a constant angle wrt to our line of sight but actually moves a tiny bit. This caused the appearance of rapid course changes in the light. Of course, then there was the time I was going up the Apalachicola River and came around a bend and an ultralight aircraft coming downriver at an altitude of 40' nearly hit my mast. That was an unexpected nav hazard. |

I absolutely believe, truly, that UFO's follow you. Really, I do. :) |

A buddy and I saw a UFO in the night sky many, many years ago while driving from Topeka to Great Bend, Kansas. It was one of those beautiful, clear, cold nights, with no reflections from any man-made sources, a true starry, starry night. The lights we saw were way up there, and exhibiting non-ballistic behavior. The next day, on the news, it turned out we were not the only ones who saw it. This was in the 1960's. |

Well, I guess I can tell now that my dad is gone... Back in the late 50's early 60's I am not sure, there was an incident at my dad's work. An "object" round and blue came within a few hundred feet of the ground, probably less than 100 as I understand it and it hovered and moved around over the warehouse interior courtyard area where the rail docks were. The impression I got was that this lasted several minutes. My dad did not come home that night as the USAF suits came to the docks and took all of the workers to a place off site. They were debriefed and as a retired military officer my dad and several others were ordered to keep it to themselves. From the way I understand it, they were very seriously threatened, literally, if they spoke of the incident to the news or anyone else. He didn't tell me until a few years ago what actually happened that night, but I do remember the night my dad did not come home from work and that there was a bit of excitement the next day here... Both my wife and I have seen "ufo's" that we believe are not of this world in our lifetimes, separate incidents... UFO's show up here on earth to see if we've progressed. I'll bet the answer is always in the negative. *:) As kids, we made fake UFOs to freak the neighbors. |
