Really? So does that mean when I burnt my toast this morning, it wasn't because I put the bread in the toaster too long but because an alien abducted me....

Whenever there is an unexplained event, always expect that aliens are at work. They're everywhere.

How pathetic, someone posts an interesting bit on UFO's and gets railroaded by political BS. Grady take that crap to another thread, it's irrelevant at best, and at worst inciteful.

Gee, I thought I was being humorous. You are correct that the film "Close Encounters" is infinitely more relevant.
According to some UFO researchers and think-tanks all over the world, India�s recent experiences with countless UFO near the Himalayas are significant. India is one of the nations in the world with largest number of technocrats and education is regarded as one of the major pride in every Indian family. According some inner circles in the Government and the defense establishments, India is on the verge of gaining technologies for civilian and military purposes from the extra-terrestrial cultures. Some strongly feel India and America are the two champions of free speech and democracy. And that is why they may have chosen India to lead the world to the order of the Universe. According to many the order of the Universe is to live peacefully, share knowledge and be spiritually elevated. And India is just ready to lead the world towards that. Which other nation can gain futuristic technologies and not gobble up the world?

The object was about four feet in height with a red balloon and many white ones. It hovered around for about 45 minutes some 200 metres from us. We were curious to know more and took photographs," said Anil Kulkarni, a marine and water resources scientist with the city-based Space Application Centre (SAC) of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
He was part of the team that spotted and photographed the object during a just-concluded study trip to the northern state of Himachal Pradesh, bordering China.
While camping in the Samudra Tapu glacier region, 14,500 feet above sea level, near Chandratal, Kulkarni saw the curious object at 7.00 a.m. Sep 27.
"There were balloons attached to this unusual object. It had 'legs' but we could not see the 'hands'. It was moving closer to the hilltop. The object started moving in our direction when we started walking towards it. But when our porters made a noise, it moved away towards the hilltop," he said.
The object remained stationary for about five minutes after reaching the hilltop, then moved away in another direction before it disappeared, he added.
"Interestingly when it was exposed to the sun, it turned black and in the shadow of the hill, it became white," the scientist said.
In all probability, he opined, it was not a balloon as it was moving against the wind
A MYSTERIOUS flying object said to attack sleeping villagers has sparked mass hysteria and rioting across the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
Police shot dead one man and injured 12 others when a mob of hundreds stormed the police station in Barabanki, demanding protection against what they believe is an alien assailant terrorising villages.
The object, described as a flying sphere emitting red and blue light, is said to strike in the middle of the night, leaving victims with burns or scratches on their faces and limbs, and earning it the name the muhnochwa (face-scratcher).
At least seven unexplained deaths in the area have been attributed to the muhnochwa, sparking panic among villagers who blame police for not providing enough protection.
Out of a sample study of 100 injured victims, 10 were found to be victims of an insect bite or scratch. Another 10 suffered the injuries indirectly (like bruises while running after a scare in the night). The remaining had one or more of the following four common factors: Experiencing electric shock, seeing sharp light, feeling hard oval object.
Out of 80 people, 65 were found to have suffered physical injuries and there were three who tried to overpower the ETB. "All the three had suffered hundreds of scars, as if caused by a blade, on the palm and it was inexplicable by any team member," said an expert who examined the injuries adding that this was what raised possibilities of an ETB being out there. But there is still a long way to go before these experts could come up with anything conclusive on the muhnochwa scare.
