and this
Are well and truly in the public domain.
Perhaps theres other wierder stuff we havnt been told about flying around too huh?
Aliens? bah.
And the silent hovering triangles that depart quietly with incredible acceleration seen by hundreds during the Belgian wave in 1989 and in fact, by two Pistonheaders in 86/87/88? They should have been and gone by now if they were similar projects.Was designed in the 70's and entered service in 1983 and retired in 2008.

I'm skeptical about this kind of thing, but as another PHer pointed out, there has been numerous accounts by credible characters, pilots for example.
How many pilots do you know?

I was letting off chinese lanterns at the weekend and live three miles south of Buntingford, maybe it was one of the endurance models?
Bl**dy chinese lanterns, those things should be banned IMO. Anyone stupid enough to launch one deserves to get abducted and probed by aliens frankly, at least UFO's don't go around burning down peoples houses and crops! :-)At one end of the scale you get the extreme UFO nutters, then there is a wide range of believers, agnostics, and sceptics. At the other end of the scale you get the extreme sceptics or disbelievers such as Brian Dunning who makes money selling books that try to discredit anything that has not (yet) been proved by science. The flare diversion bears no relationship to the description provided by the hundreds of witnesses and is typical of the US government's strategy of debunking or ignoring the UFO phenomenon. They might as well have blamed the sightings on swamp gas.

The pheonix lights has been taken apart by others. Ignore it if you will, but I find it interesting when there is a reason for something, a method and process that can be described and shown to be the case yet it is ignored because it is not withing the belief that there is something out there or the gubmint is guilty of something or its the illuminated holy toe nails or some other such shadowy organisation and to believe, people think they have the bead on the global conspiracy to enslave them. You don't have to look far.
Lets not forget all the people who write books pushing the idea as well.

As I have pointed out several times on here, there are physical objects in the world's air space that we do not yet understand.
OK. Like quite a few on PH, I fly for a living. I've been a pilot for 26 years and have 5000+ hours. I have never, once, seen anything in the World's airspace that I couldn't explain. There were a couple that had me going (tumbling polar-orbit satellite, Iridium Flare) over the North Sea at FL410 one night, but otherwise no ET or anal probes.Am I blind?

We know so little about space, there are allegedly over 10 billion other planets out there, somewhere. To write off the possibility of intelligent life out there somewhere is foolish IMO. How can we possibly be alone in the universe? This kind of thing genuinely fascinates me, so please if you do have something useful or loosely based around fact then please do feel free to share it.
It kind of irritates me how people, the general population, are so tied up reading Heat magazine or obsessing about the latest material item, they fail to see the bigger picture. We have so many questions but so few answers. I hate to be so cliche, but to me space really is the final frontier. It's the only thing left that we have failed to explore with any level of depth.
IMO, our failure to explore says a lot about our "advanced" technology. There is not one human being on this planet that can answer our questions regarding life other than our own existing in our universe. Does that not trouble anyone else?
I fail to see how anyone could not be curious about such a subject when you consider how little we know.

No one is writing off inteleligent life here I think. And who says life past our ability is a given point?
This is something I have a problem with, our lack of humility. We humans, as we loftily call ourselves to differentiate us from the other animals, come stumbling precariously into existence in the last few seconds of our planets analogous 24 hour clock then enjoy a few milliseconds of scientific discovery and now some regard us to be the pinnacle of intelligent life - in the whole universe.Our knowledge of the universe is sketchy and we know nothing about the ability of life to develop in other solar systems, take a hold, flourish and go on to enjoy thousands if not millions of years of scientific discovery. We are possibly like ants going about their important daily business totally unknowing of the planet Earth and the complexity of nature, life and science surrounding them.
