A UFO theory.

[Nacho]

One more cup of the same we had during 60 years, I fear... Lights in the sky. (Let' s remember that a source of light for a spaceship designed for intergallactic trips is completelly incongruent)

So... Where is the UFO??? Where is the alien body, the extraterrestial materials? Where are the (good) evidences? C'mon, mistery sellers have been 60 years saying "It' s here... SOON we will have the EVIDENCE!!!" for decades; Still nothing...

This is a big "Peter and the wolf" story, but some people belive the lie for more time than others, apparently.

[m0ds]

The evidence is everywhere, it's not my fault you're afraid to believe it dude

What man-made object spooges stuff all over Long Beach CA and then shoots off at great speed?

You have to remember that whenever a UFO crashes, the military are on the scene in a matter of minutes. That's why there are no "hard evidences", even the smaller crashes & seemingly natural incidents will still be blurred out from public view, because we haven't yet had total disclosure -- but it is coming, whether you like it or not.

It goes beyond just looking at UFOs though, think about all the great scientists like Einstein who said we will need a radically new way of thinking if we're ever going to succeed on this planet, that sort of thing. And we as people do need a radical new way of thinking, and one of the only things left really that can effect this is knowing of alien life. The fact about the last 60 years Nacho, is that in the last five, more and more average, normal people are putting on the pressure - before that everyone would keep quiet, and be laughed down, but luckily, more people are happy to stand up for their rights as beings & demanding info on these things, incidents, events etc that occur. Newspapers & media are finally asking questions & in turn governments are starting to give answers. I feel we've talked about this before.

Still, it's quite alright for you to be the Scully cos I'm quite happy being Mulder

This might sound selfish but why is it important if aliens exist? Clearly a species that travels across the solar systems will have no problem in blowing us up if they want to and clearly they have no intention of contacting us cause I think it would be a lot more obvious and why would they, I wouldn't contact this planet if I were an alien with space travel technology (it's pretty f***ed down here, don't you think?). So what use is it to tell everybody and claim that there are aliens?
For all we know Earth might be like a pit stop on a highway where aliens throw out their garbage and go for a toilet break and forget about it a minute later.

Is there a difference in our lifes (your, mine, your family and friends) if they are out there? If you don't want to feel alone in the universe then I suggest religion, much more tangible club, also more members...though there are more videotapes of UFOs than God, I'll give them that.

That flock of birds had some bad diarrhea.

What man-made object spooges stuff all over Long Beach CA and then shoots off at great speed?

It looked like a meteor breaking up to me.  8)

[m0ds]

Well then, that's one slow meteor with some seriously inventive movement tricks!

[RickJ]

The object is moving against a solid grey background.  I did not see any indication of speed or chcange of direction.  I did notice however that the main object did appear to lose mass at about the same rate mass was being ejected at the apparent trailing edge of the object.

A military presence is also conspicuously absent from the video.  No interceptor jets, black helicopters, etc.

"Me on the other hand ... I'll be paranoid in about half'n hour"

Brilliant.

I love your show Mods!  It works for true believers like you, but it also works for those like me.  I love the idea of aliens/ufos (but don't think they're here) and yet the show is entertaining to me too!!

Keep 'em coming!

[Matti]

"If we compare these two objects, the one in Scotland looks very similar to the one I saw last night in Oxfordshire".

Haha, you're funny as always. You mean that the two lights have the same color?

Can't believe that you take this stuff seriously, but I don't wanna argue like Nacho does. And - as Darth pointed out - the show is entertaining for 'non-believers' as well.

[Nacho]

Could some believer please explain why UFOs do have lights?

[Stupot]

Space is dark.

[Matti]

Yeah, with all those UFOs out there just imagine all the crashes happening if they wouldn't have any lights. How irresponsible that'd be!

[Anian]

Those are not stars in the sky, those are UFOs that are so far that they don't seem to move. Some of them even got halgoen lamps installed, those are the bright ones.

They need to have lights, believe me, you do not wanna see a 100 UFO pileup at rush hour, those guys that crashed at Roswell, those are the ones that went of the highway trying to avoid the traffic jam.

[Dualnames]

To quote monsters vs aliens movie

"USA, the only country alien spaceships seem to visit"

[Nacho]

Space is dark.

And big! You are not going to illuminate it with a lamp... So; Why do UFOs have lights?

And... If they do really have lights... Why don't they switch them off when arriving to the Earth orbit?

mmmm....

[Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens]

Because they want to be found.  Why else would they abduct thousands of cows and people every year for experiments unless they wanted us to know about them?  I think the other animals must be jealous that the aliens don't want to abduct them too and secretly work together to hide the existence of aliens from us.

On another note, does anyone else get a weird feeling of excitement and dread when they watch UFO or paranormal shows and they start pulling out all these supposedly true stories kept from the public; really eerie stories or autopsy videos or witness accounts of being abducted?  It makes me feel like an insider in some massive conspiracy for about 10 minutes and then my mind reminds me that it's all bullshit.  I really miss some of those shows that spawned from X-Files' popularity.

Sorry if someone's posted this before, but I've only read about 2/3 of the thread and have better things to do than to read it all...

Incontrovertible evidence that aliens exist:
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=1022

To those of you who want unexplained objects in the sky to be visitors from alien civilisations who have travelled millions of light years just to dupe the gullible flash lights at us and don't even stop to say hello, I have just this to say: Occam's razor. Otherwise known as "KISS" or "keep it simple, stupid". If there's a simple explanation (a house on a mountain or a fast-moving military aircraft, some kids with ropes and a board) and a complicated one (alien visitation, aliens with lasers making crop circles), then the simple one is probably correct.

[Babar]

I love Occam's razor. Yeah, when you have a secret government aircraft sending radiation into a swamp that releases gases that are caught by weather balloons that glow a strange colour due to electrical disturbances in nearby towns at night, vs. aliens, it is definitely the first!



And no, I don't believe that UFOs are aliens.

[Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens]

If I ever make an x-files adventure game, the typical responses from Mulder for every case would be:

I WANT to believe!
'I' want to believe!
I want TO believe!
I want to BELIEVE!
I WANT TO BELIEVE!
I already believe...

They're not out to abduct us.  They're here to inform our ancient, juvenile minds about the dangers of solarmanite.
