As a matter of fact, I did. I recall seeing a blurb about this in Chariots of the Gods. It was stated but not often reported that non-terrestrial ships were noted by astronauts. In fact, there is a number of sightings by NASA personnel re: extra-terrestrial encounters or 'experiences.' Project Blue Book was originally set out by the USAF in 1951 to address these concerns. The initial goal was to collect the stories and then to set about disclaiming or disproving them in public. The project backfired and ended up collecting far too much data for easy dismissal. What it did do however was highlight what was known, what material was collected and by whom. American citizens were fooled into thinking that their government wanted to know...when in fact it really wanted to cover the materail up PRIOR to information going to the press. To this day, much of the most interesting evidence re" extraterrestrial evidence has been prevented from being released and/or "lost."

Since "UFO" means unidentified flying object, there is really no answer.  Once you believe that something is from outer space, it would not be a UFO any longer.\n\nHaving said that, there is a principle called "Occam's razor."  This principle states that if different theories agree with observations, then the theory with the most simple assumptions is the one that should be chosen.\n\nBecause "Flying Saucers" require many assumptions, such as faster that light travel, ET's, technology we are unaware of, this theory violates Occam's razor. \nSo the best theory is that UFOs are simply hoaxes, delusions, or misinterpretations of natural phenomena.\n\nIf ET's did want us to know of them, I don't beleive anyone would be able to supress that knowlwdge.  If aliens did not want us to know about them, then they would not do bizarre things, like make crop circles, return people who had witnessed them doing their surgeries, mutilate livestock.\n\nOnce, I was with someone who was seeing a "UFO."  It turned out to be an unlit streetlamp reflecting other lights.

Perhaps they are the same floating disks or "ships" reported in 1461 (Paris, FR) 1492 (Over Columbus 4 hours before sighting land) 1697 (Hamburg, GER)\n1561 (nuremburg, GER) 1577 (Basil, Switzerland)\n\nSee "The Annunciation" painting by Cravelli to see ship depicted with the Virgin Mary.

People are rediculous. Non believers should keep their mouth shut about things they don't understand. Nobody wants your opinion. The girl is asking about FACT. The fact is my last girlfriend may have had an abduction somewhere near Pine Bush New York. Which is near where Whitley Striber claims all of his abductions have happened. She isn't very knowledgeable about this sort of thing. She didn't even know what the Roswell crash was. She told me a triangular black craft was hoovering above her car one day while on a dirt road out of town on her way to a pet store. She had her son and boyfriend in the car. She looked up through the windshield and saw the object and then the object vanished and she felt as if she had lost some time. This was about 2 years ago. Pine Bush is known for being on of the 3rd hot spots in the world for UFO sightings. I personally believe there may be something to the Ice Caves in that area, and residents claim there may be a alien base under the town because of the strange things they've seen and banging they hear.

Yes, aliens are true. There is the most famous documented alien abduction case ever - Whitley Streiber's.

UFO???  I interpret this to be anything buzzing in the air that I have no clue what the heck it was,,, but this happens mostly just at night.. during tha daylight hours I can see things more clearly.\n\nDo I think aliens exhist??..The based on a true story movie "Fire in the sky" was pretty darn convincing

The weirdest one I had happened in college. Just before my alarm clock went off, I dreamed that I saw a spacecraft in the sky. Was freaking out in my dream, of course. And when my radio turned on,  the news person said that there were sightings of strange objects in the sky over where I lived!! Around one year after that, I was in a cafe with fellow students and this girl talked about the time she was dreaming about a spacecraft... and I finished her sentence. We totally freaked out!! That was strange, to say the least! I've had a few more, but will stop here or else will write a novel.

My grandfather and cousion both saw ufos to many years before. for real. it was night time and i didnt have a camera, but my friend will tell you the same thing.

Of course UFOs are real anything that is flying/hovering and you dont know what it is is a UFO.\n\nAlien spacecraft on the other hand or obviously real. You cant possibly think that in all the BILLIONS of stars in our galaxy and all the TRILLIONS of galaxies in our universe that there isnt other form of life out there that we dont understand yet and that could possibly be visiting our planet.\n\nHave you read about Betty and Barney Hill's abduction. After they were abducted Betty went under hypnotic regression and drew a star map from wht she remembered seeing on the alien spacecraft. A few years later independant researchers compared the drawing with maps of know stars. And the found a match. Interesingly enough our Sun was one of the stars on that chart and all of the other stars on the map were stars similar to our own sun. And if you arent familiar with astronomy stars like our sun make up only a very small portion of the possible size and colors of stars in our galaxy.

Actually, the first official report of a UFO abduction was by a farmer in Brazil in the 1950's.

Our governement has definately recovered at least three flying saucers. UFO means Unidentified Flying Object, so just about any air-base that runs night operations is a UFO base. A bug can be a UFO, a cloud can be a UFO, if it flies and you cant identify it, its a UFO. Area 51 did house some really interesting 'out of this world' stuff at one time, but it is not known to me if it still does or even if it housed the 'stuff' for long. Area 51 is the focal-point of alot of flying saucer mythology because of an event or two that transpired there many decades ago. Our government knows about this weird stuff, to some degree or another, but will NEVER come clean on it, so dont ever involve them in anything if you find something very interesting. They would just 'clean up the mess' and you would probably get 'rubbed' in the process. The truth, as far as ive been able to piece together, is that the flying saucers and those who pilot them are coming not from outer space, but from within the Earth. Im not talking some Hollow Planet, Inner Sun gibberish here, but it is pretty kooky, none the less. There is at least one civilization of beings who reside in gigantic caverns and networks deep beneath the crust of our planet, possibly near or at where continental shelves pull apart or meet but dont touch together everywhere, or something. I think they, the real 'they', are the decendants of human-sized, intelligent, bipedal dinosaurs who got trapped in caves and found places that harbor life deep in the earth. They eventually developed scientific stuff including genetic manipulation and created the hairy dwarves, 'bigfoot', and 'grey aliens' that are sometimes reported seen. They may have had something to do with our own development. That would help explain why their mind tricks are so effective on us. A random process that developed on a completely alien planet would probably not be as strong as their mind tricks are when used on us.

played with a ouiji board by myself and it moved when my hands were not even on it.\n\ni know someone who claims he has been abducted all his life by aliens...several species, not just one race.\n\nalso know someone who claimed time was frozen for a moment when he was in a large shopping mall. everything stopped except for him. he looked around and saw a women walking wearing a large trench coat and wearing funny looking glasses. when she noticed that he saw here she disapeared and time resumed again.\n\ni also saw myself driving my car. my licence plate, me in the driver seat, wearing my coat and my glasses. i was also in my car when i saw him. we were both stopped at an intersection. i chased him/me and eventualy lost him.

There are Unidentified Flying Objects, however I suspect that the real issue is whether they come from another planet, or are as yet unexplained atmospheric phenomena, or are they beings from another planet, or are they top-secret government test flights, or are the incarnations of the grim reapers, or what? I don't know what they are, but they definitely exist. My money is on atmospheric phenomena\n\nLoch Ness Monster; for the last 25 years, I've been reading everything I can about Nessie. It's one lake, one contained space, and they can't find any evidence despite the fact that they've been continuously observing it for three decades, and scanning it with sonar. I'm betting that there's no Nessie\n\nBigfoot (and Yeti) legends tend to be about a spiritual creature with hypnotic powers over those it encounters. This would put Bigfoot in the realm of the faeries, and so Bigfoot is as likely to exist as any magickal being

I think that personal anecdotes of alien abductions and accounts from former military personnel about supposedly classified government information on alien visitation are untrustworthy for a variety of reasons. \n\nI find the ancient artwork and accounts of people travelling in strange flying craft slightly more compelling, but again not really good evidence. \n\nThe existence of large jumps in technology in ancient civilizations might be taken as evidence by some, but I think it just points to the inventiveness of humans. \n\nWe do not have any good photographic or other evidence of alien visitation. \n\nWe do not have any physical evidence of alien visits, like materials unknown on earth. Crop circles do not constitute good physical evidence. \n\nSo, at least in my opinion, the evidence for alien visitation is very very weak.
