why ufo’s are disk shaped? and, if there is no sound heard,then what kind of possible power sources are being used? just out of curiosity, I’m willing to know. Well it’s not that i’m a ufo fan but, it just came in my mind, since it has been a controversial issue whether there are alien/u.f.o exist out there, also there are tv programs and news played on tv. i mean what is it, have anyone thought about it that describes best by the technology and science at out disposal.
Hi first of all i would like to apologize on my first post earlier.. I posted the wrong video of the UFO sightings..
Heres the right video and long version of the video http://www.dailypopular.com/?cmd=Yt&p=1&q=florida-ufo&Code=-FeAK-q5Cok&nombre=Florida-UFO–Solid-Proof-Of-UFOS-On-film-UFOS-ARE-REAL
Let me know your thoughts guys coz im start to believe in this video footage…
do you guys think that the U.S. goverment is using the wole UFO phenomenom/sightings and conspiracy theories to cover up real projects? Such as new technology and aircraft the military is working on. One example is that we only learn about the new aircraft unitil its actually tested in the field of battle, such as a the Nighthawk, Predator (unmanned aircraft), and the Blackbird. Also, do you think the saucers/UFOS that people report are actually U.S. manned aircraft for testing?
I’m referring to intelligent extraterrestrial beings (aliens, not micro-organisms).
There seems to be a lot of personal accounts, photographs and actual items (whether accurate or not) supporting the evidence that extraterrestrial beings have visited earth, along with ancient civilisations and records having information regarding aliens.
But there also seems to be a lot of people who completely disregard anyone who says aliens have visited earth and call them delusional or insane.
My question is – can someone please give the best explaintation they have for believing that aliens have visited earth or that aliens have not visited earth with reasoning behind your answer or opinion?
Because I really don’t think THAT many people can have common physical symptoms, thoughts and experiences or them to be ALL real (it’s very obvious some are hoaxes) or all of them to delusional or insane.
There must be more to it – or another explaination at least.
I’m serious about this question, and I’ll be picking the starred question, so the person who gives the best reasoning behind it will probably be chosen.

First of all, understand that the reason that mainstream science doesn’t take ghosts and UFOs seriously is that they are not *reproducible*. This does not mean that they are *not real*. The scientific method requires reproducibility in order to establish proof. However, there are clearly some things that slip through the cracks. Scientific skepticism is very important on one level, but I have a hard time letting the official story of mainstream science shape my understanding of the whole of reality. In other words, I am skeptical of the official positions on ghosts and UFOs. Besides, many of the world’s greatest advances in science came from scientists on the fringe (or that were considered to be fringe for their time period and location). Also, many of the positions of mainstream science have been wrong. Scientists once thought that the sound barrier couldn’t be broken, and it now looks as if the theory of global warming is questionable:

Consider ghosts. Do people have hallucinations? Yes. Do some people tell lies? Yes. Are people sometimes mistaken about what they see? Yes. Are many ghost stories debunked? Yes. However, consider the sheer volume of ghost sightings. Consider the fact that (and this is important) many ghosts were seen by multiple people. What are the odds of a room full of people hallucinating at the exact same time, AND having the exact same hallucination? Very low. An apple falling from a tree has a better chance of falling up instead of down (which is statistically possible … it’s like one in a googleplex or something). There have been cases where the same ghost has been seen by many people over many years. Are they scientifically reproducible? No. Will the claimants win Randi’s alleged 1 million dollar prize? No. …… Are they all unreal? I strongly doubt it.
Consider UFOs. Consider the sheer volume of cases. Many people, including pilots and astronauts, have seen them. Are some UFO cases just stories? Yes. Are some just circular-shaped clouds, airplanes, birds, or other normal Earthly objects? Yes. But let’s be serious – many UFO claims are seen by multiple people, are seen very clearly, and they reflect a technology far superior to anything that we can do. Alien abductions sound horrific, and I can understand people’s reasons for wanting to believe them all to be false. Unfortunately, alien abductions have been witnessed by others, and a while later, the abducted people return with intrusive marks on their bodies, and nightmarish stories that bear striking similarities to other people’s accounts of alien abductions. Like ghosts, UFOs are not reproducible. ET and Casper don’t come when they’re called like a good dog would. Many people have taken photos of what they claim to be ghosts and/or UFOs, but without reproducibility, they may never be accepted. Just consider the sheer size of the universe. Abiogenesis is a very complex process, and the evolution of intelligent life is complex, and all of the conditions need to be perfect (especially for abiogenesis), but despite this, astrobiologists figure that there are probably at least several intelligent species in our galaxy alone that are capable of space flight. AND, there are hundreds of billions of galaxies in the universe. Folding space is theoretically possible, meaning that it wouldn’t take them thousands, millions, or billions of years to get here. It could take them less time to get to the Earth than it would take you to get up from your computer to go use the toilet. Why haven’t they officially contacted humanity? Who knows. Maybe they’re studying us like we would study some animal in the jungle. We can ‘what if’ until the cows come home. The real question is whether or not ALL of the UFO sightings are false. Are they scientifically reproducible? No. ……… Are they all unreal? I’m doubtin’ it big time, baby.
Yeah, as always, skeptics have wiggle room, but bear in mind that hiding behind the official position of mainstream science will only enable you to hide from the full scope of reality for so long. It’s not a fairy tale if it’s real. For the longest time, the Trojans mentioned by the ancient Greeks were considered to be mythical (about as real as cyclopses). People continued to believe this until an archaeologist uncovered the ancient city of Troy in 1868. Yes, the Trojans were real. The city was actually built and re-built many times. It’s located in what is now Turkey, and it was definitely very real: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy
What’s real is real. Skeptics can showcase their debunked cases all they want to. All it takes is ONE for me to be right … one real ghost, one real UFO … out of all those cases.
Concerning the following:
1] The big bang as the origin of the universe,
2] UFOs and aliens visiting earth, or the non-existence of aliens and UFOs being explainable or natural phenomena,
3] The existence of and details involving the behavior and characteristics of black holes,
4] The first moon walk
Do identical standards exist for acceptance and examination by science for all the above?
Urwumpe: The question is about the origin and nature of ‘scientific evidence’ on four specific issues. It is not about what science is according to Randi.
The question is whether the same rigorous standards apply concerning acceptance and examination of evidence.
Please read the questions more carefully. Thanks.
