Why put lights on an aircraft?
Originally posted by divegeesterI still don't get why anyone would assume it was a space craft. It wasn't travelling through space. If you saw an unidentified vehicle on the road, would you say 'alien space craft'? Even if had alien markings and little green men, you would assume that it was a vehicle detached from its mother ship would you not?

Originally posted by KeplerAircraft have landing lights, flashing warning lights and interior lights. An interstellar spaceship would not need these. I'm not even sure why this needs to be explained.
Nope, neither does an aircraft of earthly origin. Aircraft are still festooned with lights though.
Originally posted by SuzianneThat's an educated guess, and better than twiteheads approach on the subject, imo.
'triangle-shaped craft' were reported by many eyewitnesses. This is a fairly common sighting in the US any more.
I'm of the opinion that most of these are 'black ops'... craft the US have built using reverse-engineering of the Roswell craft, very secret, and they may use an 'anti-grav' propulsion system. It kind of begs the question, "Why is NASA still ...[text shortened]... rrow roles (mostly Army Reserve), but those are minimal compared to the other branches.

'Cultural relevance' sounds like hooey to me.
Show a picture of a ufo to an American and he'll say 'it's a flying saucer', or 'it's a ufo'. I think it's pretty demeaning to say that a Chinese person would say it's a 'fairy riding a dragon', when clearly it's not any such thing. Even the Chinese live in the 21st Century.

Originally posted by karoly aczelThe solitary definate ufo I saw appeared mattalic at first glance, but as I gazed further I noticed that the exterior was actually changing all the time too look like different metals or even woody at times, yet always retaining a monochromatic color structure and it's basic dimensions. At times the edges of the "craft" appeared to be slightly wavy, like the heat rising off a road that seems to give off a shimmer.
It's no hooey.
Beilieve or not your mind is "trained" to see what it firstly needs to for survival and secondly for the things you desire in your life. Of course with desire comes the opposite as well, the undesirable,as is the nature of the paradoxic universe we inhabit.

Originally posted by whodeyNo. Grey aliens are the most "Famous" because they have violated a universal guideline, ie that a planet at our stage of evolution shall not be interfered with.
This leads me to another question I have.
Are all aliens gay?
Originally posted by Suzianne"collective unconscious" is fine with me.
But I prefer the term 'collective unconscious' (see Jung) which implies that all humans have access to it.
I don't understand though, how one human can see something and give a completely different testimony of what it is based on 'cultural differences'. We still 'see what we see'.
Originally posted by divegeesterSo why wouldn't a spaceship need any of those? Presumably even aliens have to be able to see to eat their in-flight meal and if there were more than one spaceship then warning lights would also be useful.

Originally posted by Keplerthe method of "propulsion" is more advanced than just pushing through 3d space. They actually bend space-time in a measured fashion appear to move from one point to another, when they are actually totally still while the rest of the universe moves around them.
