This is my opinion: They won't land, because they know that we could be hostile. After all, we bomb and kill one another, so why wouldn't we be hostile and aggressive towards them? They know we would capture them and put them in a cage. Look at them. Stare at them. Poke them. Prod them. Tie them to a table in a laboratory; take skin graph samples, inject them with needles, etc. We would keep them, and deprive them of ever returning to their communities. The Air Force has shown aggression in chasing them away, so they don't have any indication that we are friendly. They are higher evolved than us; they know as a whole it would be hard for our communities to accept them. Forget government - what is that to them? We have fired at them before; they know they must be defensive when visiting our planet. UFO Investigators Flock to Stephenville, Texas Investigation Opens After 30 Residents Claim They Saw a UFO Flying Over Their Town UFO investigators flock to Stephenville, Texas! A team of six investigators from the Mutual UFO Network will be interviewing citizens of Stephenville, Texas who say they spotted an Unidentified Flying Object at sunset on January 8th. Video UFO: Fact or Fiction? The Mutual UFO Network is a non-governmental group interested in documenting UFO's. State director Ken Cherry says the network has received calls from 50 citizens who say they witnessed the UFO and that the number and credibility of the people is exceptional. The rural Texas town has attracted world wide attention after the sightings. The Local Newspaper, the "Stephenville Empire-Tribune" has received calls from as far away as Finland and Japan as people remain fascinated about the reports of a giant bright object in the sky that witnesses say was a mile long. It remains the talk of the town and the Stephenville High School Science Club is now selling T-shirts to cash in on the craze. Stephenville prides itself on being the dairy capital of Texas and the shirts that sell for ten dollars have a picture of a Holstein cow being beamed up to a flying saucer. Not Just Tabloid News More than 30 residents of Stephenville, Texas, claim to have seen a UFO, described as a mile-wide, silent object with bright lights, flying low and fast. And now it's actual front-page news. So what was it? "It was very intense, bright lights," said local newspaper reporter Angela Joyner. "The lights were like going like this," said Constable Leroy Gateman making hand gestures to describe what he saw when he spotted the UFO. Rick Sorrells says he saw it while he was hunting deer in the woods. "You look at the trees, and it was right here," Sorrells told ABC News correspondent Mike Von Fremd as he showed him the location in the woods where he spotted the UFO. Steve Allen, a 50-year-old pilot, was at a campfire with friends and says the object was a mile long and half a mile wide. "I don't know if it was a biblical experience or somebody from a different universe or whatever but it was definitely not from around these parts," Allen said. Allen drew a sketch of the object, which he said traveled at amazing speed without making a sound. While drawing, Allen told Von Fremd that he saw "an arch shape converted in a vertical shape, and then it split and made two of them, and then these turned into just fire and it was gone." A spokesman for the 301st Fighter Wing in Fort Worth says no aircraft from his base was in the area, and says the objects may have been an illusion caused by two commercial airplanes. But those who saw the lights don't buy that explanation. "It's an unidentified flying object," insisted a former Air Force technician. "It was so fast I couldn't track it with my binoculars," said Gateman. Constable Leroy Gateman describes what he saw in the sky. Some in Stephenville are a bit embarrassed about all the attention. "It's crazy," said one teenage girl in town. "A lot of folks aren't used to this kind of thing. They are not UFO nuts or anything like that around here," said City Councilman Mark Murphy. Like it or not, all eyes are now trained on the sky over Stephenville to see whether any mysterious flying objects make a return. source: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=4142232&page=1 IP: Logged |

I agree with the reasons that you gave for aliens, if they are visiting earth, not landing, Nephthys. I think they see that we can't even get along with each other on this planet so we most likely would be hostile to a being from another galaxy. I neither believe nor disbelieve in UFO's although I have seen some unexplained things in the skies in my life. My thought is that the government always debunks UFO sightings and yet they have departments in our government that deal strictly with UFO's. If they did not believe in UFO's and always debunk the sightings, why would they form depts. just for UFO sightings and data? There is more at this site but oddly enough at this site all U.S. CIA, FBI and other government UFO agency's data has been removed. That is normal these days with the secrecy of everything in the Bush administration. Have encounted that even at the NASA site. The data from all the other countries' UFO investigating agencies is still there. http://www.ufoevidence.org/topics/Documents.htm
http://www.nicap.org/ufoe/section_5.htm
THE UFO EVIDENCE, published by the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena, Copyright 1964 SECTION V
PILOTS & AVIATION EXPERTS If UFOs had not been reported by pilots of scheduled airliners, and military pilots in operation all over the globe, there might be some justification in writing off reports of ground observers as mistaken observations. For, if unknown objects are maneuvering in our skies, pilots would be among the most likely to see them. (Others whose professions cause them to spend many hours watching the skies, such as General Mills Corporation balloon trackers, also have reported numerous UFOs. [1]) Airline and military pilots are among the most experienced observers of the sky. Their profession requires them to spend hundreds of hours per year in the air. Few, if any, occupations require more practical knowledge of weather, other aircraft, and unusual activity such as missile tests. Undoubtedly, few groups of observers have seen more meteors or watched planets under a wider variety of sky conditions. In addition, professional pilots normally are trained in rapid identification of anything which may endanger a flight. Therefore, it is significant that airline and military pilots have reported a large number of totally unexplained UFO sightings. Recognizing that airline pilots have special training and are in a unique position for observation, the Defense Department includes them in the military system of reporting vital intelligence sightings (CIRVIS), as detailed in the Joint Chiefs regulation JANAP-146(D). [See Section IX.] In 1954, the groundwork for CIRVIS reports was laid by meetings between representatives of the airlines and Military Air Transport Service (MATS) intelligence branch. The reason? "The nation's 8,500 commercial airline pilots have been seeing a lot of unusual objects while flying at night, here and overseas," Scripps-Howard reported. "But," the report continued, "there hasn't been much of an organized system of reporting to military authorities. . . [the airlines and MATS] agreed to organize a speedy reporting system so that a commercial pilot spotting strange objects could send the word to the Air Force in a hurry. The Air Force could then send jet fighters to investigate." [2] With a few exceptions, most UFO reports on record from military pilots have come from the World War II and Korean War eras, or from recently retired officers. Military pilots, naturally, are restricted from discussing the sightings freely while they are on active duty. But airline pilots (although in recent years some times under pressure from their companies not to discuss sightings) have contributed some of the best reports on record. There had been scattered reports by airline pilots previously but "In the Spring of 1950," the former Chief of the Air Force UFO project reported, "the airline pilots began to make more and more reports - - good reports. . . In April, May, and June of 1950 there were over thirty-five good reports from airline crews." [3] That June, Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker said in an interview: "Flying saucers are real. Too many good men have seen them, that don't have hallucinations." Flying magazine, July 1950, published a roundup report on pilot sightings, giving them very serious treatment (as did other aviation journals in later years; for example, see RAF Flying Review, July 1957). When NICAP was formed in 1956, four airline pilots (two of whom had personally sighted UFOs) joined the NICAP Panel of Special Advisers. Federal Aviation Agency personnel, aviation industry engineers, and other aviation experts also related their sightings and offered their services. Why are UFOs taken so seriously by professional pilots and aviation experts? IP: Logged |

Nephthys ~ quote: Azala, just curious if you are making a statment that you don't believe in extra terrestrial life?
If you jumped to that conclusion, you would be in error No, I just like that song -- I think it's a funny commentary on what many people think..... On the contrary, I *DO* believe "they" are out there I also believe they have come here: I've seen odd things in the skies when I used to live in Washington State.....~ Zala IP: Logged |

I was thinking that they probably reason that most civilians are not aggressive nor hostile towards them, but they know our "leaders" are. (note my use of the word "are" instead of would be) IP: Logged |

Ooooh UFO's! I've actually seen one! didn't really believe in them until I saw one myself. Or rather, I didn't think about them much, so it was more that I didn't know if they were there or not... Well now I do! Some of my friends think I'm kind of zany when I tell them though, tell me it's an astroid or something. But it wasn't. It moved with such high speed, and was so big and... so suddenly there and so suddenly not and there shouldn't have been anything like fex. an astroid in the sky that day. nop! an Unidentified Flying Object. UFO. Still not saying it's aliens though, note that. I'm just saying it's not something science is able to explain at this point. Or something they even know of. Or possibly want to tell us about. Not going to speculate in what it is, maybe I'll find out about it one day - maybe I won't. Might be aliens. Now that's a thought. IP: Logged |
