Do you believe?

Not to "beat a dead horse" but I happened across the movie "Contact" which was airing on television last night. Has anyone seen it before? It stars Jodie Foster as a scientist that attempts to find evidence of extraterrestrial life by listening for radio transmissions from space. After sveveral years, she begins to receive transmissions coming from the area of the star Vega (26 light years from earth) in the form of a repeating sequence of prime numbers. They go on to discover that this message is actually in 3D and contains over 60,000 pages. The film goes on from there and I won't spoil it for anyone that hasn't seen it and may want to. Pretty neat stuff to those interested in worm holes, time travel, and the great distances out there.

Wrong secret, wrong math

I really doubt if any UFO's would be flying around with their landing lights on. Or any lights on.

By now all UFO's would have copied our military's ability to camouflage themselves by reflection or absorbing light or radar.

I recall back in the 1960's when most UFO sketches or pictures looked like what we later saw as Delta Wing airplanes and the super secret SR71 Blackbird. Or a photo of a hubcap being thrown as a frisbee.

The only thing that really irritated me (much later) was that it "sounded like" the scientists at the "Skunkworks" making the Blackbird were not permitted to share new technology with the Space Program scientists.

Why did the military have a Titanium airplane that got stronger every time you took it up and heated up the outside - yet John Glen's rocket was built on low bid government contract.

And besides, one female alien I met in a bar once told me that all aliens had seven toes on each foot so naturally they use base 14 math. Jodie Foster didn't have a clue.

In the still of the night

With all the cell phone cameras and video cameras around, why don't we see pictures of alien spacecraft more now than we did back in the 70's and 80's?

Because they KNOW we have them, and they're keeping a lower profile than they used to. They understand our limited technology, and if you remember all the sightings that were reported 30-40 years ago, they either appeared where only pilots and a few others could see them, or they hung out in rural areas, close to Bubba and his still, so no one would believe anything they said.

Do a little research on the Piedmont Missouri sightings back in the 70's and 80's.........they were an everyday event.

UFOs Found in Real TV Broadcasts

Back in the Iron Curtain and Cold War days it was sometimes exciting to camp out by hydro electric dams. A major target for night time practice runs for our fighter bombers.

Basically the military is smarter than our police and prison administrators. They know that the game is still on when the sun goes down. They still have classes when the sun goes down.

Light bulbs are good

This is just my personal opinion... if you believe, as big as this... WORLD is, that we are truly ALONE... I'm sorry for you.

On the other hand. I do believe in spirits, ghosts, etc. I've had a few personal experiences at my fathers home that had me running back inside. I'll just say this... his home is on a hill (he's alone up there too) where the local KKK use to burn crosses in this massive fire pit that still exists about 60-70 yards from his house (YEARS ago)

The invention of the light bulb was a big deal. No reason for lighting fires and lamps and such.

In ALIENS? I took the family to see "Dark Skies" and it got me to thinking, what do I believe and what do others believe?

NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stranger than fiction

I have seen wierd stuff in the night sky, lights way up high making sudden turns, lights stopping then moving again, my wife saw one make several zigzag moves, stuff like that. I have no idea what they were, other than wierd.

My best guess is that the military leaves the lights on so they can see and photograph moves, and compare it to how it looks on radar.

Now if anyone ever saw our jets scrambling and chasing them off......

But on the other hand I saw a program on lightening strikes that included showing upward lightening strikes from the clouds. Airline pilots had been whispering about them for years but no one went public. Whenever an airline pilot reports anything strange he gets investigated, drug tests and such. Not worth losing your job over. No one wants something strange in their personnel file. Certainly not police either.
You can only trust taxi drivers.

Why yes, yes they are here. Some in positions you would never expect them to occupy. You can't say anything because you will be muffled if you attempt anything. They look just like you do. Honestly, why would I lie?

Mark me down as having an open mind on the subject of aliens and the paranormal.
