Anyone seen a UFO??
According to this article there's on average 1 UFO sighting a month, this forum has quite a few pilots and police I wondered if any one had ever
seen one ... So to speak
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/ufo/9468022/Britain-visited-by-one-UFO-a-month-but-MoD-rules-they-pose-no-threat.html#disqus_t
hread
It's good news though the MOD won't be investigating them anymore as they don't pose any threat

i think you actually need to believe in them to even warrant seeing one! like ghosts. i am one of those who wont entertain the possibility of either,
but thats just me. never seen one and pretty sure i never will. and until i do i will continue bieng a non believer!

All the time, i live by two USAF bases.
I saw a triangle thing many years ago coming in to land at silly o clock in the morning, 10 year later it turned out to be a stealth fighter with no
landing lights on !
The blackbird, U2, and god knows what other planes were stationed at the base. They could all be called UFO's
If the men in black ask, i didnt see a thing

walking home from school one day many many moons ago, i saw a silver ball hovering in the sky, it didn't move at all, but it was spinning round
and round at a few hundred rpm i'd say. if i'd had a camera phone back then, i'd have got a video, but it was even before everyone
had phones. i'll never know what it was
to me, you can never say something doesn't exist. just because you never see it, doesn't mean its not there.

Yes, my car, when it briefly drove on the road. Since completely disappeared to a garage and not seen since.

A couple of police buddies weres on nightshift in the 80's and saw some strange lights in the sky and heard a weird noise. Like most cops,
they're sceptical so-and-so's, but felt sufficiently bothered about it to call it in and tajke the undoubted ribbing that was coming their
way!
Anyway, they finished their shift at 6am and were given a call at mid-day asking them to come back in as some RAF guys wanted to speak to them asap.
They spent over an hour being asked in great depth about what they saw and heard...
I suspect it was either an experimental aircraft, or maybe a Soviet aircraft having a sniff about... but who knows - it may have come from further
afield!!!

UFO is a contradiction in terms, just because the person who sees it can't identify it doesn't mean that its unidentified, the pilot at
least will know what it is.

I'm a fairly sensible guy (honest ), but I reckon that if the universe is indeed 'infinite', then it must surely follow that there
are 'infinite' possibilities. Therefore there's every chance there's life out there!

I was abducted by aliens for 3 days in the 70s, ask work they'll verify it.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Thinking about how vast the universe is it is pretty much certain that there's other life out there, as for if some of them have developed space
travel & come here for a bit look round I'm fairly sceptical!

Defiantly other life forms out there. Pretty much scientifically proven. None of them near us though and if they have the tech to find and get to us
then they wont be interested. We will be primitive to the other intelligent life forms they go to meet.
Deal with it!!
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

there was alot more of that going on than the MOD ever admitted at the time
I seem to remember something about Falkirk having several sightigns a month, then years later due to budget cuts the MOD announced they were going to
stop testing experimental aircraft from ones of the bases over that way....

We flew to a job about four years ago, about midnight.
So not much in the way of light aircraft about, particularly over the built up areas, we all saw a single light heading north, in the opposite
direction to us.
The light wasnt strobing, the cab was turned to keep eyes onto it, I panned the camera around and picked it up on the IR camera.
After thirty seconds or so, we all realised it was a huge Chinese lantern, which had gone down our left side, which when it hit our downwash that sent
it around behind us. suckering all us into thinking it was something a bit unusual.
Lights play all sorts of tricks on your eyes at night, anyway it was the closing party for the Beijing Olympics that night, and we put that down to
some family releasing the lantern about midnight.

Never seen a UFO, even with over 3,000hrs flight-deck time on a VC10.
Been on many a 'journey into space' though (alcohol induced). I ensure I buy a return ticket.

The vast distances between us and the nearest solar system more or less prevent interstellar travel. If another race had the technology to cross such
vast distances then you can be sure we wouldn't 'spot' them.
People also assume any other race would be interested in a society that seems to be increasingly dependant useless television shows, celebrity gossip
and something called 'facebook'.

That's assuming they use a technology base with which we're familair and employ known or proposed limited propulsion ability. (All based
on relativity theory). Not to mention mankinds' paltry 100-200,000 years on the planet, (equivalent to the last second before midnight on New
Year's eve assuming a one year evolutionary clock.
I'm a sceptic too Irony. Your moniker lives up to its name with your avatar from War of The Worlds.

Lots of people see things in the sky that they can not identify. So by definition, they have seen a UFO.
If on the other hand, you mean has anyone seen an alien spacecraft, without resorting to recreational pharmaceuticals, then . . . .
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

nonsense. there is no proof, saying there are billions of galaxies with millions of stars that may have planets of similar distance as earth is to
our sun is not proof - it is simply stating there are planets they are like earth and could support life.
life is only found on one place so there insufficient data to use probalilties to extrapolate that lfe exists elsewhere. what happened on earth to
give rise to life may be a unique and unrepeatable event like the big band.

im sure other life must exist. the shear number of stars in the observable universe makes me believe that its impossible life doesnt exist elsewhere.
then really its just does intelligent life exist and if so whats the chances it has the capabilities to travel through space to visit us
I dont see it happening myself. though I am sure many of these people who spot them see ufo's they are just not from outer space
but what does get me wondering
given the opportunity to go visit and alien race on a different planet and have a look what they do, I would jump at the chance. then given that
really im a large child, I could think of nothing better that capturing one and prodding it with a stick. so if I would do it, why wouldnt they?

I was a UFO if you ask the tower at Linton.
Simply forgot to call downwind :-)
They had no idea who I was!!!!

There is no such thing as a stupid question.
Just the ones I ask!
