UFOs Invade Town In NT Australia

I have to say...if a UFO was buzzing my place I would probably be too hyped up to think about getting a camera. I mean...its so easy for us to sit back and say "well there were 112 people in that town and no one had a camera??" but I am pretty sure that if a spacecraft from another world was hovering over my house, I would have more on my mind than looking for the camera.

Plus, if I was an alien visiting a planet like this I would do the EXACT same thing. Bugger going to a major city...I would just hang out around a small town and get a laugh out of blowing the wind up the locals.

Regardless of all this though...I think its cool.

I was posted to Robertson barracks in Darwin. Currently the army are testing new UAV's. the army ARDU have several prototypes that are being put through there paces which would easily be mistaken by the small comunities around the training areas for ufo's. As well id like to add, a lot of experimental hardware is tested in the northern terittory which, from my experience if i wasnt in the know" at the time i would have thought they were alien too

UAVS DON"T HOVER FOR SEVERAL HOURS OVER PEOPLES HOMES!!!

Great find, my brother is heading to the NT for a few weeks tomorrow. Wonder if he'll see anything...

true but thats if the story isnt exagurated these things can stay in the air for periods upto 18 hours and the prototype vtosl uav do hover. some of the operators could of been screwing around with the locals these sorts of things arnt rare

their heeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeee!!!!!

:O

This is maybe a mass hysteria phenomenon, or a true story. No one can tell unless you go there or talk to the witnesses. Don't you think there'd be tv footage of people telling their story?

I consider this a hoax, as I ( and lots of ATSers ) have a strong tendency to doubt every single thing we're told, proof or not

Apparently the ET's cosmic catylatic converter must have been giving them trouble or they dropped a muffler during entry. (that explains the loud noise) No invasion, just a roadside fix.

We could drag this thread out for days and it won't matter. Still No pictures or anything. I still have a hard time believing that a UFO could hover over a town for HOURS and NOT ONE person gets it on camera. 20 Minutes and no photo? Thats acceptable. But hours? Christ, even most cellphones have cameras on them these days.

Are you telling me that not one person in that town had a cellphone? Wake up people.

Is there a satellite imaging service that could be accessed at that date and time? That would be about the only way to prove this story. Until then , its just another UFO article of something some people saw. I'll throw it on top of this stack of thousands of others.

I said it before and I will say it again.. we have become so skeptical that unless it happens directly to us we don't believe it, and then we are taught not to believe ourselves either (must have been a dream, right?).

The Wilson's never had their camera either, and neither did Travis Walton, or any of the guys with him on the mountain. Gee Travis was gone so long he could have sent a post card...

Its like saying gee what did I do with the hand recorder, while your daughter is being possessed. Or how about "I should have brought my holy water" while your shopping and someone starts writhing and spitting out Latin in the parking lot. Come on guys... give some people a little credit.

Some of these have to be true, there is too many of them. When I read these posts, I understand being a skeptic (really I do), I get so mad cause there is no lei way given.

Anything is possible and it seems it did happen.
Did you ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe no one brought out a camera because they maybe no one did have one. It is possible? Or maybe they all assumed someone else might be taking photos. It could be... anything could be.... UFOs could be... aliens could be...

Anyways, if there was a camera and someone took photos we would hear: the photos aren't clear, looks like a plane, looks fake to me... etc... Do you really think a photo would have made any difference?

Oh and if you did read the article, I believe it said it was a town of 712 people... why would they need a cell phone? They could yell in their front yards and have the whole town hear.

Um...gee, lemme think...to call the police in case someone's got a gun to your head? To call an ambulance in case you fall and hit your head? Yeah very funny, lol lolo lol all the way home. Hooray for ignorance!

If they couldn't see the crafts because of the brightness of them then what makes you think a camera would. I would be more worried about my family then trying to take a picture. It's like we can't accept a sighting even if the whole world saw it and testified to it. Makes me wonder if the phone stopped working then maybe the camera's/video recorded didn't work either. Who knows? It's their experience, not ours. That's why if I see something like that and I'm alone, " you can forget about me talking to others about it". It would be for me and me only. There's no telling what they actually saw. It could of been military or alien, but I believe they saw something.

Its not that I don't believe something happened. I'm willing to give these people the benefit of the doubt. But if you're going to tell me that you believe that 712 people stared at a craft for HOURS and didn't think to take one picture, I would say thats ignorance. Period.

The probabilities are stacked against this case on sheer numbers. I cant ignore it.

I think people are making assumption and being rather judgemental.Not everybody is au fait with the UFO world.Taking this story as read is it too much too believe that people would be shocked,frightened and confused.Probably too worried about their kids to think about taking photos they must have told somebody otherwise we would'nt be talking about it.I have my reservations anyway.I think there's alot of psy-ops and Bluebeam stuff going on at the moment -my bull# detector is brying the needle.

Families spent hours in fear as what appeared to be three spaceships hovered in the distance with another just metres above their houses.

I guess if its in print, it must be true

yup, even after a full hour of shocked and stunned disbelief, they would still have had another hour for someone to actually think about recording this and run and get a camera or even a digital or video recorder...or are these people quakers or mud hut people? sounds like a hoax to me.

As for the idea that people were to freaked-out to take photos... forget it.
Some of the horrible ( and wonderful ) things people are catching with digital these days are incredible. Yet...
The whole thing ( if ETs were involved ) , could have taken a split second, or may not have happened physically ( as we know it ) at all .
Sorry to be a sceptic, but would this sort of thing be good for tourism?
The give away is the statement ' seemed like two hours ' ( paraphrase)- it wasn' t ' estimated at two hours ' or ' witnesses stated that it was approximately two hours'. Wrong or unusual syntax for a journalist.
