[ufo] becoming more mainstream


The 1991 near miss of the Alitalia plane and a UFO represents a slight hardening of the line on these things:


Secret documents released for the first time reveal that British Ministry of Defence staff accept that an Unidentified Flying Object zooming above Lydd caused the near miss. The incident took place at 7.58pm on April 21, 1991, and was investigated by the British Civil Aviation Authority and military experts.


Then there was the Turkish photo which I've been searching for debunkings on. If we can assume we've moved on from the "absolute rot - there are no such things" head in the sand position, it seems to me that the explanations fall into three main categories, ranging from an attempt to be reasonable through to on-the-edge:


1. They do exist, they are unidentified but they are foreign powers' clandestine technology. Hey, there's a lot of harware shooting about up there these days;

2. There are other worlds, it seems, so why shouldn't these people come over for a gander, just as we've done in reverse;

3. There is an entire other mystical thing going on, involving other dimensions, Ancient Egypt, Stonehenge, Ascended Masters and so on.


This blog dismisses none of them, simply because I don't know. As one who claims to "know" G-d exists from a given confirmation in the past, I'm hardly likely to dismiss such things as ufos out of hand although I feel the vast majority of "sightings" are explainable.

  1. A few years ago there was an UFO sighting just outside Waterloo which is just outside Brussels. It was reported in a matter of fact way. A couple of days later, a crop circle was sighted not far from there. It was reported in the same matter of fact way. I found that strange. Two sightings in a very short space of time and in the same place.

  2. I bet all the information hasn't been released into the public domain!

  3. If I were an alien and I was watching the global unrest unfold, I'd also be most interested in popping in to see what was happening. :)

  4. I pity the alien with advanced knowledge who wishes to share it with Gordon Brown for the benefit of humanity - "I will take no lectures from anyone from Alpha Centauri on limitless energy, advanced materials, warp-speed travel and medicine when New Labour introduced free bus travel for all OAPs in England! The Alpha Centaurians are the do nothing galactic civilisation for Britain."
    "Gort klaatu nicto baroda" or "I'll get my silvery spacesuit" and the alien departs, never to return.

  5. If there are other life forms out there; and if they are intelligent they will surely be forming a solid barrier to prevent us getting out there and infecting any more planets.

  6. Add to the list a number of poorly known natrual phenomena.. acceptance of ball lightning, for example, is relatively recent. Perhaps a number of UFO sightings are down to phenomena like earth lights

  7. Gallimaufry - creativity springs from adversity.

    Pisces - an asteroid curtain, in fact.

    Jams - yep, they're all probably earth lights :)
