Are flying saucers for real?

Some of us may remember the couple who were driving along on a forest road when a f.s. appeared before them, which stopped their progress. It didn't land on the road, but hoovered off the ground, maybe a yard, or so.

They took the man into their saucer, and examined his private parts.

No real harm done to them, and their memory of this event was very sketchy.

Not sure about flying saucers, but the Amytiville Horror was a madeup hoax. The family who bought the house they claimed to be haunted was having financial problems so they came up with the story of the haunting, and well, the rest is history of the supernatural fictional genre.

It's entirely possible that there is life on other planets. It is entirely possible that they have an interest in visiting earth. However: IMO, the surest bet for encountering them is not some backwoods dirt road in Kentucky. And it wouldn't be Washington, D.C.- and certainly not Langley or China Lake. If I were an extraterrestrial, the first place I would head for is Tahiti. Maybe Fiji or Aruba. But some deserted stretch of decrepit roadway in the middle of nowhere? Come on! Get real!

IMO.

Actually there is some sense in the idea that people would be abducted in remote areas. If ETs wanted to get hold of people secretly with the least disruption, they'd do it there not in a city where it would be far more noticed.

It's an interesting parallel to how we catch and release animals for conservation.

Yes flying saucers are real. I saw one a few years back about 2006 while hiking up Mt. Ogden. I was near the top of the mountain on a day in August. It was the 9000 ft elevation when all of the sudden a round ship painted silver and shiny streaked across the sky. It was running about 500 miles an hour estimated. And was headed to Farmington. It made no sound and gave no pollution. And there was no wind. No balloon travels like that.

I got really scared and got off the mountain quick. They are for real I'm telling you!

As for them being interested in our private parts... Yes that's true too. I know of someone who was almost abducted by something in the sky when he was taking a leak at night outside. It was scary, funny now, but scary then.

Be careful at night (especially with your winky)...

...one of...THEM.

I mean, isn't it obvious?

I remember one night in Provo. It was quite late and nobody was out and about. From a distance, I saw a strange figure in the parking lot pulling something off his face.

Just then I inadvertently stepped on a root beer can. The thing...entity...I'm not sure what it was...heard the noise and was startled. It dropped the thing it had just pulled off its face. I ran over just wanting to make sure that he didn't forget to take the thing with him. But he was long gone. Very fast. And suddenly something bright, about the size of a VW Beetle, whoooshed up high into the sky and then shot off over the mountains with incredible speed.

Anyhow, I picked up the thing that he had dropped and...it was the face of Dallin Oaks. Just like a real face. Eyes moving, lips twitching and everything, but on the other side--the inside of the face--was some weird microelectronics, tiny servo motors and some strange webbing structures. "What kind of weird, ultra-advanced, animatronic face is this???" I wondered to myself.

The next morning, I heard that Apostle Oaks had been visiting a building next to that parking lot that very night. I went home to get the face, which I had stashed under the couch, thinking that I would turn the face into the authorities. But when I got home, the face was gone. In its place was a note that said: "If you tell, you'll go to hell." And it was signed: "Eeeg uuuk Smmrk Oaax Daaleen" (a space alien name if ever there was one).

Many years later I got an invitation from someone (using the initials DHO) to attend an event called "face to face" (and using the #face2face twitter code).

That's when I knew that he knew that I knew.

I've been listening to earthfiles, Robert Dean, David Adair and many whistleblowers. Just google them on YouTube.

I was turned on to the subject by a close friend of mine. I've been researching for months now. Every night when I get home from work I listen to at least one more interview.

And yes, the British and U.S. governments have been lying to us.

I'm blown away by the details that researchers and interviewers have revealed.

I look forward to the day when there is full disclosure. It will collapse many (probably all) major religions.

After leaving Mormonism 6-7 years ago I have wondered a lot about this topic. This is now a subject of tremendous interest for me.

For many military, NASA and government folks, their is no such thing as Unidentified Flying Objects. They know they exist. Some are extra terrestrial and others have been reversed engineered in secret programs - meaning they're terrestrial in origin.

The ex CEO of Lockhead Martin Skunk Works was Ben Rich who died in 1995. He mentioned to a colleague before his death that the technology to travel to the stars was complete. That was nearly 25 years ago. The propulsion systems have been and do exist. The public is not being told the truth about the secret programs funded in the trillions of dollars.

I have an ex-missionary companion who has worked for decades for Northrop Grumman. He doesn't talk about his work much and says he has extremely high security clearance. All he has ever said to me was, "You would not believe what has been reversed engineered and what we have been doing for decades. We can travel at hyper lumina speed." And that term "hyper lumina" jumped out at me when I heard it on one of the YouTube discussions. I just can't remember which one it was since I've watched so many.

Ever wondered why a single ordinary military toilet seat costs $800?

Carl Sagan presents good arguments for what?

Not flying saucers. He presents arguments for the likelyhood of some form of life on other planets. He presents arguments for UFOs - people see stuff they can't identify.

Back in the day, being possessed by evil spirits used to be a thing. You almost never hear that claim anymore, except for your Mormon grandma accusing you of listening to Satan because you think the BoM is a fraud. Possession by evil spirits became passé when the space age started in the 1950s. Now the lunatic fringe are abducted by aliens who like to poke and prod people and stomp down grass like dogs making a bed.

Right.

Yet not one of these abductees has ever bothered to pick up a screwdriver (some sort of artifact) from any of these flying saucers. I guess aliens are really good at inventory control.

And the CIA blew up the World Trade Center, the moon landing was faked, and the earth is both flat and hollow inside.

And the sun gets its light from Kolob. That must be one hell of an extension cord.

I don't know what's going on with the flying saucer people. I suspect that it's some form of delusion.

As for "first contact," I think that the original episode of Star Trek: Enterprise got it right. In that episode, the Vulcans explained that they were aware of humans, but kept their distance until we demonstrated that we were capable of interstellar travel. That would be not unlike anthropologists leaving very primitive tribes alone. I would think that an advanced, friendly species would leave us alone until we could compete on their turf.

Check out all the info about "Project Blue Book" (great dramatized series on the History channel) and the real PBB program and Dr. J Allen Hynek.

Also Bob Lazar who worked at S4 which is a part of Area 51. He claims he worked on reverse engineering and actually saw a craft. He also discovered Element 115.

There's so much the gob'ment is hiding.

Also, there was a sighting of UFOs over Washington, DC, July 1952.

Oh and "Operation Paperclip."

People see all kinds of things and interpret them as "flying saucers" -- U.F.O.s Most have rational explations such as high altitude balloons, stars or planets, or experimental aircraft, or ordinary atmospheric phenomena such as lenticular clouds over mountain tops.

As for alien spacecraft from another star system piloted by intelligent beings, we don't know and there's no evidence that it's ever happened. It'a possibility -- but extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

If a UFO really did appear on or near earth, there would be no shortage of independent observations. Amateur and professional astronomers, air traffic controllers, people just looking at the sky would notice it. Someone would be able to corroborate the story from the guy in the cornfield no one will ever believe, who seems to be the only person ever to see these things up close. (And hey, everyone has a camera phone these days.)

By the same token, if an alien lifeform were looking for us, we would be easy to find. Earth gives off so much electromagnetic radiation from all the electronic devices that exist, the planet would be a stellar anomaly. Other signs would be obvious to an outside observer.

There are also many well-known explanations for what appear to be UFOs. Jimmy Carter's UFO sighting turned out to be Venus. What I once thought might be a UFO - a long row of horizontal lights moving slowly upwards - turned out to be the Goodyear Blimp.

I absolutely believe that life exists on other planets. The size of the universe is unfathomable, and potentially life-supporting planets are a lot more common than we thought even 30 years ago. Statistically, it's almost a certainty. But UFO stories are 20th century bunkum.

We have the technology for interstellar travel, but we don't have the ability to live long enough to use it.

If it turns out that there are no 'magic' wormholes, and Einstein was correct that nothing can travel faster than greased light, then the magical ingredient to interstellar travel will be medical immortality. Or the downloading of the human consciousness into an ageless metal device of some sort. Which may have its own anti-mortality foibles.

Always keep in mind, being alive usually ends one way!!

They were in an old piece of lumber that I found in my friend's backyard. I held the lumber close to my face, hoping to get sucked into another galaxy. Instead I got a couple of slivers in my nose. So I'm no fan of wormhole travel. I don't think it works at all.

I did see one of them stargate watchamacallits on the tellyvision. But I suspect it was phony.

Military planes. Most of the sightings, especially in the 50s-70s, were near military bases, especially out West . The stealth , when it first came out, was very different looking from present planes at the time, and most of the sightings for that one were near Whiteman AFB, where they were based.

Many of the unidentified flying objects (UFOs) spotted by people in the middle of the last century were actually high-flying spy planes, officials from the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency say.

On Dec. 29, CIA officials said the following via Twitter: "#1 most read on our ‪#Bestof2014list: Reports of unusual activity in the skies in the '50s? It was us."Attached to the tweet was a PDF of "The CIA and the U-2 Program, 1954-1974," a report about the United States' manned U-2 spy plane written by agency historians and published in 1998.

That document notes that "high-altitude testing of the U-2 soon led to an unexpected side effect — a tremendous increase in reports of unidentified flying objects (UFOs)." [Where to Spot 'UFOs' (Infographic)]

In the mid-1950s, most commercial airliners flew at altitudes between 10,000 and 20,000 feet (3,048 to 6,096 meters). But once U-2s started flying at much higher altitudes — above 60,000 feet (18,288 m) — "air traffic controllers began receiving increasing numbers of UFO reports," the report explains.

Unless I see a flying saucer and aliens from space I'm not going to believe in them just because a lot of people say they exist. Even some nutty professors.

My whole life I never really connected to the whole Joseph Smith story but was under pressure to believe due it being part of the family tradition. Well I took the wild path instead of the nice and easy one and went my own way and never regretted it because I can be myself.

He was quite high up in oir country's airforce and it was during the Cold War. UFO reports did come in occasionally, but personnel were discouraged from talking about it, even to each other. Some of these reports were actually very credible - experienced pilots and radsr operators are better witnesses than Joe Public.

Few of the reports were about flying saucers in the classic sense, but many were strange. Due to the Cold War secrecy was paramount - the objecte could have been secret Soviet or American tech.

Because of the secrecy, I only got to hear about the bare bones of it so nothing as fancy as X Files. Uncle only mentioned it once or twice.
