Is the best submarine captain, the bestest one in the world, an authority on everything that is in the sea?

If you mean Troy Tempest, he was able to get off with Marina.

Once again, what makes a pilot, even the best pilot in the world, qualified to comment on something in the sky which may not be a plane?

Is the best submarine captain, the bestest one in the world, an authority on everything that is in the sea?

I'm struggling to understand you.

In your opinion who is more qualified to file reports on things occurring in the skies than people flying in it?

So you're saying that there aren't thousands of reports from pilots that have reported UFOs.

If you are saying that then you are wrong.

I'm not convinced about 'aliens' but I am wondering why people in good jobs would wreck their own careers and lives if they are making stuff up.



As I'm into theoritical physics, there are several theories about 'different earths' and given the vast gulfs in space, it seems unlikely that if there were 'aliens' then the distances are just too ridiculous.

A paralell Earth view seems more likely (But not very likely)

Have you any proof of that?

There are thousands of reports from pilots, Naval Captains, Astronauts and various other people.

Have you proof they are all bogus?

I've followed a few and those were not disproved. What do you mean by scientific by the way?

How would you prove observation and photographic evidence other than by observation and photographic evidence?

The standard of proof is on people who claim they are alien spacecraft. There is no credible evidence that supports that claim.

The pilots thing is a red herring. Pilots are trained to fly planes and military pilots are also trained to shoot or bomb things. They are no better eyewitnesses than anyone else.

Another telling thing is that with 3 billion smartphones in the world with increasingly better cameras, there are no decent photos.

And most of the stuff that was put about in the fifties and sixties is clearly influenced by the technology of the time and popular ideas about the future. Whereas twenty-first century humans are using MRI scanners and mapping genomes and gene splicing, the ‘technically-advanced’ aliens of the mid-twentieth century we’re sticking physical probes up hillbillies arses and carrying out physical autopsies.

Any rational view of the likelihood of an alien civilisation being able to travel light years on the off-chance of catching humanity in a narrow evolutionary window and just fucking around in the atmosphere a few times then disappearing again shows it up as ridiculous bollocks.

As for alien civilisations - I don’t even know where to start. The most obvious example cited, the pyramids, are the most primitive way to build a tall building.

From the reports I've read, the pilots don't claim anything.

They just report what they have seen - sometimes with video evidence.

Seems to me that there are too many distances to think that mankind would meet an alien species from a distant star system.

Firstly - you have the ridiculous distances.

Then you have the potential ridiculous gulf in time itself.

Allied with the where once you add the when into the mix, then it seems unlikely that mankind would ever have the chance to meet anything.

Funny how with every single person on earth (give or take) essentially having a camera on them at all times, that there hasn’t been a single clear shot of an alien aircraft.

Not one.

Incredible eh?

What am I talking shite about exactly?

I looked into alien stuff years ago in the 80s and it seemed unlikely to me.

I watched a documentary last night which raised some interesting questions.

You have several high-up members of governments talking about cover-ups that have been ridiculed and ruined by their statements. Why would they do it?

Happy to take any and all answers on this.

Yeah seen this before.

I'm a keen amateur astronomer and quite often go outside to marvel at the wonders of the skies.

Here is a challenge for you. Spot a plane flying overhead (I live near an airport, so see quite a few relatively low flying planes) and take a photo of it.

With the naked eye, the plane is easily observable. I'll let you have a crack at it and then post your results on here. You should have a few planes going over that you can at least see the lights of. Take a photo of a couple - or better - a video. See how you get on

I've tried to take shots of the stars/planets and the results are largely laughable. Even the moon which is fucking huge in comparison is very hard to get a decent shot of - even with a telescope


Taking photos/videos of objects in the sky - even with modern tech isn't an easy thing. People that have tried know this, but should be an interesting experiment for you to try yourself with your modern phone. I look forward to the results.

Just  did one on my iPad.

Easily identifiable.  Could tell the carrier and that it was an airbus.

Great. Post the results on here. Then take one at night and do the same tonight.

I just took a photo of an easily observable high-flying plane which was visible to the naked eye. I'll get the photo on here in a bit.

But what if all tablet/phone camera apps are made by the RAND corporation and set to deliberately obfuscate any pictures of real UFOs by making them show up on screens as Airbuses? I'm sure I read a facebook comment along those lines, and whilst I'm not saying I believe it, it certainly raised interesting questions.

This was a very low-flying prop plane which flew right over my garden.

This was very clear and looked very big to the naked eye.

In comparison, the photo - while identifiable was nowhere near as easy to see as with the naked eye.

:D

My point is that the average phone that people have - although brilliant for most stuff aren't as good at distant objects as you may think.

The majority of UFO shots are at night (Yeah, seems odd to me that as well) and largely look like a bunch of lights (If you're lucky)

I'll have a crack of taking a photo of a plane tonight and see how identifiable it looks through the phone camera - not very would be my guess although I've never tried it

To be fair, I clearly live much much closer to the airport than you!

I reckon I could identify the pilot on a good day ;D

I just went outside and took a photo of the first plane I could see. We used to get loads of planes quite low, but this has drastically reduced with the lockdown.

Are you going to post your photo? Also, are you going to post one tonight of a plane at night?

My point is that the average phone that people have - although brilliant for most stuff aren't as good at distant objects as you may think.

The majority of UFO shots are at night (Yeah, seems odd to me that as well) and largely look like a bunch of lights (If you're lucky)

I'll have a crack of taking a photo of a plane tonight and see how identifiable it looks through the phone camera - not very would be my guess although I've never tried it

I’m not sure why you’re getting so bogged down in ‘everyone has a camera phone’. Everyone has a camera phone....in addition to all the high tech cameras, radars, video cameras, long distance scopes, motion sensors, heat vision etc. As if someone not being able to go outside tonight with the iPhone camera and take a clear photo of an aeroplane is proof of ufo’s ;D
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

Maybe all the ufos have their cloaking devices on? Or is that against Federation rules in this quadrant?

Solved! All UFOs are starships from the future come back in time to take an near-extinct species forward to save Earth.

Also, I now know what I'm watching tonight.

Yeah seen this before.

I'm a keen amateur astronomer and quite often go outside to marvel at the wonders of the skies.

Here is a challenge for you. Spot a plane flying overhead (I live near an airport, so see quite a few relatively low flying planes) and take a photo of it.

With the naked eye, the plane is easily observable. I'll let you have a crack at it and then post your results on here. You should have a few planes going over that you can at least see the lights of. Take a photo of a couple - or better - a video. See how you get on

I've tried to take shots of the stars/planets and the results are largely laughable. Even the moon which is fucking huge in comparison is very hard to get a decent shot of - even with a telescope


Taking photos/videos of objects in the sky - even with modern tech isn't an easy thing. People that have tried know this, but should be an interesting experiment for you to try yourself with your modern phone. I look forward to the results.

You do realise you’re shooting down most of the ‘evidence’ for UFOs with that post.  If it’s virtually impossible to take a photograph of a bog standard plane with a modern camera doesn’t that call into question every picture of a ‘UFO’? Surely primitive photo technology would struggle to get images of super-advanced alien space craft?

“Captain Zarg, I want you to make a covert visit to planet Sol 3. Be careful not to disclose yourself to the primitive life forms that inhabit the planet...”

“Very good your excellency, the great brain. I will disguise my self by switching on all of the flashing lights in the craft and will ensure to polish up the highly reflective surface to pick up every ray of sunlight...”

I think she’s saying: “I am off my fucking trolley...” she’s saying that those pictures of birds, that look like birds... and are birds... aren’t birds but are extra-terrestrials who are disguising their spaceships as birds...

These are the people you are aligning yourself with Andy - fucking  space cadets...
