UFOS (Page 4) duncan124: You just need to see the start of the video lori. Ezekiels prophecies were made for the Babylonians and only after they had stopped employing him did he see the Alien. In fact Ezekiel had been tried and rejected by a court and the story might have been garbled because he complained about the judges who in other accounts of trials had been described as being, one with the head of an ox, one with the head of an eagle and one....etc.  lori100: wiki----Astronomer Clyde Tombaugh, who admitted to six UFO sightings, including three green fireballs, supported the Extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs and stated he thought scientists who dismissed it without study were being "unscientific." --------In 1980, a survey of 1800 members of various amateur astronomer associations by Gert Helb and Hynek for CUFOS found that 24% responded "yes" to the question "Have you ever observed an object which resisted your most exhaustive efforts at identification?"[85  Him_over_there: Tombaugh is correct. Fear of being labeled a 'believer in little green men' and the resultant ruination of one's career is a very powerful inhibiting factor within the scientific community. And of course this is no accident; decades of mass media manipulation of this topic and sphere of investigation has ensured any and everyone involved is mercilessly ridiculed. The topic cannot be brought up anywhere without a herd of mindless fools declaring those who see something strange to be insane. And what better way to ensure secrecy and social hesitancy to become involved than to stigmatize a phenomenon. There seems to be a spate of large green, glowing UFOs lately:  Wonderbunny: UFOs are just that: unidentified. We have no way of knowing whether they are of terrestrial or extraterrestrial origin. As for a secret cover up, that would be just as likely either way.  TartanLad: i live about 15 miles from the UFO capital of Britain .... i havent seen strange lights or aliens so far .... unless you count that encounter i had with a strange being the other night ... i was a bit tipsy though so could have just imagined it ..... lori100: All Apollo and Gemini flights were followed, both at a distance and sometimes also quite closely, by space vehicles of extraterrestrial origin – flying saucers, or UFOs, if you want to call them by that name. Every time it occurred, the astronauts informed Mission Control, who then ordered absolute silence.” -Maurice Chatelain, former chief of NASA Communications Systems -------------------After the plane from Roswell arrived with the material I asked the base commander to personally transport it in a B-26 to Major General McMullen in Washington DC. The entire operation was conducted under strictest secrecy. The weather balloon explanation for the material was a cover story to divert the attention of the press”. -Brigadier General Thomas Dubose Commanding Officer of Wright Patterson Air Force Base Affadavit 09/16/01 “Mission control, We have a UFO pacing our position, request instructions!” -Astronaut Cady Coleman NASA transmission shuttle mission STS-73  ghostgeek: "when James Oberg contacted Chatelain's employers he learned that Chatelain was no longer employed by them when Apollo 11 landed on the moon. If he was no longer an employee of a NASA sub-contractor then he could not have been present in any so-called "secret room" where he could overhear the confidential communications of the astronauts on the lunar surface. He was a low-level engineer who worked for a NASA sub-contractor who built the Apollo communications systems. His status as the "head of communications" (as some UFOlogists have claimed), is entirely false." [ http://ronrecord.com/astronauts/mchatelain.html ] ghostgeek: I think, if people want to establish the possibility that UFOs are visiting the earth, that they first explain how such visitations might reasonably take place, given the vast distances that would need to be traversed. ghostgeek: Have you ever driven along Interstate 10 through Casa Grande and spotted a few cross-shaped structures planted in the desert landscape? Did you wonder if they were for orbiting spacecraft to see? Top marks if you did, but only as long as you didn't think they were for little green men in flying saucers. The reality is that throughout the 60s they were part of a top secret government project: CORONA. During the Cold War, the United States used satellite imaging to spy on the Soviet Union and China. Trouble was, the initial images taken by the satellites returned with poor resolution. Thus, a grid pattern of X's were placed in the Arizona desert for satellites to calibrate their cameras. With the all X's being exactly 60 feet wide and 1 mile apart, these measurements were used to make the necessary adjustments in the camera before the next launch. At the center of each X, you will see an engraving that reads "$250 fine or imprisonment for disturbing this mark." Thus we see that before jumping to the conclusion that some unexplained phenomenon is evidence for alien activity on earth, it might be wise to consider a more mundane explanation first. duncan124: As US satellites could see the label on a box of matches I doubt a mundane explanation would be the truth. | Science Chat Room Similar Conversations |
