I'm intrigued by how many stories also have ships voltroning together into giant glowing spheres
That seems to repeat a lot too and is not something popular culture has really chomped onto anywhere that I can think of

If you want a fun one, look up the sighting of Air Canada flight 305 on October 4, 1967, which happened the same night as the Shag Harbour Incident.

Basically there's a bunch of lights and one of them seems to silently explode then quickly cycle through the colors of the visible spectrum, while the other lights zip around it. It flies outside of what the pilots can see, in the direction of the coast, and 4 hours later, something goes into the water off Shag Harbour.

I agree completely, but if that's the case I am confused why more people aren't making noise now that it's admitted at the highest level. I suppose if I'd seen something and been made fun of for years the extent of my response might be "yeah, no poo poo"

it's not like there's any actual answers at this point

the cool thing about UFOs is every time you're disappointed by the news you can be all 'darn, maybe next time' instead of falling into despair from topics like the climate

and kinda reminds me of that 911/weather service call tracking that UFO swarm through (Michigan I think?) posted earlier in the thread

Reported: 12/30/2001 5:31:49 PM

At about an hour into my shift I observed this blip moving extreamly fast. It traveled about 25 to 35 mi. per sweep of the radar. I notised it at the 150 mi limit watched it for two sweeps when I told my supervisor he observed it for one sweep then told me to go outside to see if I could see any thing. I saw it move from the east to the west for an instant then turn to the south instantly and continue south untill it went out of sight. When I went back inside the radar room my supervisor confermed the same thing. At this point I was told not to say anything ,that it just did't happen.

I may have a UAP story. This took place while living in Fremont, Nebraska in 1989 or 1990. It was very late at night ( did not look at the clock) when I was awaken by a the house seeming to vibrating and shaking the pipes in the wall. There was also a bright light, shining through the windows of my bedroom. I was very scared and waited what seemed like an eternity before running to my parents bedroom. My parents bedroom was on the opposite side of the house,. I was able to wake my Mom up, who woke my dad up. When he woke up and opened the window the light and pipe vibrating stopped.. My father stated that it must have been a low flying helicopter that we heard and go back to bed.

We lived about a mile and a half away from the hospital, which did have life flights to Omaha but it was usually in the newspaper the next day when it flew. The noise that woke me up was the water pipes vibrating wildly inside the walls of our house. We had 3 bathrooms, and my room was sandwiched between the main and master bath. Now, for some reason this house tended to get lots of water hammers from flushing toilets or rapidly turning off the shower, so hearing the pipes vibrate inside the walls and having it wake me up was an occasional occurrence.

What ever was hovering over house did not have the "Thwump thwump" or turbine sound that you hear with civilian or military aircraft. It could have been something Military, since SAC was less than 50 miles away, but noise complaints meant that flyovers were rare, we very rarely got sonic booms or low flyovers unlike what happened in the area in the 1950s and 1960s. Thee light was equally bright in all the windows we saw, even though they were opposite sides of the house.

After I went back to bed, and fell asleep, the same thing happened again. I heard my mother yell "Curt, it is happening again!" and my mom got up and came into my room and we went down to the lower level (our house was split level), I would estimate that about a half minute after going to the lower level, the light and vibrating pipes stopped, and everything was quiet. We fell asleep on the couch and woke up with the sunrise. We asked if my older brother heard or saw anything (he slept through the whole thing, but no one checked on him during the whole time). My mom talked to one of the neighbor ladies she knew, and the lady says she didn't see or hear anything. There was not any story in the paper about a life flight or a military flight. A few days later, I was less scared, and I never brought the incident up again.

I asked my mom and dad if they remembered anything, and my mom recalled this happening, but thought it must have been a helicopter because "Their aren't ETs out there buzzing houses. We aren't that interesting as people to watch."
My dad just rolled his eyes and said "You were always good at working your mom up when you were scared, so when Mom saw how scared I was, she became irrational."

I think Carl Sagan was right in saying no one is coming to save us from ourselves. I see a lot of that hope in this thread, even those that joke about it. We have been butchering, raping, and doing just about every horrible thing imaginable to eachother probably since forever and no one has stepped in and said to knock it off. Whatever it is buzzing around out there does not give two fucks about us...

I have never admitted this before, but I have had and still have dreams that I am a old farmer in the early 1920s in Iowa. Among things that have happened in his life is that he was abducted by aliens when he went out one winter night to check on something. Never believed in past life or ghost stuff, have been an atheist or agnostic since the age of 12, but it's like I could write a biography on this Iowa farmer that I dream about.

The problem is, I have PTSD from being born with two buttholes. I had multiple surgeries up till when I was 10, and got butt scopes with no sedative or pain killers, along with monthly insertion of dilators around the time this happened. So all I would do is talk about butt trauma under hypnosis that I pushed down deep into my memory to hope to forget it.

I was raised in a very strict, sheltered, christian household. I really had no thoughts or ideas about UFOs or aliens at the time. I never really thought much about UAPs and other phenomenon till recently. I never have really have had any interest in Sci-fi either.

would the anal probe aliens be more interested in a human with 2 buttholes or no buttholes

The whole “ships separating and joining” thing is compatible with entities from a higher spatial dimension shoving their higher dimensional genitalia into our 3-space and waggling them around mockingly at us as different three-dimensional cross sections intersect with our spacetime. This is described in detail in the UAP fan theory I came up with the other night while I was definitely not high at all.

The higher dimensional entities are usually much better behaved and only let us see the cross sections that we know as “birds.”

we all have suppressed abduction memories because we were all abducted. the uap’s are humans trying to find us but they don’t quite know how to navigate between dimensions so we see them act erratic cause we don’t know how to drive a space stick shift.

I cleaned this one up a bit more than usual cos it's annoying to read without formatting, but apparently it wasn't just F-14s getting disabled in the late 1970s. Also describes something ignoring the density of water well before that was "mainstream" knowledge afaik

Probably a hypercormorant
