I saw a UFO once. About 25-30 years ago I was staying a few miles outside a town in the Loire Valley in France. Walking back along a quiet unlit road after an evening out and me and a mate saw 3 lights in a triangle in the sky. Didn't really think much of it but the weirdest thing was that when we moved the lights would rotate. When we stopped the lights would stop rotating. No noise or anything. We both saw it. No idea what they were!
1) The Pentagon wants to level with us about UFO's. Now. When the US President is under massive pressure, and 2) A line in an article yesterday that the "UFO's remain unidentified". Well, yes. Or they'de be IFO's!
"The opposite of love, after all, is not hate, but indifference."
I have a friend who works in a managerial role at the National Space Centre in Leicester and she's told me in the past that every now and then they have the crazies ringing up - either Alien enthusiasts who want to tell them about all the wacky stuff they think they've seen, or flat earthers who ring them up to abuse them about teaching lies and spreading disinformation about the earth and the universe (such as the earth being..err...round). They even have a blacklist of phone numbers that are blocked from their switchboard, so if you call them up to abuse them they'll just add your number to that block list.
I have also heard that supposedly the Government has a secret listening station there with the scientific stuff that is based there but she says she doesn't know anything about that, so its either bollocks or SUPER SECRET.
I did see a UFO over Leicester a year ago or so - now to qualify this - I have no doubts it had a human origin - but it was something in the night sky that was too large and high up to be a plane, and wasn't the ISS as I checked afterwards. I have no idea what it was, so by definition as pointed out elsewhere, that makes it a UFO. My guess is I spotted a satellite or something.
I did see the ISS pass over us in Leicester a few weeks ago, and that was really cool as it was the first time I have knowingly seen it overhead.
I'm quite sceptical about aliens but... for years, there were claimed sightings of the "Mexican goatsucker" AKA chupacabra. The people who said they had seen it were mostly ridiculed, but then someone found one which had been run over. It turned out to be real.
The same is true of the fish called the coelacanth. It was believed to have been extinct for millions of years, then someone accidentally caught one in a fishing net. Ditto the giant squid.
So who knows but per the Fermi Paradox, it's probable that if there are other intelligent beings out there somewhere, they are incredibly rare and their civilisations don't last long.
All of which brings up back to earth star date 2020, ravaged by a pandemic and just a few years away from runaway climate change.
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."
I wasn't saying it was an alien being, I was making the point that no one believed that the unusual creature people reported seeing existed.
