What's With All the UFO Attacks?

OK, go ahead and laugh but it's my latest interest--reading on the topic of UFOs.

So in tracking the stories, I'm noticing something: cranky aliens are playing chicken with our aircraft, dive-bombing the elderly, and even injuring a pilot's hand, not to mention an explosion over VietNam:

This first story is from today but if you read farther down, I've posted links/excerpts to other recent stories:


Police chopper spots UFO in Wales

http://www.upi.com/Top_News/2008/06/20/Police_chopper_spots_UFO_in_Wales/UPI-21521214002744/

CARDIFF, Wales, June 20 (UPI) -- A police helicopter chased a UFO after it nearly collided with the aircraft while it was preparing to land near Cardiff, Wales, a source said.

A source familiar with the incident said the three men on board the helicopter reported seeing a "flying saucer-shaped" object encircled by lights speeding toward them as they prepared to land, The Sun reported Friday.

"It closed in at great speed, aiming straight at the helicopter," the source said.

"The chopper had to swerve sharply to avoid being hit. The guys said if they'd stayed where they were, they'd be dead -- it would've been a direct hit. They are convinced it was a UFO. It sounds far-fetched, but they know what they saw," the source said. "They belted across the Bristol Channel in pursuit, but it was too quick. They got to the North Devon coast and had to turn back because they were running low on fuel."

BTW, I believe Google said there were 42 other stories on this particular incident, in case you want to read others.



Then there's this one in VietNam:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2047779/UFO-blamed-for-mystery-explosion-in-Vietnam.html

A UFO is being blamed for a mysterious mid-air explosion over Vietnam.

Islanders on Phu Quoc, close to the coast of Cambodia, heard a loud bang and saw shards of metal up to 5ft-long raining down on them on Tuesday morning.

Local armed forces and volunteers were mustered to help rescue any survivors, believing there had been a disaster.

Officials estimated that the incident had happened around five miles up but airlines in Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand were contacted and all said they had not lost a plane.


Here's a story about an Australian couple who got dive-bombed by one:

Couple: UFO Dive-Bombed Us on Remote Highway

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,363162,00.html

An elderly Australian couple claim they had a close encounter with a UFO while traveling along a Northern Territory highway. Lawrie Fuchs, 70, and his wife Gwen, 69, were returning to their home town of Elliott following a trip to the neighboring state of Queensland last Friday when they say the UFO swooped them as they drove along the Barkly Highway.

Estimated to be about 20 feet wide, they say the object passed the vehicle with such speed that its slipstream forced their Mazda sedan into the middle of the road. They were traveling in a westerly direction when the incident occurred.

"It was about 4 p.m. when suddenly we saw a dark, silvery flash and heard a loud sound as it passed," Mr. Fuchs said. "It was traveling at a terrific speed, very bloody fast, and there was no warning at all. I'm sure it dive-bombed us but I can't imagine why.


Here's a story about a Romanian MIG and a UFO:

Romanian Mig collides with UFO

http://macedoniaonline.eu/content/view/1820/2/

As stated by Romanian Ministry of Defense, there had been a 'crash' in mid air between Romanian Mig 21 and a UFO, reported by Romanian and Croatian media.

Officially, it was reported that the pilot cabin had been destroyed. Romanian officials have excluded all objects that the plane could collide with. They guaranteed it is not a bird, piece of ice, small meteorite.

"We can certainly say what did not hit our plane, as for what did, we can't be too sure, says officer Nikol Gregori, heading the investigation.

Unofficially, Romanian Ministry of Defense is convinced the object colliding with their Mig is a UFO as it was captured by the Pilot's cabin camera. The incident occured over Transilvania, when out of nowhere, the camera registered a flying object that bumped into the Mig. The incident lasted less than 1 second, to be preicse 67 miliseconds when the UFO simply disappeared from the camera's sight. Pilot Martin Mitrica was slightly injured and managed to land his plane safely.

So--why have the ETs got their knickers in a knot? Opinions, anyone?




Cher

What more answer do you need?

By now they know that Cheney plans on using nukes in Iran
and they want no further disruptions in the universe.

Who knows how nuclear explosions reverberate through
the rest of the universe anyway?
Maybe it disrupts their agriculture on their planet?

Who can really say?

BHN

Who can really say?

People with even a minor grasp of physics?

Alienphobic much?

And what about all the folks who wanna be "pro photographers",
but can't take a FOCUSED photo to save their lives?
Do you see lines of NON-aliens lining up to pose for them? I sure don't!

These aliens are the BACKBONE of our once-great nation's
Supermarket Tabloid industry; one of the few industries
that hasn't withered on the vine these last 8 years.
If we got rid of the aliens, that industry would be dead
in 12 months. (Britney and Paris can only do so much; unlike
the aliens, they cannot violate Einsteinian rules of causality)

But you don't care, do you? You'd gladly destroy one of the USA's
LAST thriving industries just to feed your xenophobic phobias.

Hey, does the term "Nazca Lines" ring a bell? Those "aliens" were here
LONG before your ancestors dragged their pasty carbon-based asses
onto these shores, pal!






At this point, I've lost the thread of my narrative, and I'm not sure
just what I'm parodying anymore, so I reckon I'll stop.
I hate when this happens; thank God I'm stoned!

the Cottingley fairies come to mind immediately

That "Bigfoot" nonsense is a myth perpetrated by the Trilateral Commission
to conceal the FACT that our pristine Northwest is a vacation haven for
lower-middle-class Wookies who enjoy the "nudist" lifestyle.

The greatest liklihood is that these craft- whatever they may be- were built by us. If you think about it, whatever technology they're using to fly these things- they've been observed to stop on a dime, make almost ninety-degree turns, and such- makes those crank website talking about antigravity seem lucid. In other words, people are seeing some very, very advanced technology in our skies and not knowing what to make of it (any sufficiently advanced technology will seem indistinguishable from magic, and so on).

However, as to the lack of photos: we're not talking about something like lightning, which is hard to catch on film, but by no means impossible. Even bird watchers who manage to take rare photos know where to look. With these things in the sky, though, nobody ever has any idea where they'll show up next. I suppose, were every single person to carry a camera "just in case", we'd see a lot more photos of varying quality, from the ones you can snap with those 35mm cameras that sell in a little boxed package to professional-quality HD digital stills.

One thing is crystal clear: people, a lot of them, are seeing advanced air(space?)craft in the sky that can move unlike anything ever built by man. Since it's probably a black project of one sort or another, our government is saying "Duh? What?" every time the subject comes up, conveniently adding to the secret conspiracy surrounding the entire issue.

Give it a few years. From the reports we're hearing and reading about these things, it looks like whatever technology they're using is not only viable, but almost mature. Given that, "the reveal" will happen eventually.

(In reading the above, also recall the secrecy and sightings surrounding the SR-71 Blackbird, the B-2 stealth bomber, and the F-117A stealth fighter. Each of those were secret aircraft technology people speculated about that were disavowed at one point or another... but we all know about them now.)

regular, especially when you include the whole world. :tinfoilhat: firmly on, but it's remarkable there are so many.

:hide:

I've always been suspicious of those Martians, ever since they anal probed me.

Is that viewable anywhere?

I haven't a clue what it means, except I'm reminded of Operation Mockingbird. Fear Fear Fear.

The message told in all your stories excerpted (except the Foxnews.com one, didn't go there) seems to be one of power and danger and "air superiority". Yet, the second story excerpt didn't seem that dangerous if the road didn't have other car traffic. The first story was a clear buzz, whereas the military jet is claimed to have had some kind of contact with some damage.

It didn't come out to the public formally at first, but secretly they flew the thing around the world's skies. Later, they told everyone what it was. That's most likely what these things are, top secret military aircraft, not necessarily just the United States', using UFO's as a convenient cover for their activity.

we observed it on at least three seperate occasions while camping at garnet peak. this was prior to the "official" release of the aircraft. it took us a while to figure out what it was the first night we saw it. it certainly didn't help that me and two of my friends were tripping balls on LSD. it probably flew over at least four times that night.

right after I read this post, I saw this one: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=228x41242

Like riverdeep, secret military stuff was my first reaction.

Anybody seen Will Smith lately?

UFOs. It sounds like teenagers, ET teenagers?! That or something/someone was chasing them. I'd think that someone with the technology associated with UFOs they could at least drive them properly.

:hi:

...stay off the sidewalk!!!

eh, no big surprise there, Harkness has never been known for his subtlety.

1) The aliens are testing the capabilities of our reflexes and the maneuverability of our vehicles. They're just about to invade.

2) They've been watching us for awhile and they're bored with anal probes

3) They're hoping we'll feel threatened and band together

I think it was the late great Douglas Adams who proposed that all the aliens we see are boy racers who find it fun to go buzz low-tech planets.

...possibly be bored with a front row seat to the ongoing comic tragedy that is mankind.

Some of their juveniles that have just gotten their intergalactic travel permits are probably just having a little fun with us -- kinda like tipping over sleeping cows.

and they're trying to hump our airplanes.

that aliens would get bored with anal probes??? That's just silly!

It is all quite fascinating.

ANd I need to believe there is some world, someplace somewhere that maybe
has gotten it right.

"alien attacks" will be staged by terrestrial forces in order to panic the population(s) and make them clamor for Big Brother's protection--with all the herding, exploitation, control and deprivation of right/liberties that would accompany such a move.

IMO, Earthlings bear us FAR more ill will than any ETs.

Even if friendly aliens openly interacted with humans all over planet earth it would take years before their technology changed our culture and society. But in one way the alien technology could change our culture and society immediately would be if they had and gave us the technology for free energy machines. Think of the possibilities of millions of free energy machines in use on planet earth not to mention the cars that don't pollute.

all kinda movies on the phenomena

:popcorn:

:popcorn:

Let's not even bother to post links.

and with all the talk of a first strike on Iran, my guess is these sitings are military hardware - drones, whatever.

I don't know, but it always seems best to seek the most logical answer before assuming it's something outside of our known experience.

Not to say there isn't life on other planets, but in that case, why would they want to come here with all these hateful fighting primates in charge?

then Bush can at least claim that the aliens are our allies. Talk about a fighting primate!

Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin see UFOs on the moon.."


The following astonishing conversation was picked up by ham radio operators that had their own VHF receiving facilities that bypassed NASA's broadcasting outlets. At this time, the live television broadcast was interrupted for two minutes due to a supposed "overheated camera", but the transmission below was received loud and clear by hundreds of ham radio operators:

According to Otto Binder, who was a member of the NASA space team, when the two moon-walkers, Aldrin and Armstrong were making their rounds some distance from the LEM, Armstrong clutched Aldrin's arm excitedly and exclaimed:

Armstrong: What was it? What the hell was it? That's all I want to know!"

Mission Control: What's there?... malfunction (garble) ... Mission Control calling Apollo 11 ...

Apollo 11: These babies were huge, sir!... Enormous!... Oh, God! You wouldn't believe it! ... I'm telling you there are other space-craft out there ... lined up on the far side of the crater edge! ... They're on the Moon watching us!

Wilson writes (p. 48): "Binder ends his report with this observation: 'There has, understandably, been no confirmation of this incredible report by NASA or any authorities. WE cannot vouch for its authenticity, but if true, one can surmise that mission control went into a dither and then into a huddle, after which they sternly the moonwalkers to 'forget' what they saw and carry on casually and calmly as if nothing had happened. After all, an estimated 600 million people around the world were hanging on every word spoken by the first two men to leave footprints on the Moon."

The book "Celestial Raise" by Richard Watson and ASSK records the following (continuation?) of the above remarkable dialogue of Apollo 11, which was picked up by hundreds of ham radio operators in the USA:

"During the transmission of the Moon landing of Armstrong and Aldrin, who journeyed to the Moon in an American spaceship, two minutes of silence occurred in which the image and sound were interrupted. NASA insisted that this problem was the result of one of the television cameras which had overheated, thus interfering with the reception.

This unexpected problem surprised even the most qualified of viewers who were unable to explain how in such a costly project, one of the most essential elements could break down... Some time after the historic Moon landing, Christopher Craft, director of the base in Houston, made some surprising comments when he left NASA.

The contents of these comments, which is included in the conversations , has been corroborated by hundreds of amateur radio operators who had connected their stations to the same frequency through which the astronauts transmitted. During the two minute interruption - which was not as it seemed, NASA, Armstrong and Aldrin with Cape Kennedy, censored both image and sound. 'I say that there were other spaceships.'

Here is reproduced completely the dialogue between the American astronauts and Control Center:

Armstrong & Aldrin: Those are giant things. No, no, no - this is not an optical illusion. No one is going to believe this!

Houston (Christopher Craft): What ... what ... what? What the hell is happening? What's wrong with you?

Armstrong & Aldrin: They're here under the surface.

Houston: What's there? (muffled noise) Emission interrupted; interference control calling 'Apollo 11'.

Armstrong & Aldrin: We saw some visitors. They were here for a while, observing the instruments.

Houston: Repeat your last information!

Armstrong & Aldrin: I say that there were other spaceships. They're lined up in the other side of the crater!

Houston: Repeat, repeat!

Armstrong & Aldrin: Let us sound this orbita ... in 625 to 5 ... Automatic relay connected ... My hands are shaking so badly I can't do anything. Film it? God, if these damned cameras have picked up anything - what then?

Houston: Have you picked up anything?

Armstrong & Aldrin: I didn't have any film at hand. Three shots of the saucers or whatever they were that were ruining the film

Houston: Control, control here. Are you on your way? What is the uproar with the UFOs over?

Armstrong & Aldrin: They've landed here. There they are and they're watching us.

Houston: The mirrors, the mirrors - have you set them up?

Armstrong & Aldrin: Yes, they're in the right place. But whoever made those spaceships surely can come tomorrow and remove them. Over and out.

http://www.ufos-aliens.co.uk/cosmicphotos.html scroll about halfway down the page to: Apollo 11:

Boeing has successfully built and tested planes equipped with lasers capable of taking down missiles. Who's to say we aren't testing it on other planes?

really, there was.

I've got video.

Really, I do.

p.s. GhostintheMachine, that was remarkable! I didn't know about that and the hair stood up on my arms as I read it. What a moment that must have been for them!

The famous STS 48 video where a UFO appeared to be fired upon by a ground-based weapon:

Also check out the STS-80 UFOs:

Almost every shuttle mission has footage of UFOs that gets by the military censors.

I want all Americuns to know that your President takes your rectum, just as your freedom, very very seriously. I have instructed the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Sekurity to cover up America's vulnerabilities to Extra-Terristshul attack, and if possible to take preemptive measures.

No one should doubt that the Extra-Terrist threat is real. No one should wonder if their government cares. They in the flying saucers and the terrar training camps are thinking up ever more complex and dieboldical plans to harm your freedoms and your rectums, and so are we.

the UN is going to allow more and more disclosure because they have to...

why do you think the UN must allow disclosure? does this have anything to do with britan and france releasing their "x-files"? what's the interest of the UN? any ideas? have you heard about the UN source A and the clay pickering stuff?

and everywhere else ...especially Walmart.

:rofl: Sorry that's from another thread.

I'm just minding my own business, kissing the green alien chicks when I can, and some homicidal lizard boy wants to kill me. So there I am, running all around this desert planet all alone (except for homicidal lizard boy, who always sounds like he's right next to me, "hzzzzshhhh! hzzzzsh!") trying to reinvent gunpowder when we end up fighting right there at that rock you see in Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey. That was the only funny part in the film anyway, but STATION were pretty cool. ANYway, homicidal lizard hzzzzzsh! boy goes BOOM and I win and get to run around kissing the green chicks some more.

Really happened. I have Polaroids.

The scoutship pilots must be getting impatient for the armada's arrival...

All's I know is they will need help running the breeding pens....I filled out an application and sent it in alrady.

Might be good for you.

One of the best books I've ever read.

However, even Sagan himself said the possibility of alien life exists, though I'm sure he was skeptical of stuff like this.

Oh, they wouldn't want him either.

Is McCain pro-Mars?

They are HIGHLY entertaining.

- a drunk fall off his bar stool is entertaining.

The actual proof that there is Intelligent Life out there:
They haven't visited us.

There's tons of topics in here not related to McCain. :shrug:
