16. I have seen unidentified flying objects twice. Not sure I would like to see 'em closer
 Not many technologically advanced societies are kind to those have less technology - or even their own kind. Just because a group has more knowledge does not mean they are kind and just.


Anyhooo I always figured many sightings are the alien equivalents of teens hot rodding or going out getting drunk and knocking down a bunch of mail boxes.

17. I think 'aliens' (other or inter-dimensional beings) probably exist

though I haven't had the pleasure of making their acquaintance.
However, I don't think about it much so haven't really examined my own feelings about it.

I suppose if they DO exist then I hope they are advanced in ways other than merely technologically.
The ancients who witnessed their presence saw them, perhaps, as Gods, angels or advanced divine beings. And that seems to be our tendency as well. I don't pretend to know what the answer is, but I tend to think that we are all 'aliens' on a journey toward the Divine Light, and some are much MUCH further along than others. And any advanced technology may just be an extension of that.
Good vs. evil are part of our own dualistic rather than holistic experience and perception, so the question of their motives within that context is probably not relevant.

Fun to ponder though!

23. Imagine how differently we'll look at other earthlings
 If it turns out we're not so special after all, we might see that animals are people too, and do a better job of tending the planet & making room for them.

My dh just walked in &thinks I'm nuts

 If you listen to the discussion on Coast to Coast, some people who watch this phenomena think that the U.S. has technology gained from some situation like the Rowell crash and that it will be brought out soon. It will go a long way toward solving the energy crisis. The thinking is that this is why governments have loosened up the records and have released archives of incidents.

Other thinking is that they know we're in trouble. Various explanations have been offered for why they would care, none of which really mean anything since we know so little about them or their motivations.

Sadly no alien bouncy conversions though, someone missed a trick.

there was a video on CNN about it .. but the guys filming it sound drunk. the CNN people are kind of making fun of the video, so... i dont really know any more about it than that.

i once had an astronomy professor at UT who had worked for NASA... and he loved everything about space, was a great passionate guy and he believed in UFOs..

he told great stories and there was a time he worked at the McDonald Observatory in East Texas (I think its East) and they have had multiple sitings there at night of lights that scatter on the desert floor and dart around. that phenomina has gone on for years there..

The MacDonald Observatory is in the Davis Mountains of WEST Texas.  Bout 650 miles from me and I plan to be there with my Harley and about 6 good buddies in about 3 months!  Woooo Hoooo!!!  The lights are in Marfa which is a little south of the observatory.  Really cool place out there and absolutely awesome riding!
