Ever seen an UFO?

Although I believe there is life on other planets, I doubt they've ever visted this place.

I saw something in a pan, I didn't know what it was.
Unidentified Fried Object. :D

they're in everybody's eggs!

That our military is flying - at least that's my take on it. If you had never seen the Stealth bomber before - wouldn't you think it was aliens?

Having said that, I do beleive the Roswell crash stories and that a lot of our tech was reverse engineered from that crash.

In broad daylight, over the sea, in a part of the world responsible for some significant sighting and trackings. The thing was not a light, a star, or a weather balloon. It was metallic and big.

When I was about 10 or 11 I was outside at night and this thing flashed across the sky. It was a long flash of light that looked like it was flying by. I never seen anything like it then and never have again.

I don't know what it was, but it was different.

the most is the shear talent of our ancient folk. But, us moderns think that it's not possible for them to have made something like this it must have been outerworlded.

History

In 1936, while excavating ruins of a 2000-year-old village near Baghdad, workers discovered mysterious small vase. A 6-inch-high pot of bright yellow clay dating back two millennia contained a cylinder of sheet-copper 5 inches by 1.5 inches. The edge of the copper cylinder was soldered with a 60-40 lead-tin alloy comparable to today's solder. The bottom of the cylinder was capped with a crimped-in copper disk and sealed with bitumen or asphalt. Another insulating layer of asphalt sealed the top and also held in place an iron rod suspended into the center of the copper cylinder. The rod showed evidence of having been corroded with an acidic agent.






An Ancient Battery

German archaeologist , Wilhelm Konig, examined the object and came to a surprising conclusion that the clay pot was nothing less than an ancient electric battery.

The ancient battery in the Baghdad Museum

The ancient battery in the Baghdad Museum, as well as those others which were unearthed in Iraq, are all dated from the Parthian occupation between 248 BCE and 226 CE. However, Dr. Konig also found copper vases plated with silver in the Baghdad Museum, excavated from Sumerian sites in southern Iraq, dating back to at least 2500 BCE. When the vases were lightly tapped, a blue patina or film separated from the surface, which is characteristic of silver electroplated onto copper base. It would appear then that the Parthians inherited their batteries from one of the earliest known civilizations.

In 1940, Willard F.M. Gray, an engineer at the General Electric High Volatage Laboratory in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, read of Konig's theory. Using drawings and details supplied by German rocket scientist Willy Ley, Gray made a replica of the battery. Using copper sulfate solution, it generated about half a volt of electricity.

In 1970s, German Egyptologist, Arne Eggebrecht built a replica of the Baghdad battery and filled it with freshly pressed grape juice, as he speculated the
ancients might have done. The replica generated 0.87V. He used current from the battery to electroplate a silver statuette with gold.

This experiment proved that electric batteries were used some 1,800 years before their modern invention by Alessandro Volta in 1799.
It also seems that the use of similar batteries can be safely placed into ancient Egypt, where several objects with traces of electroplated precious metals have been found at different locations. There are several anomalous finds from other regions, which suggests use of electricity on a grander scale.

...It's always amazing how humans sell themselves short. Our ancestors did great things. We have built on those things. The light bulb and hair dryer and motor and geometry, and, etc., didn't just drop out of the sky. They're an accumulation of 1000's of years of.....our own history.

I was in a pickup truck on a dark lonely road in Georgia. Have you ever been in a truck late at night? You cannot see your feet on the floor board it's so dark. Anyway, out of nowhere came a extremely bright green light shining through the back window, over my shoulder. It was there for less than a second. The person driving and I looked at each other and without a word spoken he pulled over. We never said a word, just got out and looked around. It was a cold, crystal clear night. No houses around, no cars, no planes, nothing. I asked him if he was ready to go. He just turned around and got in the truck. We never did talk about it.

Strangest thing I have ever experienced.

an lightning bug?

I believe they're green.

this light was bright enough to light up the cab. It hurt my eyes.

It was not a boggy area we were in. Mostly slash pines. Slash pine is like corn here in the south, it just takes longer to grow.

Usually when my father was loaded and my mother was pitching stuff across the room at his head.

Skulls are humanity's foremost symbol of death, and a powerful icon in the visual vocabularies of cultures all over the globe. Thirteen crystal skulls of apparently ancient origin have been found in parts of Mexico, Central America and South America, comprising one of the most fascinating subjects of 20th Century archaeology.

These skulls, found near the ancient ruins of Mayan and Aztec civilizations (with some evidence linking the skulls with past civilization in Peru) are a mystery as profound as the Pyramids of Egypt, the Nazca Lines of Peru, or Stonehenge. Some of the skulls are believed to be between 5,000 and 36,000 years old.

Many indigenous people speak of their remarkable magical and healing properties, but nobody really knows where they came from or what they were used for.
Were they left behind after the destruction of a previous world, such as Atlantis? Are they simply ingenious modern fakes or can they really enable us to see deeply into the past and predict the future?

Much research is currently being done on the skulls. However, their origin is still a baffling mystery. They seem to defy logic. Everything that is known about lapidary work indicates that the skulls should have been shattered fractured, or fallen apart when carved.

One is rather suspect because I was doing three hits of acid at the time. But the other was definitely strange. I was with a friend driving around and we saw a strange light in the sky. This was in a mountainous area so we drove to a place with a good view of the sky in that direction and saw a set of lights in the sky with an odd configuration, moving in what could only be a mechanical way. There was a very bright aura surrounding it which is what we'd noticed originally - it lit up a substantial portion of the sky.

I don't tend to fully believe or disbelieve any of the theories surrounding such things. I don't have enough data to tell what it was I saw. But I couldn't identify it, it was an object and it was flying.

And also, - I made a couple of UFOs when I was a teenager. But that's another story for another time.

:hide:

:spank:

convincing story.

Him and some friends took a vacation near Bimini Islands and had met a woman there from Canada. She had told them she was asked by (ufo folk) to come there and she would be picked up. Crazy, I know. They hung out with her and even hired a boat for the day and when out where she said they were to pick her up. Well the drivers of the boat got suspicious thinking these people might be drug runners and brought them back to their cottage. The next day, it was early, and people were just getting up making coffee and such, when one of the group shouted for everyone to come out to the dock. My brother swears what happened next was as real as anything he had ever seen.

Off shore there was a group of, for like a better word, distortion in the sky. Round object's but not visible. Sort of like from the movie Predator when he was cloaked. There were several in the sky and they an intelligence to them, he couldn't explain.

After they had left all of them when inside to discuss this. They all agreed that they had saw the same time. Now get this, this lady from Canada was silent, not adding to the conversation at all.

The next morning the lady was gone. No note, nothing.

i was parking with a young lady across from an electric power plant in my town. we looked up and saw something hovering over the plant.

It looked dull and metallic but also semi-transparent and broke up into three or so spinning disc shapes which flew away from each other and then merged again into a single larger spinning disc shape. Then we passed into a road cut and the embankment obscured our view. We couldn't find it again. We all agreed on what we saw but couldn't understand what we saw. The best explanation I came up with over the years that it might have been a flock of birds flying in unusual formations. It was very strange.

Close up. No sound except for a faint buzzing. Flying overhead at night less than 500 ft I'd say, in a dark sky/no moon, just stars. It had a cone-shaped beam of light coming out from under it as it moved. It came at me through some trees, crossed the road I was on and moved with the beam projecting straight down. An oval black shape that blotted out the stars overhead that tilted to real a row of blue lights moving around it's center. Light shut off. It took off.

I was walking on a rural country road by our cabin on a lake...had a flashlight...thought about flicking it on & off to signal strange craft...good thing I didn't, I guess....felt a presence watching me. Scary.

same experience one evening there, when he was about 12. He described it almost word-for-word as you just did. He's an honest guy, too.

I find it hard to believe that this could be a U.S. craft. The government certainly wouldn't want anyone to see a secret craft so up-close and personal. If anything, they would go to great lengths to make sure such a craft was only tested far, far away from the public. No way would they have it hovering (repeatedly) just a few hundred feet above our heads.

We are being visited, no question. The real question is, why?

Howya think I got here? :shrug:

She and a couple of friend were out there at night when a craft hovered over them, shined a bright light, then sped off. She's swears to it to this day.
But then again, she was out there getting high, so who knows what it was.

but it was just a distant light making non-ballistic direction changes.

But for anyone to think that there is no life anywhere else in the universe is incredibly egocentric.

:wtf: :crazy: :wow:

:D

In all reality, I have seen a UFO here in MN. It was about five years ago. I was stargazing on my dock at my old lake home when I saw a UFO fly above the horizon. It was a really bright, about the size of Venus (it wasn't Venus...Venus doesn't move as fast as this object did)...and it zig zagged across the night sky.

It was weird and sweet to see.

I saw another one out in SD...my dad had also seen one in SD some 30 years ago. Apparently SD is notorious for UFOs...

It's no longer a UFO

beings from other planets...

That's all I'm sayin'....

We both saw what looked like three little stars (orange-y) moving in perfect synch as a triangle. They darted back and forth, like a little school of fish, and then shot off at what must have been thousands of miles per hour. Out of the atmosphere. There is no way, none, that this was a man-made aircraft.

What type of pollen is that... Wonder what model of jet that is? Was that a bird or a bat that just flew by?

But no, not that type of UFO.
