Creepy Alien Stories

Re: Creepy Alien Stories

I've got a creepy story.

I lived in Tucson, Arizona and I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. We were coming home from the drive-in movies (Spiderman 1. Badass, right?). We lived up on a deserty hill. Needless to say, it was dark. It was a clear and dry night. As we were driving up the hill, I, and everyone in the car, saw a large, bright green ball of light with streams of light (almost like lightning) emitting from it shoot through the sky. It's kind of hard to describe, but I could tell that it wasn't very high up in the sky. It was moving rather fast, and then it just disappeared

It definitely wasn't a shooting star. I don't know what asteroids/meteorites(oids?) look like, but I'm pretty sure that they don't look like that.

Re: Creepy Alien Stories

I KNOW there are aliens. I'm not talking though.

We have ways of making you talk.

Lots of military test craft are down there. That's why I have to take every Arizona aliens story with a grain of salt. I'd like to hear about aliens landing on the east coast somewhere. That might get my attention.

My big issue with this is like people are saying "Years ago people saw the stealth bomber and thought it was a UFO" "The government tests all kinds of aircraft,etc"

The thing is, theres a difference between a stealth bomber and a green ball shooting lighting like bolts from it.

Agreed. Isn't a stealth bomber not supposed to be seen?

Re: Creepy Alien Stories

What bugs me is the constant speculation. Something is always explained away or laughed upon. Sometimes I wish the extraterrestrial life would simply makes such a grand appearance that nothing could explain it away.

Until then we will all speculate about something that would seem to be obvious, and that is that this Universe must house other species outside of our own.

Who's to say that the military doesn't have something that looks like a green ball with bolts shooting out from it? I mean, I doubt they do to be honest, but people also didn't know they had stealth bombers/SR-71s/ect. until they were classified. Hell, we still don't know if the Aurora Spy Plane is actually real or not.

Stealth aircraft are hard to spot on radar (though not invisible), but that doesn't mean you can't see them with the naked eye near where the craft takes off from and lands.

Re: Creepy Alien Stories

For some reason people always refuse to think rationally about UFO's and alien visits.

On the .0000001% chance that an alien civilization became advanced enough to defy the laws of physics and travel countless times faster than the speed of light (which would be necessary since the chances of intelligent advanced life being only 500 light years away is virtually nil and in the best case scenario thousands of light years away). Even more unlikely than travelling that fast is the manipulation of wormholes to somehow take a shortcut. That fantasy theory is simply used to fill up time on science shows because it sounds so cool and has no basis in merit whatsoever.

Let's not even get into the extreme unliklihood that a species could survive long enough on thier planet to become that advanced. The human race is literally a 1000 years away from ever achieving any kind of Star Trek world (actually they will never do it but let's say they are for argument's sake). You really think the human race will be here 1000 years from now with overpopulation, global warming, pollution, the rapid burning up of our resources, natural disasters like super volcanoes and of course war. In the rare chance we are around we sure as hell won't be concerned about spending all our money and resources trying to exceed the speed of light ten times over. Whoever is left will be trying to survive on a used up planet. 1000 years from now we will be happy to be able to somehow colonize Mars before we have destroyed our own planet. These same things would occur on any other planet as they evolve as a species.

So let's forget all that and assume this alien species became that advanced and can break all the laws of physics to travel. They are that advanced and could travel 1000's of light years without being detected by our radars when they arrive. Does it sound normal to you that they would come over for a couple of hours, look around, let themselves be seen by a farmer in Arkansas and then go back home before dinner. Or go to all that trouble to come over to do a few zig zags in the air or borrow a human so they could poke him for a few hours.

They better drive carefully on the way back home if they are easily exceeding the speed of light in thier spaceship so they don't accidentally run into some space junk that's all over space. Hitting any space rock bigger than a basketball at that incredible speed would slice through thier ship like a knife thru butter if not destroy it altogether.

Those are pretty much the reasons why any past or future alien visits are about as likely as the Easter Bunny knocking on your door in the next 10 minutes.

I got 2 words for ya..... Worm Holes

Re: Creepy Alien Stories

Earlier in the summer there were "donuts on a rope" contrails over lake Erie. This has long been thought to be the signature of the purported Aurora spy plane.

Re: Creepy Alien Stories

Proving wormholes exist by folding a piece of paper on TV shows hardly proves that's it's a legitimate form of travel. What alien astronaut would want to volunteer for a guaranteed suicide mission by being the 1st one to try and go thru a wormhole not having any idea where they will end up, not knowing if the ship will withstand the pressure on the extreme liklihood that the tunnel will turn into a black hole and destroy everything around him and the planet you want to visit and last but not least trying to figure out a way of returning. I doubt that there will be road signs telling him how to get back. That seems to be alot of trouble to go thru to simply visit our primative planet for the day and not want anyone on Earth to know about it.

If they manage to find an interplanetary truckstop and get directions to get back home (if they swallow thier pride and ask for directions) then it will be quite a shock that while they have aged maybe a few months everybody else they know on thier home planet has aged many years because the deeper you travel in space the slower time goes for you but not for your species hanging out back home. Passing thru supposed wormholes would slow time even more. I don't know about you but I don't think I could be paid enough to go thru all that crap just to find out Humans pass the time watching reality TV, eating fast food and posting on Facebook.

Oh yeah there's also the problem of gravity and bacteria on Earth that would pose severe problems for our visiting aliens. All these problems don't make for good TV on the Discovery channel so astronomers try not to dwell on it too much. The guys at SETI don't want to think about it because if you scaled the size of the universe as being from where you are sitting right now all the way out to Mars then all the signals sent into space in the last century that SETI is hoping aliens will receive has travelled a grand total of 6 inches and has taken 80 years to do so.

I think people underestimate how big the universe actually is because if they did they would know there is no chance we have ever been visited by aliens.

I think he was being sarcastic.

But there's a flip side to your argument. Technology doubles every seven years, so it's not hard to believe that in a 1000 years we would have that kind of technology.

I'm a little strapped for time right now and will further explain my thoughts, but I believe that the human race will take care of itself, very much unlike your dystopia future

Yeah I know he was but I already got on my soapbox. Even if technology doubled every seven years, it hasn't with space travel or we would have already had manned flights to Mars and we are not even close to approaching that more than 40 years after landing on the moon.

Saying that technology advancing so far to break the laws of physics and overcome the many impossibilities of space travel is like saying in 100 years man will learn to fly like a bird because of our technology. Humans are not designed for flight just like the way physics and the vast size of the universe does not allow for deep space travel no matter how much technology advances.

Not quite. Slightly clever...but not really.
At any rate. Voyager 1 is now at the edge of our solar system in Heliopause. It's been traveling for 33 years on 33 year old technology and has gone 100+ AU(1 AU is nearly 93,000,000 miles). This is all with the worlds space programs focusing on near earth missions since the '80's instead of deep space programs.
I think you haven't seen jumps in technology in space programs because the focus has been away from that. I'm sure that if the human race was to focus it's greatest minds, money and energy on this we would have come up with something much further along. Of course it's something we probably can't imagine as a reality right now, but to dismiss it as impossible is very short sighted. It's a good thing you weren't heading the Norseman or even King when Columbus "re-discovered" America...or we'd all still be in Europe!

I think of it this way. There is probably some planet out there with a very early..."crude" civilization. If they saw us and our technology they would be in awe at how far we've come. To think that somewhere in some solar system, some other civilization isn't further along(by thousands of years) is just way too limited in thought.

I'm not even discussing whether U.F.O.'s are aliens visiting here or not. That's another matter entirely.
