BBC News - Today - Air traffic control says UFOs in UK 'around one a month' (http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_9745000/9745210.stm)

Interplanetary business must be kinda slack if they can handle it with just one flight a month.

Bear in mind that anything that flies and which is unidentified is, by definition, a UFO.

Yes, I have actually been that "UFO".

The local UFO group, who turned up at Police HQ with a shaky video, taken on full zoom, were quite deflated when I told them it was just me, out on a job that night; in the same place, at the same time, hovering with the Nightsun searchlight on.. :p

Of course, once identified, then it's no longer a UFO.

I becomes an IFO.

Japan has huge numbers of UFO sighting...cuz they fireworks is outta this world...:}:ouch::ouch:

Our craft are invisible to you monkey people. We run RPT with a flight schedule of at least six a day weekdays and 4 per day at weekends.
:p

Those pesky Chinese lanterns. I saw one from the ground near Dublin Airport the last week. I was about to call ATC to warn them because it was heading right for the runway. But it burned out at that point. Previously I saw two in formation one night. The illusion they were some form of craft was compelling.

Recently one of our pilots was startled when something silver flashed past his cockpit. In the true tradition of UFO stories he turned to pursue the apparition. Only to find it was a number 2 shaped helium balloon.

The only UFOs I ever had any knowledge of.

a number 2 shaped helium balloon

I always thought these UFO stories were a load of s***.

I have been accused of being a UFO too...

and I have seen thousands of UFOs!

and when I closed to visual range they all had little green men in them!

(except the Germans, who were orange)

Dunno about a UFO, but we've got a UFU at work..........

Are these sightings pre or post drinkies with the boys?

Hi,

I am visiting an army oficial engineer and he told me on the Haunebu.

The R&D as we can see googling was done since 1922.

I am without words to express my surprise with this family of crafts. (http://discaircraft.greyfalcon.us/HAUNEBU.htm)

I was professionally involved in the Belgian Wve (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian_UFO_wave) The F16 pilot sounded extremely worried on 243. We saw nothing except the fighters on ATC radar although I vaguely remember seeing tape of the F16s target radar with the momentary lockon. The technicians could find no possible equipment fault that could explain it. The Chief of the Air Staff even went on tv to explain what had been seen.
There is a reluctance to report these sightings as the official line is to play them down. I've been asked several times by pilots if there was another aircraft nearby and on saying no but asking what they'd seen was told, "oh, it's nothing". Discounting Aurora and its successors, Venus, satellites, etc., I'm pretty sure there's something out there. Flight International published a photo some years ago, taken from a satellite (?) of a series of annular rings across the North Sea. The belief at the time was that it was something powered by pulse jets and moving at about M8.0. I never saw anything more about it.
It doesn't have to be extra-terrestrial to be unidentified.

I've just been reading about Eric Laithwaite, and one snippet led to another. I was astonished to find he still believed his reactionless gyro drive was viable for space travel and indeed his arguments were reasonably solid. It seems it works, but the gyro has to be continuously precessed and of course, this takes energy.

I still can not understand how he could lift a 50lb gyro at arm's length + 2 feet of shaft.

Such a shame he was humiliated by the stuffed shirts.

Gentlemen: If we accept the proposition that the Universe is infinite (which it probably isn't but it is large enough to appear so to us, so no difference in practice), and that therefore everything that can happen there will happen there if it hasn't already happened........ then it is almost certain that somewhere out there an alien equivalent of Michael O'Leary is running some kind of starship fleet, and that (see above) sooner or later we will have them buzzing around our planet, containing aliens all crammed in to a tiny space and bitching about what they were charged for excess baggage.....

I think this explains a lot.

in terms of craft from other planets, we as humans have investigated a planets a fair few million light years away.. to put that into context. a craft from another planet, travelling at the speed of light, would have had to travel a few million years already... and for what to witness a specieis kill each other over a mythical line on the ground or different interpretations of some mythical being.. planet earth would most likely be signposted 'keep moving, anything to see here is for entertainment purposes only'.

a couple of close friends of mine have spent a fair amout of time at restriced access 'flight research facilities' although what has been seen cannot be divulged i understand that some of the things that have and are in testing are 'mind bending' and about 50 years in advance of where we consider 'generally' technology to be at.

aliens.. phooey !

then it is almost certain that somewhere out there an alien equivalent of Michael O'Leary is running some kind of starship fleet, and that (see above) sooner or later we will have them buzzing around our planet, containing aliens all crammed in to a tiny space and bitching about what they were charged for excess baggage.....



they could of course be declaring an emergency due to low fuel !

I wholeheartedly agree. I can still vividly remember Eric Laithwaite's RS Christmas Lectures, had me absolutely enthralled. His first set of Christmas Lectures convinced me, at the age of about 13 or 14, to become a scientist, a decision I've never regretted.

If the universe is finite, then what comes after that. What is it contained in?

The human mine is limited. We are unable to get our heads around infinity, period. Therefore a lot that is seen and cannot be explained, is BS'd away by the "intellectuals."

Your thinking is three-dimensional DU.

The Universe is finite but unbounded, as well as having four physical
dimensions. A tesseract can be seen as representative of this in our
3D world, except in the Universe's case its unbounded.

Thanks Slasher

I just knew someone would come up with a rational explaination.

Aside from mis-identification of normal flying things, and as yet unknown military advances, the possibility of non-earth machines is there, bearing in mind the vastness of space and the statistical chance of there being life other than ours it could well be their spaceships. Maybe there is no need for them to travel vast distances at the speed of light, maybe they are able to dance between the dimensions and it is just when they do it where the population has mass that it becomes noticed.

I'm not sure that's correct, Several of my ex-wives assured me that they had infinite patience as far as I was concerned.

Don't believe it ? Try the test - go and ask your wife right now....

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.

I live here on a Class M planet revolving around a humdrum Yellow star in the dull boring part of the Western Spiral Arm of the Galaxy -

And you live here maybe 30,000 light years away -

Now zero in where I live, somewhere in all of this -

And then travel those 30,000 light years to my planet. Drag me out of bed in the middle of the night to fiddle with my ballbag with those
dirty surgical instruments you thought you'd bring along, and don't forget to buzz the missus as she drives home late at night on a lonely
country road before you start exploring her quim. Oh and don't come any earlier than 405 AD, and certainly keep a low profile until after
Sputnik launches in 1957.

Don't forget not to look too distantly human and to appear childlike.

Nothing. That's the point.

Nothing means nothing, so infinity is meaningless. It's difficult to 'get your head around' something that's not there.


Spacetime can only exist because there is nothing to get in its way as it unpacks. Disregard matter in space - there's not much of it. Just consider the 'fabric of space' which may, or may not, be as Peter Higgs described.

Black holes are actually digital storage devices,we live inside one,nothing is real including us,we are just small bundles of zeros and ones.

Black holes are actually digital storage devices


hmmm.. i have digital storage devices and MS Outlook can act as black hole..

hang on... may be onto something here!

Here's all the answers

Those pictures reminded me of a postcard I once received long ago from an ex-girlfriend.

http://playingintheworldgame.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/ii_earth_in_space.gif

On the back it read "Wish you were here."

I was clocking up some night hours at four in the morning, getting radar service from Luton. The controller called out that there was pop up traffic in my twelve o'clock. Then he said "disregard, its just disappeared...it must have been an angel"

I was just south of the Himalayers a few years ago. We got a return of TCAS that had no height information. The object was intially aboout 100 nm range. Within 2 secs it was 5 nm range. The other crew member and I both looked at each other with mouths wide open. Nothing visual.

I was professionally involved in the Belgian Wve (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian_UFO_wave) The F16 pilot sounded extremely worried on 243. We saw nothing except the fighters on ATC radar although I vaguely remember seeing tape of the F16s target radar with the momentary lockon.

It doesn't have to be extra-terrestrial to be unidentified.During WW2 RAF bomber crews were regularly reporting encounters with strange objects which on occasions accompanied them into the bombing run.

Naturally these were (and interestingly many still are) classified as there was a belief that the Luftwaffe had developed or discovered some new form of aircraft or propulsion system.

Aircrew involved in such incidents who reported them at debriefing were instructed to say nothing at all, even to their fellow crews, and were later interviewed separately by a special team, again with orders to say nothing. Of course this being wartime, and in an era when authority had more respect aircrew naturally complied.

Black holes are actually digital storage devices,we live inside one,nothing is real including us,we are just small bundles of zeros and ones.I believe that I have a Black Hole in Mrs RE's wardrobes.

Despite continued repleneishment of bags, shoes and clothes, she never appears to have anything to wear when going out :ugh:

The thirst of this particular Black Hole can be easily seen by a simple review of the bank account, which seems also to feed it on a regular basis.

One does rather feel that a Mistress would be a cheaper option.

Unfortunately Eric Idle, despite having a BA (Eng) from Cambridge and an asteroid, 9620 Ericidle, named after him, he is still not one of the unquestionable ones such as Einstein or Newton. Therefore although nothing will ever be allowed to be proven to travel faster than light and nothing will ever be allowed to contradict Newtons Laws of Motion, Idle's Galactic verses were always destined to found to be slightly dodgy.


Monty Python star Eric Idle wrote the original ‘The Galaxy Song’ for the 1983 Monty Python Meaning of Life movie but got the physics in the lyrics totally wrong. (http://www.noise11.com/news/monty-pythons-eric-idle-rewrites-galaxy-song-with-professor-brian-cox-20121110)

Professor Brian Cox O.B.E. has assisted Eric Idle in rewriting the Monty Python ‘Galaxy Song’.


So, here are all the answers;

Eric Idle's Galaxy Song - 2012 - YouTube

Galaxy DNA Song
Just remember you’re a tiny little person on a planet
In a universe expanding and immense
That life began evolving and dissolving and resolving
In the deep primordial oceans by the hydrothermal vents
Our earth which had its birth almost five billion years ago
From out of a collapsing cloud of gas
Grew life which was quite new
And eventually led to you
In only three point five billion years or less.

Deoxyribonucleic acid helps us replicate
And randomly mutate from day to day.
We left the seas and climbed the trees
And our biologies
Continued to evolve through DNA.
We’re 98.9 per cent the same as chimpanzees
Whose trees we left three million years ago
To wander swapping genes out of Africa which means
We’re related to everyone we know.

Life is quite strange
Life is quite weird,
Life is really quite odd
Life from a star is far more bizarre,
Than an old bearded man they call God
So gaze at the sky, and start asking why
You’re even here on this ball
For though life is fraught
The odds are so short
You’re lucky to be here at all…

Standing on a planet which is spinning round a star
One of just a billion trillion suns
In a Universe that’s ninety billion light years side to side
Wondering where the heck it all came from.
You’ve a tiny little blink of life to try and understand
What on earth is really going on
In biology and chemistry
Which made you you and made me me
But don’t ask me I only wrote the song.
