Actually, I Think that the only ones that would be panicked would be the clergy. As for the notion that THEY have been here---Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. There is not one artifact. |

I tend to agree with that argument, so in the back of my mind I keep the thought that just maybe ET has been here or is here and we are being kept out of the loop for our own good. The paradoxes of my life :D rOZZ Music Pictures |

Neil deGrasse Tyson on UFOs. Thanks for that. I've never seen that video before, but everything he stated in it, is exactly what I've been saying on these forums. Most UFO have explanations; we need more evidence for the claims; eye witness testimony is the worst kind scientifically; people with badges (police, military) are not any less susceptible to tricks of the mind than the rest of us. Everything I could say about UFOs, Neil just said it here, and better than I ever could. |

There is one video on the page. Circular Glowing UFOs Perform Odd Maneuvers Above Massachusetts (VIDEO) There are a slew of inconsistencies in this UFO video, reportedly shot in Massachusetts. It's unclear exactly when, where and by whom it was created. Shortly after the original video was posted, it was removed from YouTube "due to a copyright claim by Die Hoaxer." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/17/circular-ufos-form-patterns-over-massachusetts_n_6481772.html |

Neil deGrasse Tyson on UFOs. I laughed out loud when he said - "Photoshop probably has a UFO button, now." :~) The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

I remember Carl Sagan saying once(maybe on Cosmos), "extraordinary claims, require extraordinary evidence". Like Tyson said in that video, next time you get abducted, don't forget to steal something off the UFO! ;~) The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

I remember Carl Sagan saying once(maybe on Cosmos), "extraordinary claims, require extraordinary evidence". He was right. Saw an interview yesterday with Stephen Hawking, Carl Sagan and Arthur C Clarke. Sagan told so many truths in his life no one could refute, he was respected by many for that, so will Hawking be, after his death. rOZZ Music Pictures |

“[N]o testimony is sufficient to establish a miracle, unless the testimony be of such a kind, that its falsehood would be more miraculous, than the fact, which it endeavours to establish: And even in that case there is a mutual destruction of arguments, and the superior only gives us an assurance suitable to that degree of force, which remains, after deducting the inferior.†—David Hume, 1748 |

Is this a UFO? Eerie video shows bizarre black ring hovering over village before vanishing into thin air Eerie footage of a strange, black ring floating in a clear blue sky before vanishing into thin air has sparked UFO rumours among sky-watchers. The sinister shape hovers ominously above the village of Shorthandy village, near Astana, Kazakhstan, for several minutes as shocked locals watch in confusion. It then disappears completely, leaving no trace behind. Residents spotted the mysterious phenomenon on Saturday morning. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/ufo-eerie-video-shows-bizarre-5466477 |

UFO season. Please skip the advertisement. Mysterious UFO sighting leaves southwest Bakersfield neighbors puzzled Several neighbors living off Alderpointe Street near Panama and Gosford in southwest Bakersfield say they first witnessed a mysterious blue light in the sky back in February, and again in March. Both times they saw it on the 14th. http://www.turnto23.com/news/local-news/mysterious-ufo-sighting-leaves-southwest-bakersfield-neighbors-puzzled |

'Aliens tried to save America from nuclear war': UFOs shot at missiles in White Sands to protect Earth, claims former astronaut Aliens came to Earth to stop a nuclear war between America and Russia, according the bizarre claim of a former astronaut. Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man to walk on the moon, says high-ranking military officials witnessed alien ships during weapons tests throughout the 1940s. The UFOs, he says, were spotted hovering over the world's first nuclear weapons test which took place on July 16, 1945 in the desolate White Sands deserts of New Mexico. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3195416/Aliens-tried-save-America-nuclear-war-UFOs-shot-missiles-White-Sands-protect-Earth-claims-former-astronaut.html LOLOL. |

Buzz Aldrin wrote science fiction. It is stock in trade to made voodoo quality, speculative claims if you are wanting to create interest in science fiction and your own novels and semi-celebrity status. To wit: "There are billions and billions of civilizations in the Galaxy" "I am certain that we will find another civilization in the next 20 years" |

He referred to a "Phobos monolith" in a July 22, 2009, interview with C-SPAN: "We should go boldly where man has not gone before. Fly by the comets, visit asteroids, visit the moon of Mars. There's a monolith there. A very unusual structure on this potato shaped object that goes around Mars once in seven hours. When people find out about that they're going to say 'Who put that there? Who put that there?' The universe put it there. If you choose, God put it there… Well, I would like to read his book. The Apollo hoax stuff is interesting. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

The Apollo hoax stuff is interesting. The Aldrin Wiki link cited something about him getting upset with an Apollo conspiracy theorist. I imagine that would be frustrating after so many years. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |
