    I saw a bunch of UFOs many years ago. I was driving at night and saw a series of bright red lights streak across the sky. This happened continuously for the next half hour. I couldn't imagine what they could be.

    Found out the next day that the nearby airbase was doing night exercises with live ammo. What I saw was tracer fire.

    Just 'cause you can't explain it doesn't mean it has to be aliens.

    Many people just don't know how plain and explicit the matter has become with regard to some people in authority - like Ben Rich of Lockheed R&D, for example.

    The matter has remained unadmitted because the US government may kill people who expose important secrets.

    If you doubt that is true, take a look at the warning sight on the border of Area 51 :" use of deadly force authorized".

    I realize it is a sort of 'argument from silence' but I believe the continued existence of our global civilization is strong evidence that someone or something is 'guarding' the earth to prevent WW3 or similar mass destruction. There have been too many 'close calls' to be otherwise -and UFO's by tradition seem very interested in nuclear power/weapons.

    metatron: " If you doubt that is true, take a look at the warning sight on the border of Area 51 :" use of deadly force authorized".

    Have you considered the possibility that the government was driven to put up that sign to keep the nut jobs out? A simple keep-out sign was probably too subtle for them.

    It's similar to the reason people put up "vicious dog" signs on their property even if they don't have a dog. It's to keep out those who insist on trying to get in, like the dubs.

    "The plain consequence is (and it is a general maxim worthy of our attention), 'That no testimony is sufficient to establish a miracle, unless the testimony be of such a kind, that its falsehood would be more miraculous than the fact which it endeavors to establish.'"

    David Hume (1711-1776)

    there's a new book coming, "Darwin's Doubt." Suppose to be a game changer and paradigm shift in the Creation vs. Evolution debate.

    I can't wait............

    Uh, when a government clearly posts its intention to KILL someone and backs it up with zealous armed patrols 24/7 - and refuses to tell the Consitution's "Commander-In-Chief" about what it has - YES, I take it seriously.

    Think Jews in Germany told themselves, "Yeah, that guy Hitler? Don't take his official printed word seriously, it'll just blow over". ? Or maybe west coast Japanese property owners before WW2?

    I think all of us are in danger of not knowing the difference between what our brain tells us is real and what really is actually real.

    When Galileo began writing and discoursing on the heavens in an unacceptable way he offered the telescope he had improved to the

    point where actual observation could verify his claims.

    The Church authorities pointed out to him that it was the telescope itself that was fooling him!

    The means by which we discover and prove is the thing that fools us---that was their thesis.

    Isn't that really what the brain is?

    I just heard accusations that the tiny alien associated with the movie 'Sirius' is probably a spider monkey. Very disappointing, if true. I thought they had the DNA thing nailed down.

    Darwins doubt, a preview at amazon:

    'When Charles Darwin finished The Origin of Species, he thought that he had explained every clue, but one. Though his theory could explain many facts, Darwin knew that there was a significant event in the history of life that his theory did not explain. During this event, the “Cambrian explosion,” many animals suddenly appeared in the fossil record without apparent ancestors in earlier layers of rock.

    In Darwin’s Doubt, Stephen C. Meyer tells the story of the mystery surrounding this explosion of animal life—a mystery that has intensified, not only because the expected ancestors of these animals have not been found, but because scientists have learned more about what it takes to construct an animal. During the last half century, biologists have come to appreciate the central importance of biological information—stored in DNA and elsewhere in cells—to building animal forms.

    Expanding on the compelling case he presented in his last book, Signature in the Cell, Meyer argues that the origin of this information, as well as other mysterious features of the Cambrian event, are best explained by intelligent design, rather than purely undirected evolutionary processes.'

    Meyers book is an intelligent design arguement. Don't know how that is a game changer. Its a variation, if he says aliens did it. Could be capitalising on the prometheus movie.

    Satanus: Then where did the alien life come from, and how did it originate from non-life? It just kicks the can back.
