I'm right with you on this one. Anything I can't figure out is fantasy.
Did you steal that one from Stanton Friedman?

While I dont discount that they could have been alien, I have said throughout this thread and in the OP that I think they were most likely man made. I was not suggesting it was proof of aliens, I was saying its proof of flying saucers. Too many witnesses, government iterference, newspaper reports etc etc. It happened! but like I said in the OP, its a question of who owned them. Theres been some good theories in this thread, I believe a few people have nailed it.

No i think he/they were saying that the light beam got bent. I see your point about the magnetism pulling the car about. That my explain the fatal crash two days earlier. Ron sullivan managed to stop his car so may have avoided something that the other car didn't.

You seem like an intelligent, decent and level-headed person and IMO have demonstrated that throughout this thread, so perhaps you can concede that the title of this thread is possibly a bit misleading? We all know there are unidentified [man-made] flying objects around. There is no debate there. The debate is whether they are ET, and you title suggests "here they are!" You know what I mean. I truly mean no disrespect, it's just that the wording easily leads one to think you are indeed about to show proof of alien UFOs.

If you told me that you went for a walk in the park yesterday and I said to you " I don't believe you , where is your proof " ?
We both know that you would not be able to offer any solid evidence of your walk . You know from your memory that you did indeed go for your walk , but there would be nothing you could offer as proof to convince me of the same
That though is a classic strawman argument. If the park exists, if the person can indeed walk and there is no evidence to say the person did not visit the part then your lack of belief is neither here nor there. If the person said they went for a walk in the park yesterday and Elvis Presley tried to steal their shoes then your lack of belief has justification as an element is added that is beyond an everyday situation.edit on 11-7-2012 by something wicked because: grammer

i do believe that UFO in the video is Government property....i mean just look at it.....it looks ugly i mean...it has a pathetic desing compared to the super aircrafts we see on hollywood movies today. its just common sense even the sputnik looked better. Even our modern rockets and jets have an amazing desing that just looks unreal.
If aliens were really that advance they would surely have something better looking than that 1960's flying toaster hovering above a school if you know what i meanedit on 12-7-2012 by BacknTime because: (no reason given)edit on 12-7-2012 by BacknTime because: (no reason given)

From that point of view it COULD be thinkable that some antigrav mechanism bended the beams, doesn't mean that all trees would have been ripped out as well). Of course it doesn't prove that story....just saying it makes (somehow) sense.

All of you arguing about the science behind the "light bending headlights", quit pretending like our mainstream human understanding of physics is the end all be all of science. IF (and that's a big IF) it was an alien race millions of years advanced of our time, who are we to say what is possible based on our limited knowledge of physics? Saying the guy lied or made it up because we don't understand it is, in fact, ignorant.

Some of the cgi stuff looks so proffesional you cant help but wonder who's behind it al.
Giggling, computer literate morons.
Scientific study leads to scientific discovery. We can learn by doing an actual study on physical evidence. A story that someone told about how his headlight beams were bent is not physical evidence, and until we can go back in time and be there at that exact moment, no real scientific study can be done. Saying it didn't happen because our current knowledge doesn't allow it to happen is the definition of ignorance!

This is how I imagine the UFO communitys response to an actual scientific study of the phenomenon. If our scientific understanding is not enough then quit asking for serious study on the subject, you'll never accept the outcome anyhow.
