UFOs

PainRack · Post by **PainRack** » 2003-05-04 10:43am

Well,anyone got any UFO or UFO look-alike stories to tell?

Here's mine.

I'm posted to a airbase,and it always atonish me how the random movement of aircraft,viewed through a window pane or atmospheric disturbances can look so unearthly.However,the strangest experience I ever had,and really looked like alien flying saucers,had nothing to do with aircraft at all.

To begin,I was looking across the runway and watching a airplane circle the base and noticing how low it looked,although I knew that it was flying over a thousand feet high and god knows how far away.By chance,I glanced over the approach and saw four white objects flare across the sky at roof level and hover.Moments later,they began to change colour.I compensated for staring at the lights and was begining to wonder whether my eyes had imagined their movement when they moved left again and disappeared behind a structure on the rooftop.

Needless to say,this puzzled me greatly.It couldn't be an aircraft,as no aircraft could have done that.If it was an aircraft,it couldn't have disappeared behind that building.It can't be someone flashing lights into the sky as it would be violating civil aviation laws.It couldn't be a car,as it happened at rooftop level.Although my senior then rationalised it as a car moving across the rooftop(we pinpointed it as being where a car showroom building was),a car couldn't have went into the rooftop structure.At least,it shouldn't have been travelling like a crab.

It took me 2 days to finally realise what that thing was.Apparently,there was a construction crane a few kilometers behind the car showroom.What I saw was nothing more than someone turning on the crane and the lights,moving it around,turning it back and switching off the lights.This normal phemonena was weird enough that for a moment,I really thought I had to eat humble words and was seeing a real UFO.

My male-parental-figure was down fixing his canal boat at about 6 AM one summer morning when he saw "what looked like a lightbulb zip accross the sky,change direction, and zip in another direction".

And once ball lightning blew up our downstairs TV.

There was this probing incident....

*insert gay porno description altered to fit in with sci-fi*

...So is this thread supposed to only talk about REAL UFOs (like that crane) or the Rael-type shit?

Well, here's a real UFO incident from my childhood: When I was a wee lad I used to think the moon and sun were within the Earth's atmosphere...I was told the Man on the Moon would get me if I stayed up past my bedtime.

I didn't know what the fuck those things really were...Hence they were UFOs.

Well, Tassie has a "UFO hot-spot" down in the lakes districts, apparently we get quite a few around there. Or it could just be the drunken red-necks.

And there was a notable disappearance of an airplane over Bass Strait once. The guy was on the radio to ATC in Melbourne for about 20 minutes because he was being "shadowed" and then "buzzed" by another aircraft. Then they lost contact and never found wreckage (not surprising given that Bass Strait can make Cape Horn look like a mill pond).

Myself, I've only ever seen something that I'd classify as "UFO" once, and that was a bright light in the sky at dusk, flitting about for about 1 minute. It don't think it was even remotely extraterrestial but it did look funky.

on a side note, do you think area 51, or warehouse 23, or the mib exist? secret government labs, conspiricies, greys abducting people?

Alien spacecraft, Greys, Area 51? No.

Secret Gov/mint agencies and projects?
I know for a fact, yes.

Yes, and it is used for secret projects. However, they're along the lines of Nighthawk fighters, rather than orbital mind control frisbees.

Enforcer Talen wrote: or warehouse 23,

It's possible, but if it did exist, it isn't used to house dead LGMs or orbital mind control frisbees.

Enforcer Talen wrote: or the mib exist?

That's a movie.

Enforcer Talen wrote: secret government labs,

Yep. Plenty of classified weapons research still going on. None of it involving orbital mind control frisbees.

Enforcer Talen wrote: conspiricies,

The United States government is lucky to find it's own ass with both hands and a map. Any attempt at a conspiracy generally gets blown open with lots of verifiable evidence and widespread mainstream press coverage.

Enforcer Talen wrote: greys abducting people?

Hypnagogic hallucinations, vivid dreams, night terrors, general hallucinations and dementia. No, LGMs do not exist.

Many years ago i remember seeing a bright light in the sky, very far away. I looked back a minute later and it was still there, then it shot off into the sky diagonally upwards and disappeared. I have no idea what that was all about.

Post by **Gandalf** » 2003-05-05 04:45am

I was once in the back of my car, going down the F3 freeway, I saw 3 lights spinning very fast fly in the other direction, still can't explain it.

yep. Im watching mib now.

and, if I become president, it will because Ive already gotten canada. that plot is already working.

The best place to spot UFOs on the planet is within the Triangle area of Glasgow, Edinburgh and St. Andrews in the Kingdom of Fife.

Bare in mind that they also drink a lot of Scotch and Irn-Bru which would probably account for 99% of sightings on a Friday night.

I have seen some flashing lights on the night sky moving in strange patterns, like the lights of an aircraft. There was only a single flashing white light constantly moving in a pattern, which in turn moved over the night sky - giving the impression of the sighting being an aircraft. I tried to conclude the craft's shape from the flashing light... the pattern was consistent with a shape similar to that of a B-2 "flying wing bomber."

But this was in Denmark!! As far as I know, USA is the only nation whose air force has B-2s. What the heck is a B-2 doing here in Denmark, and over a suburb to Roskilde??

Unbelievable as it is, it was either a B-2, or some top-secret military aircraft. (I have no idea why the Danish air force should have any of those, but it could be part of a multinational training exercise - or a top-secret Russian spy plane!)

It might also have been Yog-Sothoth, but I'd leave that.

As for Area 51, it exists. As for Stereotypical Grey Aliens - no, their physique is unrealistic. (How the heck can their frail bodies not collapse under the weight of their gigantic heads??) If extraterrestrials exist, they are more likely to be akin to H.P. Lovecraft's "Elder Things" than SGAs.

Maybe that explains why Ian Anderson used to look like a Klingon without the skull ridges.

Wicked Pilot can answer this better than me, but Denmark may be under an airway with a path leading towards Scotland, where there are a few secluded airbases used by the US military, Macintirish (or whatever its name...) is one of them. Back in the old days (read 80's) this base was one of the few from were SR-71's operated.

Area 51 - the groom lake base does exist, although i would have thought they would have moved the classified stuff from there to somewhere sparsely populated (i would have thought alaska).

Warehouse 23 - never heard of it.

secret government labs, yes, but perhaps not in the US, plenty places to hide and experiment free of scrutiny in africa, burma and places like that.

greys abducting people - i don't know. lots of people have lost their reputations for no good reason on this subject...long ago the succubus and uncubus myths came up because of similar happenings to abductions...i think it's possible that greys exist, and the vast distances between stars is just a cop out. They could be hominids that aren't on the fossil record perhaps...or maybe from mars, or extra dimensional angels or demons (what the bible describes between elohim and nephilim sounds very alien civil war ish)....who knows?

ON a side note...the former head of British MoD went on a program saying "there are structured craft in UK airspace, without permission, and they are backed up with radar evidence" there's also that base in (guess) yorkshire i think in which pretty much everyone on the base saw a trangular shaped craft checking out some hangars with nuclear material.

The MoD supposedly has their own test aircraft that looks a bit like an F-117A but is rumoured to have VTOL or at least STOL abilities.

Yes, but that still doesn't explain what a B-2 is doing in Denmark. It only explains where it might be coming from.

I'm glad at least you guys are smart enough to remember UFO does not necessarily mean alien spacecraft. I have to go educate the rest now.

So? That's the beauty of stealth craft, they aren't there, they're deniable.

And if we can't explain the presence of a B-2 over a Danish suburb, we can always make up some bizarre conspiracy theories!!

EDIT: Today, I asked one of my friends who know quite a lot about military stuff, and he answered me that the Danish airforce actually has one or two B-2 bombers. It might have been that one I saw.

Say hello to someone from the Golden UFO Triangle, and I can tell you that 90% of what we see here IS related to the drinking of Irn-Bru and it's alcoholic mixers, although there are still a lot of unexplained things going on. We are also buzzed a lot by top secret stuff flying from Macrahanish and other secluded spots, so who knows what the hell is up there right now? If we see the sun we call the cops - "There's this bright glowing thing in the sky! It's burning my skin! Help!" Maybe that's why the Yanks test over here as well now, because the crap overcast weather we have hides the planes.

On a side note I have a friend who stays right outside Area 51, and he says they've already moved most of the classified stuff elsewhere now, it's just too famous and too well watched to be of any real use to them now. He's always amazed at all the prats who line up thinking all the lights moving around up there are UFOs, I mean who would expect to see aircraft in the sky right next to a secret aircraft testing facility? What's the chances of that, it has to be UFOs, right?

well if they're unidentified and moving...they automatically are
