It's no UFO

It was the New Supercharged GTH ( intercooled version ) being tested in the middle east. It was tethered to the ground - but eventually , its brute force and immense TORQUE broke it free......FPV have comissioned NASA to track it and bring it back down so that they can get some telemetry readings for their next tuning session............

And YES.....the bright lights were the revised PHILIPS Crystal BLUE VISION globes that are ever so popular. FPV may also be receiving a Fine for using the incorrect wattage, as there were many complaints by Jewish motorists that they had their vision obscured by the light.......FPV are now considering lowering the wattage for safer driving.

I believe in UFOs, I’ve seen one and even have a picture of it.

Like all UFO pics, it must be in black and white, it’s a bit blurry and a little hard to figure out the form but I don’t care what the FBI and CIA say about it. I’ll post it here for the world to see.

Then you will all know the truth. They are out there.

Not necessarily the captured video, more on par with personal experiences.

Well thoughts on dimensions in detail would be a long OT post in itself, however as a whole overview I do believe links and similarities between ET encounters, white light experiences, religious experiences, OBE's, NDE's, paranormal, DMT, Psilocybin, other Entheogens, tryptamines and hallucinogens are more than coincident and delusion. I believe these are experiences within other dimensions, or states of mind/consciousness, and much like how Sagan explained dimensions back in the day with a flat house, apple and an ink stamp, we are simply only able to sense and experience what we are aware of, what we are knowledgeable of and what we understand around us.

I know many people who can see the wind as a form of energy, see entities and orbs and I myself have seen or experienced multiple things as well. These are the most switched on people that I encounter traveling around.
To me, I find it is much a state of mind than anything else and that the unnatural world that we are building up around us leads to disconnection with nature, the Universe and this state of mind, something we have been connected with since the beginning of time. That it is creating an illusion of what the reality of the Universe is and our place and capabilities as natural beings in our natural environment. I think the more we see the world through telescopes and computers the less we see of it inside of us.
To understand why I believe that's an important point, when I experience an OBE I am floating through the cosmos, feeling entirely connected with it, more-so than viewing an image and feel much wiser from my experience than reading a book or learning some equations. This is not to say that our technology is not important in understanding our existence, but that it is simply only one part.

I also think there is a lot for the human race to discuss openly when it comes to new, or rediscovered in different light, understandings of neuroscience, quantum mechanics, string/M-theory, consciousness (I know that's like a test word in the scientific community) and simple Universal truths and experiences, universal that they belong to all of us. That's where my thoughts stem from in terms of experiencing other dimensions, and complete explanations I believe lie in these together.
I basically wonder what would happen if a Monk practiced in transcendental meditation and reaching the astral plain were to study quantum mechanics, or vise versa. Perhaps if Michio Kaku were to take more hallucinogens!

That was longish anyway, phew! Peace.

Anyone seen "Chariots of the Gods"?? One of my favourite UFO documentaries. Very thought provoking.

Watched another doco hosted by Richard Karn ('Al' from Home Improvement). I think in that one he was also in Egypt looking at stone monuments thousands of years old. Intricate patterns that locked together so well he couldn't find a gap anywhere wide enough to allow in his pocket knife blade.

Some things, we may never know....

Reading the book series at the moment, haven't seen the doco though!

To look at our own planet and see all the different types of life. People, birds, fish, plants, insects, etc... They all have adapted to their environment. Then look at the known universe, let alone the unknown. How can we possibly say there that there is no life out there? Just becasue we could not live on some of those planets out there doesn't mean that another form of life can't adapt to it. I'm not saying I belive in little green men, but something has to be out there and the only thing that holds us back from finding out is our own technology.

I believe that it can be done and the link below suggests that we have the theories to do it (from revese engineering UFOs) we just don't have the technology. The human race are a greedy, selfish bunch partly to do with life's need to survive. The question is, will we be able to advance enough to find the technology required for interstellar travel or will we destroy ourselves first. Apon achieving such technology and finding life outside our planet, will our alien neibours welcome us with open arms or, knowing our warish history, see us as a threat and wipe us from existance.

I think there's a half decent chance we'll find life within our own Solar System. 2 moons orbiting Jupiter and 2 moons orbiting Saturn are considered very good candidates. If we find life there it's reasonable to conclude that the universe is absolutely teaming with it.

Someones been watching A Travellers Guide to the Planets. Good Show.

The subject is one of great interest for me but also one of the most disappointing. Basically in our life time there is so much that wont be answered and we will never know. Very Frustrating. LIke the TV show Lost, it sucked me in the first season and then the questions just kept mounting with no answers.

Yes. It would be good to drop in after a few hundred years and see what was discovered.

There's still the depths of the ocean that havent been fully explored yet either.

Never heard of it.

Been interested in astronomy for about 30 years tho, ever since the day I saw Saturn's rings through a telescope in primary school.

I have a similar experience. I saw Halleys Commet back in 1986 with a borrowed telescope from my uncles school. I have every intension of seeing it again since there are not many people who get a change to see it twice.

Well you could with a time machine.

But unfortunately whenever a time machine gets invented people from the future who understand just how stupid, gullible and dangerous we are come back and destroy it then start conspiracy theories like "global warming" so we waste huge amounts of time and energy achieving nothing until we eventually evolve and are smart enough to recognise when we are being lied to and don't get sucked in..........

I don't like the fact that when us as humans, when we can't explain something, it must be paranormal, sorry I'm a giant sceptic.

I'm not ruling out the possible possibility (?) that there could be something else, but for example; something touch me at night, must be a ghost or there is a light in the sky, has to be a ufo, I think it is unfortunate.

I'm not wanting to start a war between believers and the non believers...

Just like the panther sightings they get every now and then, it is always shaky, and taken from at least 48km away.

If I see a black cat, that looks huge, I will risk my life to get up closer to it so I can prove it is a panther or not...
