I love how I used to be so damn interested in UFOs. Despite knowing they're more than likely bullcrap, I was still interested. Lately, however, I haven't been, and to me it feels like the UFOs, bigfoot, etc. (topics I find almost laughable) have been declining in popularity.  :laugh:

Woman Claims UFO Photos She Took Were 'Confiscated' by Aliens | AndersonCooper.com

Quote
Denise, a woman who claimed to see a UFO near her home that sprinkled "alien glitter" on a nearby tree, told Anderson she tried to take photos of the unbelievable occurrence as proof, but said aliens accessed her computer files and confiscated the images.


Then the crazy lady leaves a comment saying she never said aliens took her photos, she says MUFON took her photos. OK, so why didn't MUFON give Anderson the photos?

Joe Nickell was on it.

I saw this yesterday. Anderson did a great job, and let Joe Nickell have the last say. He even mocked it after the segment was done.

Besides the redheaded chick that claimed she was abducted by aliens and kept giving Nickell dirty looks, the best part was the lady who claimed to communicate with aliens telepathically. She told Anderson that his real family name is Lemurian and that they're from the 4th dimension.

Follow up to this story: Re: The UFO thread

UFOlogists have recovered fragments of the alien spaceship that exploded over California. It is believed at this time the spaceship exploded due to a para-anti-imbalance in its hyperbolic energy field generator.

Quote
Meteorite hunters have been successful in locating fragments from the huge meteor visible in the daytime skies over California last weekend. One of the successful hunters was Peter Jenniskens, an expert in meteors and meteorites, perhaps best known for retrieving the fragments of asteroid 2008 TC3 which fell in Sudan in 2008. Astronomer Franck Marchis wrote in his Cosmic Diary blog that Jenniskens realized the size of the California meteor was very similar to 2008 TC3, and so fragments should have reached the surface, just like they did in 2008.Link

i think with CGI now capable of being done on a decent home pc, with fairly cheap software, we are just going to get more and more.
It may be that the saturation will put the professional advocates out of business...heres hoping.

You may not see massive UFO exhibits at your local science museum, but there's no dearth of saucer stories infesting my email. Every day I receive several reports of alien sightings, extraterrestrial plans for Earth, and agitated screeds about the reluctance of scientists to take the whole subject seriously. Plenty of people think they have convincing evidence for other-worldly visitors, and they want me to know.

Video quality: A
Video narration: C
Use of investigative tools: A
Drawing the obvious conclusion: F

This screen cap includes the video the guy submitted and shows him holding his smart phone with a star finder app and saying "It looks on my iPhone it should be... Venus." Yet he submitted a report calling it an "Alien Probe".

Always interesting how they fall into Earth type body forms.
Nothing like this (for example)

Kind of curious, what would people of this forum consider convincing evidence of sentient extraterrestrial visitation of Earth?
We do need a statement "We will accept this" and needs to be something reasonable.

A UFO landing on the White House lawn on national TV would be pretty convincing.
Plans for working fusion and / or Andromeda drives (basically starships pick up particles in the front through magnetics and expel them out the back) would be pretty convincing

This MUFON report sounds very compelling but he made the mistake of including photographs.

Quote
Sitting outside on my patio, I was quietly enjoying my morning while sipping on a coffee at 10:50 am. I looked up at the sky as I always do, and by chance, spotted bright flying objects. In utter disbelief at the peculiar site in the sky I thought to myself that there was no way they could be birds. I then ran into the house and got my camera and was able to take four pictures before they disappeared just as quickly as they appeared. At 50 years of age I have never seen anything like this in my life and had this feeling that this could very well be UFOS as they came in and out of the atmosphere in such a short course of time. What is even more perplexing is the fact that I was witness to this potential sighting during daytime. Another thing to note is when I cropped these objects they look like winged crafts. I am hoping one day I will see more, I am always looking to the sky. I know they are not birds as birds do not fly that high and just disapear. They look like they have head lights on them. What is this mystery? You be the judge. Link

I believe it was Carl Sagan who said, "reliable cases are uninteresting and the interesting cases are unreliable." God knows how many of the interesting cases are really mundane shit like I've posted here but have been exaggerated and confabulated.
