Great article with accompanying pics and footage.

This is the best article with what appears to be legitimate pics that I have ever seen, actually.

design219 · Jul 25, 2007, 02:32 PM

I want to believe, but, I also want good evidence.

Dakarʒ · Jul 25, 2007, 02:37 PM

Perhaps if the lights in the picture had lens flares.

Obi Wan's Ghost · Jul 25, 2007, 02:37 PM

The sensationalist article says "100 stunned onlookers". The video shows about a dozen bored people sky-gazing. Two of them are girls who are more interested in their ice-cream. Am I supposed to believe that only one person in the whole area had a phone that could capture video?

This comment from the site cracked me up.

We are not alone! Perhaps they came to look at the floods?

Killing? That's not what I expected.

Bah, nothing beats the Phoenix Lights back in 1997 - it happened less than a month after I moved out here from New Jersey.

Martyr68 · Jul 25, 2007, 07:23 PM

I believe. I think the man knows more than he's admitting. I think the government is in with them, for some reason.

You are statistically wrong, how can we be the only intelligent race in the universe?

Quite easily, statistics can't prove anything.

Kevin · Jul 26, 2007, 07:05 AM

Do UFOs exist? Yes. Anyone that claims that UFOs don't exist doesn't know what a UFO is.

badidea · Jul 26, 2007, 07:32 AM

Yes but this discussion is about UFOs that are unknown to humanity - not just to you or your neighbor (as this is commonly understood)!
Don't be dishonest!

Don't panic - it is the Autobots coming to stop the Decepticons from stealing the Allspark which is hidden inside the Hoover Dam.

UFOs are unidentified flying objects. No matter who is doing the identifying.

So do UFOs exist? Yes. Cause there has been objects out that have not been unidentified.

Does that mean they are space aliens? No.

Dakarʒ · Jul 26, 2007, 08:34 AM

Is that what most people mean when they believe in UFOs? No.

Is typing in a question/answer format entertaining? Yes.

That's all news to me!

You are now disqualified for the "stop being dishonest" posts!

Right, and they are wrong.. so..?

Dakarʒ · Jul 26, 2007, 08:46 AM

Why, because they aren't being pointlessly technical about it?

osiris · Jul 26, 2007, 08:47 AM

Like someone over-analyzing my post?

dav · Jul 26, 2007, 08:55 AM

still with feynman on this:
"I think that it is much more likely that the reports of flying saucers are the results of the known irrational characteristics of terrestrial intelligence than of the unknown rational efforts of extra-terrestrial intelligence."

Dakarʒ · Jul 26, 2007, 08:56 AM

No, like someone trying to over-complicate the situation.

Prove it!

for your record:
I don't believe in UFOs (flying around on earth)! And I mean those unidentified flying objects from outta space with aliens in it! And with Aliens I don't mean the illegal ones from Mexico but those lifeforms that have not been born on planet earth! And with planet earth I mean the planet earth in our solar system and not some other planet earth that might have the same name in another solar system...
Got me?

That's racialist against aliens. As a freedom loving internationalist and intergalactican I believe in equal opportunity for all aliens no matter what their color or origin. We should accept them because they will all pay taxes.

Errr, what?
Just because I don't believe that they have been here (or still are) doesn't mean that I wouldn't welcome them, or does it???
Which alien race do you actually mean?

Dakarʒ · Jul 26, 2007, 09:26 AM

We should build a wall between us and outerspace, to help keep out the aliens. We could call it... a Dakar Sphere.

Wait, how did this suddenly go political?

Nice to see you can be just as condescending as the best of us, though.

Y3a · Jul 26, 2007, 09:43 AM

Come on!! The disbelievers sound like those religious nutcases who say we were created about 6 thousand years ago, etc etc etc.

Just because we are on this planet, that doesn't prove that anywhere else has ever had life on it. Not intelligent life that could travel in space. naaaaa! can't happen. Advanced technology is just a rumor. We know everything, and understand all technology, and realize all possibilities, so this means no aliens or flying saucers...

Kevin · Jul 26, 2007, 09:45 AM

Dakar my original post was sarcasm. Wasn't meant to be taken seriously. Then the onslaught came on and I decided to play along.

Suddenly I am being over-technical and taking things seriously. At best It's just another example where sarcasm sucks on the internets.

I should have known better.

Dakarʒ · Jul 26, 2007, 09:51 AM

Well if it was sarcasm, then I'm sorry I misunderstood. I must not have been paying enough attention.

Kevin · Jul 26, 2007, 09:57 AM

No, it wasn't your fault. Sarcasm and the internets just don't work well. And I wasn't being obvious.

Dakarʒ · Jul 26, 2007, 10:00 AM

Let's argue over the topic sarcasm + internet.

Do you mean sarcasm or irony?
In case of irony this "

Well, then I apologize for starting an argument about this with you!
