    Flying Saucers

    Seen any? Have a theory you would like to share? In spite of extensive travelling and residing in so-called "hot spots" I have never seen anything remotely even approaching what would qualify as a UFO. I received however two reliable first hand accounts, including one with multiple witnesses, police report and a drawing. Has anyone had some intriguing experience in this domain?

    my theory is that the possiblity of life on other planets as exactly equal in negative corelation to the probability of them being able to travel far enough to reach us, therefore, i am pretty sure whatever craft are in the space originate on our planet.

    I am not sure about flying saucers....sure loved ET, though.

    While we lived in TX, we visited Marfa and saw the lights....*shrug*. They are definitely interesting and unexplainable.

    My story is about when I thought I was seeing a UFO and it turned out only to be a meteor, but it was WAAAAY cool all the same.

    I was about 9. It was a dark summer night and my friends and I were still our playing. We looked up in the sky and saw this GARGANTUAN boulder looking thing streaming just over our heads in the sky. I remember it glowed green, blue and yellow. It really looked like it was so big it covered the sky for blocks. Later, we discovered that a meteorite had fell some where in Canada, just across the river from my home town. It was amazing.

    I think it is rather arrogant of us to think that in the vastness of the universe we are the only living beings, motivated to explore beyond our origins.

      Being motivated and being successful are two very different things.

      "Being motivated and being successful are two different things." I agree, but. ..


      Hmmmm? Let's see now. . .? No one could possibly be successful at space/time travel (the two are connected) since we haven't been. . .

      That idea is even more arrogant/naive (the two are connected LOL!)!

      If we can imagine other times, places and even dimensions, then we can imagine travel between and among the inhabitants of those ideas.
