Message 1630298 - Posted: 20 Jan 2015, 14:50:00 UTC - in response to Message 1630273.  

One evening we were driving on the motorway, Wingdi and I, and we noticed these flying objects who all came from the same direction in the sky. (first thought it was Venus with the first one) At on time they all stopped on the same spot in the sky and just kept hovering for a few minutes. Wingdi has a smartphone that costs over € 300,00. He couldn't take one clear image although the objects stayed still in the sky for a few minutes. How does one explain that? We looked at the pictures afterwards and we didn't see a thing, just sky. This is what really happened, so help me God. And I'm not some sort of hill billy who doesn't know what she talks about. I had one other 'visible' encounter at home, looking out of the window.


You most certainly had an odd experience. But if you don't know what it was, why are you answering the unknown with such certainty?


That's where the material world leaves us and the spiritual world makes an entry. I told you before I'm quite afraid of the spiritual world but it does exist and a lot of answers are to be found there.


I'm afraid you've left me very confused. What does the spiritual world have to do with alien spacecraft and/or visitations?

I talk about the spiritual world with such certainty because I've seen and had proof for myself that it exists. Alien contact is possible through the so called aether. But as you said, this has not much to do with fyzikal visitations of alien species so I'm sorry to confuse you Ozzfan.

been a sustained signal such as our TV and radio signals.been a sustained signal such as our TV and radio signals.


Not so. If it were TV and Radio then it would still be there. Such signals are not detectable once you move out a 100 light years or so. So, If it were an alien civilization it would have been a focused beacon to parts unknown by the sender. What do you all think ?

Well Lynn is said i would let you know and the 3rd episode in the series is in fact partly about SETI and the "WOW" signal .

Interesting what he said he takes us to Halls Creek where there are a whole lot of dishes .

He talks about the drake equation , and i think i understand where he is coming from saying there may not be anybody out there..............

He says SETI but not SETI INSTITUTE , which is where i think i've seen the dishes !!, maybe a boo boo on BBC's part ?

Mister Gooba you never told me you saw Brain cox on Easter Is he starts the show there and ends the show there .

I don't think there has been any intentional attempt to contact earth since we discovered radio. Any attempt prior to that would have been a waste of time for the sender. Now, whether or not a signal was intercepted on that day remains questionable. I think it is possible but not very likely.

The point is we will not ever know what this apparent message was. It was not repeated and apparently there was no recording of the actual signal--only it's signal strength.

I've listened to this on You Tube, posted by various people:

But, is it a genuine audio recording of the "Wow!" signal?

I am now retired, but in the 80's I was on active duty in the Air Force and worked for NASA at JSC. Because of this, my family firmly believes that I know something about the existence of aliens but just refuse to admit it. I can't convince them otherwise. Believe me, if I knew something, I would be telling everybody.
