UFO du jour



I don't know what's more interesting, these UFO videos or the debates that follow them. Tabula Rasa, indeed. Too many people (like those two NJ dimwits) seem to forget that UFO does not equal alien. Especially nowadays.

Its interesting how we can have our own choices & live or die by them, but when it comes to this human facility many people out there are just making assumptions its an "either-or" scenario. With the left brain legions, its all about the abundant generalizing & pseudoskeptic mentality of SCICOP (actually now CSI. No kidding, maybe they think it gives them cred!) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCICOP . I have coined the term "psudeoskeptic" because the pseudoskeptic approach is that of the truly unscientific, ardently refuting evidence or refusing to acknowledge anomalies due to dogmatic preconcieved notions of what is plausible or not. (NASA, Bill Nye, Michael Shermer those types)

UFOs do not necessitate alien beings, despite some of them being so advanced - STS footage, turnabout, speeding "shooters" in particular. Considering mankinds questionable heritage ( which Lloyd Pyes work points out so well)....this is something we all are going to be coming to grips with very soon.

I mistakenly wrote "I coined the term psudeoskeptic" . I highjacked that term! With good reason.....

from the wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCICOP

"Some criticism has also come from within the scientific community and at times from within CSI itself. Marcello Truzzi, one of CSICOP's co-founders, left the organization after only a short time, arguing that many of those involved “tend to block honest inquiry, in my opinion. Most of them are not agnostic toward claims of the paranormal; they are out to knock them. [...] When an experiment of the paranormal meets their requirements, then they move the goal posts.” [3] Truzzi coined the term pseudoskeptic to describe critics in whom he detected such an attitude.[17]"

This is all very interesting. So many things that cannot be explained. Two strange encounters I had were with a distinct, yet extremely small object (it was a very high altitude it seemed) yet very bright. It moved at an incredibly high speed, changed direction three times to form an equilateral triangle and then shot off into the outer atmosphere at an impossible speed. It was just so small (from my perspective) that I doubted it actually occurred. If it wasn't for it being so distinctly bright.

And then a truly spooky very close encounter with ball lightning. That shit radiates power. And inspires fear. Out my back yard at night having a cigarette after a noticably electrically charged sky that evening (unlike anything I have ever seen), a solitary ball of plasma floated on past my head; silently, went down the street, made a right angle turn, drifted, made another right angle turn, and went back up the other street as if looking for something. And then was seen no more.

Those who encounter always seem to say ball lightning has a life of it's own. It just reminded me of the appearance of those lights in the video.

I should amend though. The picture I included in my previous post was not one I took of the sky that day. It is just one I found that illustrated the type of sky I saw that evening. Though it was for more pronounced than that photo. Rows and rows, and deep banks of textured, unnatural cloud formations. At least it seemed unnatural.

I've never seem anything like that evening's sky. I wish I'd had a camera for it.
