VALID UFO accounts

[moosestang]

I was about 10-12 years old (1961-63 timeframe). Sitting at a picnic table with family at our summer cottage in NE PA. I look up behind the cottage, and see a large silver cigar shaped object hovering about a mile or so away. It's pointed south at about a 20 degree inclination. I look across the table to my aunt and ask if she sees it. She did, but by the time we look back it shot off at an incredible acceleration. Gone by the time I ran to the back of the cottage to see if I could get a better view.

This is in an area of lots of small lakes/ponds/wetlands, so local newsrags report it as "swamp gas". Swamp gas my *ss.

LOL! you guys crack me up.
The speed of light cannot be exceeded, that being 186,000 miles in a second. That photon leaving our sun (star) takes EIGHT minutes to reach our retinas.
Accelerating at one gravity it would take hundreds of years to come from even the nearest stars from our Sun. And remember your craft has to deaccelerate once the halfway point is achieved or you'll shoot right past Earth.
To think a civilization that could do that feat wouldn't be so proud of themselves as to remain 'hidden' to keep us earthlings from freaking out, well I just do not see it.
Oh, and those aliens would need a several hundred year life span, or a way to hibernate for scores of decades.
Star Trek/Star Wars are fine stories but very much just fiction.
There maybe space faring civilizations in our vast universe, I seriously doubt any have visited Earth.

I wont believe until there is a craft, body or scat.
