If the witnesses are from varying walks of life and with different personalities, how could they all be "tricks of the mind", especially where two or more people ALL SEE THE SAME THINGS. It is exceptionally likely that in the case of multiple witnesses, they are all experiencing exactly the same "hallucination". There are many cases where the witnesses have never shown any propensity for imagining things and so it is most unlikely that what they are seeing is the product of their imagination. That said, of course when people take drugs or are predisposed to having hallucinations anyway, we can never be sure whether what they see has any basis in reality - but how many people who report such sightings and/or alien abduction experiences fall into that category? Not very many, I can assure you.

I once saw a huge silver flying object that looked like a whale, i remember at the time feeling this was a genuine spacecraft because there was no such aircraft known to man that could be so large and so odd shaped, turned out my eyes played tricks on me as the craft was a lot nearer than i thought which gave it the appearance of being bigger than it was and also to my amazement this was actually a man made flying machine, how it ever flew i will never know!
This is the plane i saw http://www.youngeagles.org/photos/galle ... uppy_1.jpg check out the super guppy pics
Motto is dont assume it must be a spacecraft full of aliens just because you dont know what it is. Sorry to re post but just trying to make a point to the newb that 4 of us all thought it was a ufo at the time therefore " multiple witnesses". Felt a bit sill later to be truthful but there it is

hi all, been studying ufos/aliens etc. for more than 15 years, havent found out a whole lot, but from about 9 yrs old i had this strange feeling that there is something going on... something i really couldnt explain. ive seen ufos, traingular craft, and lights doing some incredible things, all within 2 kms of adelaide south australia. i really think you shloudnt trust the government (usa) about anything they say about this subject. its always about money, drugs, control, war,and politics. they very rarely show any respect or honesty to the world population. i do believe most of the things purported are true or half true, roswell, joint ventures w/aliens, recovered discs/technology (back engineering to produce optical fibre, diodes, teflon, and a whole bunch of otjer stuff). they only do things if it has a military application, never to benefit living conditions or economis conditions for us people. anyhoo, believe what you need to believe, its up to you but i really do believe we are being hoodwinked by certain people and all this 'reality' we live in should be quite different if we were allowed to prosper as a civilisation. take care. bye.

When i was about 8 i was at my friends sleep over and i couldn't get to sleep than i saw a bright orange light shining through my tent, i went out side and there was this triangle thing hovering around above me it was wonder full but before i knew it it was gone.

MY BEST FRIEND AND I WERE SLEEPING OUTSIDE ONE NIGHT IN EASTERN MONTANA IN 1965. WE BOTH SPOTTED A UFO ABOVE THE TREE LINE IN OUR BACK YARD. TO MAKE SURE WE WERE LOOKING AT THE SAME OBJECT WE DECIDED TO DESCRIBE IT TO EACH OTHER, PIECE BY PIECE. WHICH WE DID. KEN SAID "IT'S SHAPED LIKE A TRIANGLE". I SAID "YOU CAN SEE THE WINDOWS ON THE SIDE, A WHOLE LINE OF THEM." KEN SAID "THERE'S A ROD HANGING DOWN ON EACH CORNER." I SAID "WITH A BIG POD ON THE END OF EACH ROD." THEN KEN TOOK OFF HIS GLASSES AND BEING FARSIGHTED WAS ABLE TO GET ABETTER VIEW BY HOLDING HIS GLASSES FARTHER FROM HIS EYES AND WAS ABLE TO SEE IT AND DESCRIBE IT EVEN BETTER. WE WATCHED IT MOVE BACK AND FORTH AND UP AND DOWN ABOVE THE TREELINE FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. THEN IT SHOT STRAIGHT UPWARD AND IN LESS THAN 2 SECONDS DISAPPEARED. NOTHING IN THE SKY MOVES THAT FAST. IT WENT FROM ZERO TO THOUSANDS OF MILES AN HOUR THE FIRST SECOND, MOVING STRAIGHT UP. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A PICTURE OF ONE LIKE WE WATCHED, BUT MY FRIEND AND I STILL HAVE A PICTURE IN OUR MINDS AND WE STILL DISCUSS IT FROM TIME TO TIME. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE SEEN UFOS, SOME OF THEM ARE OUR OWN. I'D BE SURPRISED IF THIS ONE WAS SIMPLY BY THE SPEED WITH WHICH IT DEPARTED. REMEMBER THIS WAS 1965. GOOD WATCHING TO ALL OF YOU THAT HAVE AN OPEN MIND.

Hi shadow. I saw one up in the mountains 62 miles outside Helena Montana. On 2 different times.These were extremly bluish white in color. I do not know if you ever saw some maganese being burned but if you have that is the color of the ones I saw. Both on 2 different times just slowly going over the trees at night.They did not apear to just take off real fast it was as if they just turned the light off and you could no longer see them.It was as if you were looking at me with a flash light on then I shut it off.I would still be there but you would not see me.This is how it was. The ones I saw when I was in Massachusetts before I moved to Montana were the same way except for one that shot up from the ground real fast and that was in North Conway New Hamphire when I was with my brother.If you think of it how many people spend allot of time looking up .Not many just like oh what a nice day or it looks like a storm is coming.Thats about it.Or we glance around for a few minutes here and there looking at the stars.If I wanted to hid a ship to take a break I would just stay in a cloud.I do not know if you have ever been in the woods .I have hid behind a tree and had people just walk by and had no idea I was even there.So it is easy to hid.Plus even if someone sees something like a ship how many people are even going to believe you.They may shake there head and say thats wierd but in there own mind they are thinking it was something else or just think you made it up.The perfect cover. Even if you see a ship most will not believe you so nothing will happen.As far as Mufon is concerned I believe them to be a waste of time myself.They never answer anyone.Its just another made for tv program.But thats just my oppinion which is not worth a heck of allot.Peace to you and yours.

I have had my first experience which was at about 8 to 10 also.I was also in a tent in Groton Massachusetts at the time.There is a possibility you will have encounters of one type or another for the rest of your life.Maybe.Do not get freaked out I have had 11 to date and never been hurt and no I am not on drugs or drunk or some nut case.just one of many who has experiences.And why I have no idea.And I am not any better then you or anyone else.Peace to you and yours.

In most of the encounters I believe people are told to be at a certain place at a certain time.I have had these type of experiences with my brother and other times with my friend Scott.It was as if we thought it was our idea to be in the woods but in reality I think there is something the aliens do that makes you think lets go here or I will just look over there for some reason and then there is the experience . I used to think years ago I think I will go down to Barre Falls tonight down that dirt road I have never been on yet and see if I can look up at the stars and see something.Meteors or things I would think might be satelites.I would get my friend Scott to come over and when we would get down to the woods.Theres the experience . Why else would it just happen to be were we went. I do not think the aliens are watching us 24 7 and then saying ok now is a good time they are in the woods. They must be putting a sugestion in some of our heads to go to that place. So for us we think it is our idea when really it was theres.One time me and my brother drove 4 and half hours to North Conway New Hampshire years ago and then a experience. At that time my now ex wife was with us.She was having a melt down and was crying and would not get out of the car.Only me and brother did and had the experience.My wife was just to scared at the sounds coming from the woods.That is what was scaring her.I had to shake her in the back seat just to calm her down.Just because some people are afraid does not make the aliens mean. It is our fear that is scaring us nothing that they are doing except being there.Does anyone out there have any scoop marks on there body that looks like trianglar shape. I have 2 on the right side of my knee.Not saying all scars are some how made by aliens.Allot of scars are there because we hurt ourselves and forgot how we got them. These scars would look like little flying saucers. I know some of you are thinking oh my God this guy is a nut.But for the few that might have these scars please let me know.But I would appreciate it .If you are sincere and not just trying to play a joke by making it up. I will down load the scars of mine on my knee in the next couple of days. You might have to blow them up. But you will see what I mean about there shape............Thanks.

The point is... You can't prove it. I'm not saying it is not real, at least in your head it should be. But to us, outsiders, there's simply no way you can prove it.

And I can't believe you just by reading what you said. Too many people lie, you can't trust them.

"I saw the flying-spaghetti monster yesterday!"
So? If I say that, does it make it true?

I'm not here saying you're all liars. I DO BELIEVE there's aliens and UFOs and whatever.
It's just that some things that you guys say make no sense at all.

Yes if there are 10000 photos of phony ufos and 3 real ones by the time you get to the real ones you think there all fake.And there are allot of storie tellers.But there are the few that know what happened and it really does not matter if they can prove it or not they know what happened and do not need to prove it.I am that way with who was with me at the different times of my experiences . It is like trying to prove anything good luck why bother.Just be glad you are one of the few that it happens too. peace to you always.
