UFO r all Conspiracies to give the public something to chew on nothing more nothing less ...

By Conspiracies i mean the aliens part not the Unidentified Flying Objects that can be spy planes or any other Flying Objects which a person thinks he saw ...

[ARSENAL6]

why didn't they chase them? i would have, cowards.

which sound suspicious because before pakistan became nuclear state Pak UFO was unheard of, now over a sudden we get UFOS appearing
anyone thinks that they are spy planes ?

Are UFOs a myth? Well, there are unidentified flying objects. They tend to mystify observers, even the most trained of them. Many of these aerial objects have been explained away as conventional crafts or natural phenomenon. Weather balloons tend to be a common misidentification. The U.S. military classified the reasons why they were being used. It was the Cold War and the U.S. military were keeping an eye on the Soviets. Satellites falling back to Earth were also common UFO sightings as were spy planes that were originally silver-colored. The military changed the colors to black; they figured the sun wouldn't bounce off the plane while deceiving eye witnesses below. The military used disinformation to cover up for the silver-colored spy planes. So, they did lie. However, not about aliens. There's no way a government could cover up a massive conspiracy from the public. Major conspiracies tend to fall apart.

We also have the alien abduction scenario. The first American alien abduction took place with Barney and Betty Hill right around 1963. They told their story in the Interrupted Journey. Apart that the book that was a literary phenomenon, the Hills experience was deemed as nothing more than a shared dream by Dr. Simon. He hypnotized them both.

Hypnosis is an important feature in alien abductions. Abductees tend to suspect that they were taken by aliens to be experimented with while undergoing embarrasing sexual-medical procedures, including the stealing of eggs of women and the extraction of sperm of males. There is a school of thought that deems these abducting aliens (abductees themselves) as angelic beings or messengers of God. There are others that call these aliens as demonic that are in league with the Devil.

Either way, abductees tend not to remember the experience, but do suspect suspicious marks on their bodies and missing time they can't account for as possible abductions. They go to an alien abduction researcher with hypnotic regression skills who assist his patients (abductees) to retrieve these hidden memories. However, through rigorous psychological investigations, have shown that false memories can be planted onto the so called abductees. Ever since the 1950's, there have been Hollywood films depicting aliens taking humans agaisnt their will. It is often that the abductees in these films come away with scars and a lack of memory of the incidents involving aliens. Barney Hill drew the alien that supposedly abducted him while he was under hypnosis. There was a show just a few days ago of a hypnotic-looking alien with large wrap-around eyes. Hollywood and Television have served as visual aids that have found its way into UFOlore.

So, on the basis that UFOs and alien abductions are not proof of alien visitations, I have enough grounds to call these a complete myth. I have written How Modern Society invented UFOs with the thesis that myth was developed to fill in the voids of our era. There is also a great fear among UFO believers. It is believed by some that aliens will invade Earth to conquer. This motif was iniated in sci-fiction. It started with H.G. Wells who wrote War of the Worlds, a totally fictious novella about aliens invading jolly-old England. Sci-fiction played a significant role in shaping the UFO myth.

There are various themes in UFOlore that i explore in How Modern Society Invented UFOs. One of them is religion. Since the late nineteenth century, the West underwent a secularization. Science may great headway until the mid point of the 20th century. The post WWII era, a time thought that end of the world was near, is filled with anxiety, fear, paranoia, and uncertainty. UFOs came into the picture to provide an alternate perspective on modern history, morality, and not to mention religion. Please refer to amazon.com. My name is Albert Ramos author of How Modern Society Invented UFOs.

I am skeptical about intelgent life but i am quite sure aliens haven't visted us yet.

Dr,Carl Sagan talks about ufo i advise you guys and gals to listen to it

 

[Bigoren]

I see UFO yesterday night



in my dream.

 

[Last Hope]

UFO area actually jargons for Undentified Flying Object.
Even a irregular shaped radio controlled electronics, can be called UFO as we have got no idea what it is!

I personally think UFOs are existing AND the NASA has built or copied the shape into spy planes.

Regards.

I can not watch youtube.
But I know Carl Sagan,he is just the scientist had talked about artificial moon:
The eminent scientist Carl Sagan, a typical sceptic, made the statement, 'A natural satellite cannot be a hollow ob-ject'. But meaning here that if it is hollow, it is not a natural satellite---and therefore artificial.

anyone thinks that they are spy planes ?[/TE] I don't know much about Pakistani UFOs although I have written a book called How Modern Society Invented UFOs. We know off the bat that most UFOs are identified after further inverstigation. UFOs turn out to be either man-made, such as aircraft or even satellites falling back to Earth, or even weather balloons. Natural phenomenon is also the culprit, which can entail meteorites, but particularly a star or even the planet Venus (bright as it is), it has often been mistaken for a UFO.

In my book on UFOs, not only do I take a skeptical slant on the subject, but also attempt to explain the need for the myth. UFO sightings increased with such verocity during WWII. Decades before the war, rumors of either heavier-than-air-fliyng machines were rumored to have been invented by engineers. Science advancements were enthusiasticly embraced during the late 19th century. A few years before 1947, the actual birth place of the UFO legend, Europeans were misidentifying aerial objects in the skies as possible rockets from either Germany or the Soviets, both of which were in political-military conflict with Western Europeans.

In 1947, Kenneth Arnold saw strange objects in the sky as weaving in and out of formation while flying his airplane near Mt. Ranier Washington. He described them to a reporter on the ground as though the aerial objects "skipped-in-water in saucer-like fashion.' Arnold's description was mistranslated and within days, newspapers across the world reported that Kenneth Arnold saw a Flying Saucer. Within weeks afterwards, others across the U.S. and in the West, were seeing Fllying Saucers with great frequency. Flying Saucers were later called Unidentified Flying Objects or UFOs.

In my book, How Modern Society Invented UFOs, one of the focus is the societal change that the West was undergoing. Particularly right after the WWII, it was believed that it was possible for the Soviets to carry out an attack on the U.S. and its allies. Bear in mind that the Cold War between said adversaries brought a new political structure along with attitudes of fear, confusion, and not to mention paranoia. Let us get to the point. Since the early days of the Cold War, the U.S. had engaged in classified activity to keep their eyes on the Soviet Union, to confirm if they also tested atomic weapons. As such, radiation was measured with the launching of large weather balloons. The U.S knew for sure that the Soviets had an atomic weapon of their own. This struck fear into the American public. For some, many of which would be called Contactees, honestly believed that these UFOs were flown from marvelous beings from another world.

There were plenty of source-material that generated UFOs from the U.S.'s already involvement in Cold War classified activities. Weather balloons were part of the project. These fying devices were top secret and when they crashed, were retrieved in a timely manner and covered up. I turned out that weather balloons, under twilight conditions, as they flew near a setting sun while the horizon below was dark, tended to reflect the sun's rays and viewed by eyewitnesses below on the ground.

Spy planes were used. These aircrafts were colored silver and tended to reflected the sun's raise and also be mistaken as a UFO. Some years later the spy planes were painted to black; this easily absorbed the rays of the sun.

These examples with the weather balloons and the spy planes do point to a societal shift, namely that the UFO myth arose as a distinctive belief system during the Cold War. One thing has to be mentioned about China in regards to social change. When China developed their space program, just as the U.S. developed theirs, rash of sightings exploted. The same may have happened to Pakistan after it became a nuclear state. Specificly, how UFOs are generated in Pakistan as a reflection of such change is not very clear.

As you said the rumors about UFO were brought to me and many other chinese 30 years ago at the time that the social change just began.
Now UFOs nearly out of my mind .I am now learning about some theories sounds authentic about moon and notice that the shape and stripes of mountains like Everest and Nanda Devi are odd just like a monster or a monk's face as some one had pointed out.Have you ever think or study about these things ?As a writer I admire what is your opinion?

I'll believe if I see those my own eyes someday!

As per the latest news NASA astrobiologist seems to have pretty much conclusive evidence that extraterestrial life does indeed exist. ....

maybe the UFO phenomenon should not be dismissed as hearsay and hallucinations , Possibilities increase everyday.....

I think UFOs and aliens are real. USA already has flying saucers reverse engineered by alien craft that landed on Roswell and was tolld by aliens on a base on the far side of the Moon to stay away from the Moon, according to one astronaut. Those of you don't believe is because you haven't seen thme yet, and the aliens choose whom to show themselves to. Below is a video of aliens as described by the eyewitnesses that saw them:
