I don’t think you realize how important you are to me. Do you remember how I used to be with this stuff?

But the UFO “evidence” is so silly, so pathetic, and so impossible to follow up on, that it infuriates us. If there were any real evidence of UFO sightings out there, it would be covered up by the level of nonsense that passes for proof. It would be impossible to tell the real from the phony.

I think this is why the reaction against the ‘traditional’ UFO reports is so violent and outraged from all the science weenies. Its not that we don’t want to believe, its that we hate having our intelligence and our common sense insulted, and how so many otherwise good people fall for these lies and mistake skepticism for outright rejection.

It also explains our reaction to religion, and other paranormal and psychic and anomalous explanations of the world. Just because there are presents under the Christmas tree doesn’t mean there has to be a Santa Claus.

Just because I don’t know what something is, doesn’t mean it has to be what they think it is. And when I only have the word of the witness to go on, usually someone who almost never looks at the sky…I just can’t take it seriously.

Believe it or not…I an open minded skeptic….I need rational, reasonable explanations first and foremost because one of my biggest issues of all time forever and always, is having the wool pulled over my eyes.

I can handle what is….well…mostly.

That is why I posted the video. I need the Zoners input. You guys don’t cut me any slack, and I depend on that.

1) A half-dozen bright flashing strobe-like lights in the sky, over a period of about half an hour, on two subsequent nights. The flashes were like a bright star, and appeared to be in the same spot.
Best Possible Explanation: Solar Reflections off a geostationary satellite.

2) Two tiny, rectangular objects transiting the face of the sun’s disc, about 20 seconds apart, while observing the latter with a solar filter on a small telescope.
BPE: Spacecraft maneuvering to dock.

3) A faint, round, transparent cloud roughly the size of the full moon, moving about the same speed as a satellite, seen through binoculars. The cloud was expanding, and became dimmer as I watched for several seconds until it disappeared altogether.
BPE: Orbital spacecraft venting fuel.

4) An hard, sharp echo on a surface-search radar tuned to not detect aircraft (a late 60s analog unit, so it wasn’t a digital glitch), traveling about 3000 miles an hour, and approaching with a few miles of my ship. There were other witnesses, and I have heard similar reports from other sailors. There was no sonic boom.
BPE: Malfunction, or a radar jamming signal used by either our forces, or the enemy.

5) Brief, bright, naked eye, clouds at very high altitude at night, quickly dispersing.
BPE: Deliberate dispersals of wind-tracking flourescent dyes at high altitudes, or venting of fluids, by spacecraft or high-flying aircraft.

6) A pulsing, metallic, amoeba-like body shining with an orange color, seen through a small telescope at the very limit of visibility and observed for several minutes as it moved across the sky.
BPE: A tied-together cluster of aluminized mylar party balloons reflecting sodium vapor streetlights.

7) A sharp-edged, rectangular building, or bridge-like structure, of approx aspect ratio 1:4 (otherwise featureless), seen spanning a crater on the lunar terminator.
BPE: A chance illumination and cast shadow effect.

I can’t tell you what it is, but I can speculate. It is probably an ordinary object or event that the observer has misidentified as an extraordinary one. Or it might be an unusual but natural thing that is not often seen, like swamp gas or ball lightning, a secret military test or a mirage. If it isn’t that, it might be a ghost, a demon, the spirit of god, a time traveler, or maybe a spacecraft from another world. You can’t guess from what’s on that video.

So I guess it is a UFO. But remember, just because you can’t tell exactly what something is, doesn’t mean it has to be anything interesting.
