    I have never believed in extra terrestrials visiting us, always thought it was easily influenced, weak minded buggers with a vivid imagination. I am now slowly changing my mind, either that or I’m losing the thing. We arrived in Southern Spain on Monday last, at my daughter’s here in the mountains an hour from Malaga. The next day I took her dog for a walk early in the morning along a path cut out of the mountains, absolutely ridiculously beautiful up here. That night I was asked to take him out again, off we popped, the sky here on a night is literally as glass, you get such a brilliant view of the stars, so clear. I stopped on the path and was looking up to my left and noticed a large round bright object, totally still. My first thought was a star but as it was really big and seemed a lot closer, thought it might be a plane or something. This thing was perfectly round, looked like a mini moon. As I looked it started to move but with not a single sound, you could literally hear a pin drop. As it moved through the sky I just stood and stared. It went through a gap in the mountains and headed out to the Mediterranean sea, across to Africa, then just disappeared. It seemed to be hovering before it took off across the sky but the really weird thing was about 2 minutes after it disappeared, a plane came from the same direction where I first saw it. I could see it’s flashing light underneath. I’ve been trying to explain it to myself all week but come up with the same explanation, I have no ****ing idea what it was….. U.F.O’s, do I now believe in them ? Jury’s out on that one…

    Maths says that other life in the Universe is almost certainly existent.


    It also says that the chances of other lifeforms being able to travel to Earth is infinitesimal.



    Basically Red, I'm no ****ing help to you at all.


    Sorry.

    If you name a UFO, then it's just an FO

    If you see it on the ground, it's just an O.

    They live in secret bunkers, look out for the road signs.

    This. It's incredibly likely that life exists outside of our planet. That being said, if they were technologically advanced enough to travel to our planet, we'd know about it for certain. The argument that there are lifeforms advanced enough to travel to this planet but only by accident because 'they got lost' is just a bit silly.

    If they were technologically advanced enough to travel the universe, I doubt they'd be interested in us, as to them we'd be primitive amoebas.

    An Alien invasion force might not be that intimidating, if, as Douglas Adams imagined...


    “the mighty ships tore across the empty wastes of space and finally dived screaming on to the first planet they came across - which happened to be the Earth - where due to a terrible miscalculation of scale the entire battle fleet was accidentally swallowed by a small dog.”

    Simple explanation. Sounds like some one launched a Chinese lantern.

    So. They have the intelligence and technology to travel unimaginably vast distances and when they get here, do they talk with the leaders and thinkers.......
    No they buzz Bubber and Billie Joe in Small Town Arkansas, abduct them and insert probes where probes really shouldn't go without consent

    Oh well I suppose alians have teenagers as well

    Well, the official designation is now UAP, because UFO apparently wasn't vague enough. <laugh>

    It could have been a Chinese Lantern, but then if it was far away it shouldn't have looked big. Sometimes far away helicopters that are shining search lights (you said you were by the sea, could have been coastguard?) can often look like larger stars shining extra bright.

    It all sort of changed in 2020, because the UK, Canada, Australia and the US released most of their UAP files to the public domain. The USA has admitted that some of the phenomena captured are experimental aircraft, such as the USS Nimitz footage. There are some that are still unknown or unclassified and aren't claimed by any country, but are likely black projects that are preparing for exo-defence (something which a few countries, us included - see UK Space Command-, are now pouring money into rather quickly). It's also helped explain some of the previous sightings such as the Rendlesham Forest incident, which for years was touted as an actual UFO sighting.

    I used to do a radio show on the subject (which involved speaking to various semi famous - in the UFO community - people, some of which were genuinely intelligent people. Some were batshit mental, but hey, you have to hear it all.) and it led me to some pretty interesting stuff. Of course, it got lambasted on here, which was pretty much what I expected from this lot <laugh>, but speaking to some of the scientists who have worked in aerospace engineering, there seems to be a feeling that there are craft in the skies at the moment which are way more advanced than your standard planes, even beyond what we would define as "hi-tech military weaponry". You don't see them because they don't just fly them around, but occasionally you'll get a whistleblower who worked on it or you get a sighting out in the middle of nowhere. 95% of all UAP sightings are immediately explainable, the remaining 5% are nearly always military in nature so it's impossible to say what they actually are because those projects are so airtight even the PM doesn't have access.

    The best I can tell you, honestly, is to abandon the word belief and look for the truth. Belief tends to have bias, which then leads to acceptance of more tenuous concepts which can lead you away from what you're trying to find out. UAPs absolutely exist, the question of whether there are extraterrestrials/extradimensionals piloting them is another matter entirely, and one we won't likely ever find out.

    Well ****. Clearly the creators of UK Space Command were born in the late 90s.

    Very interesting thank you, I personally think it was definitely not a plane etc, no Chinese lantern ever moved like that lol. It was the way it moved that got me, from a hovering start to moving across the night sky in an exact line heading for the gap in the mountains and then just disappearing, it was a woh!! Moment for me and I’m not the sort that does that, except maybe the first time I saw my mrs, like getting hit by a truck, where did that truck come from ??? Boom !!!

    You just had to give him your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle and you'd have been fine.
