Thoughts on UFO's??

[violet lightning]

Thats a pretty interesting story about both the UFO and the little grey guys!
Were the gray men human looking or what? Did they have clothing or anything?
I wonder what their preoccupation with the building was? (maybe they "work" there!) Interesting to contemplate whether they might be Earthlings (including some kind of spirits from here), or aliens that are visiting or live here now.
Also interesting how the dog seemed to see them, but was not really alarmed or even interested. Maybe they are commonplace.

If and when we discover this, it will be one of the biggest breakthroughs in modern science, and we will then be better equipped to understand how common, or how rare, life in the cosmos really is.

The hypothesis is that early RNA-Molecules are able to reproduce their selves out of existing substances.
The substances are formed out of chemical reactions. If amino acids are heat, like in black smokers, they can form a simple RNA. The simple RNA that can reproduce it self, is the most that can be found.
In combination with self organized reaction rooms, existence proven, they can form cells. The first microorganism with working metabolism.

But you are right, it has never been seen.

Where it is proven that electricity can travel faster than the speed of light? Electrons and ions have a mass, and can't travel faster then the speed of light.

Tachyon would have a mass below 0, and until now they are only a possibility in math.


Can I ask you a simple question to your story. Why didn't you go close to them, if you see them so often and they didn't seem harmful?

Hi there.

I am NOT a phycisist, i AM however an electronic technician i specialize in PC's, havent touched a soldering iron i over 20 years, but high very electric charges in the million of electron volt, the electric charge was said to make the electron's mass insignificant compared to it's electric charge and could thus travel faster then light.

About the little grey guys, only saw them 3 times as i stated, and i didn't think to get a camera and take pictures, there was a fence between where i was and where they were, and i wasn't too sure that getting too close to them was such a good idea, any more than they seem to, it's like when you see a skunk, it may not take much interest in you but if you get too close you are likely to get sprayed, they didn't seem to do anything and they also seemed to be a bit passive, but i don't know what would have happend if i got close enough to touch them, they probably would have left but i'm not sure, and what were they doing there? i have no clue, but there had to be a reason, and it seemed that they could go from where they lived and wher "i" lived easily where we can't (as far as i know) so i didn't want to chance it.

You can't use every day experiences to determine what will happen at speeds approaching light. When an electron approaches the speed of light, it's tiny insignificant mass will be multiplied by the Lorenz Factor (referred to as gamma):
gamma = 1/(sqrt(1-v^2/c^2))

where c is the speed of light, and v is velocity.

i.e., if v = 99.999999% of the speed of light, then the electron's mass would be about 7000 times it's normal mass.

if v = the speed of light, then it's mass goes up to infinity. That's a no no.

Actually, tachyons would have an imaginary mass (imaginary as in the square root of a negative number).

[johndowe]

Hi there.

Immaginary numbers do exist and are used extensively when calculating vectors and (electrical) phase differentials corectly, havent done any such math in years but i still remember it, and in math you use the lower case i, in elctronics i is for intencity ie current, we use lower case j instead.

So maby tachions are as "real" ?

Yes, imaginary numbers exist, but not as values for physical quantities such as mass.

Hi there.

Why not it would kinda be like vectored mass (vectored to the other side of the big bang and linked to tachions in that universe?).

Because to create so much mater you would need huge ammounts of energy but if you if the big bang created a positive and a negative universe on opposite plains, the energy needed becomes much smaller and sustainable, obviously can't proove it one way or the other, but it would explain a lot.

The positive energy that particles are made up of are balanced by their gravity field (i.e. negative potential energy)

I both believe in extraterrestrial intelligent life and have seen UFOs. In August 2000, me and my sister were looking out the bedroom window of the upstairs of my house. We saw a light in the distance. A plane route used to fly in the same direction, so we thought it was a plane. But then as it came closer we saw it was flying too low and too slowly to be a plane. It flew over the trees and houses across the street and then directly over my house. We ran from the front to the back of the house to watch it come over the other side but it was long gone. It travelled about five miles per hour and was very loud, like a rumbling. It was about 20 feet above the roof of the house. It was an octagon shape with a bright white light on each of the eight corners. This occurred about 10:30 at night. The craft was black. After it had gone, we rushed down the stairs to my mother and asked if she just heard the loud rumbling. She said no. It was loud enough for her to hear, I know that. This ended up giving me suspicions that I had also experienced "missing time", which is a common symptom of UFO encounters. Missing time occurs when a period of time passes without you knowing, maybe because you were unconscious, dazed or hypnotised. I think that the craft's technology gave off an energy that causes such, which is why as it passed over, it was gone before we could see it come over the back. I never looked at the clock after the sighting. I don't know how much time had passed between the initial sighting and us running to the back of the house to see it come over. To my knowledge and sister's knowledge it was only seconds. But because of "missing time", it could have been minutes or even hours.

Whether the craft was alien or a government experiment, I don't know. I do know that I saw something that is not currently used on this planet publically. I do though, believe in the existence of intelligent alien life that is visiting this planet and has been for thousands of years.

Awesome! Did you get pictures? Or did anyone else in your neighborhood get pictures?

[DSL]

Well haven't seen any flying disks or strange objects in the sky yet other then shooting stars ( space junk falling to earth ).
but true they are some life forms out there but not in our reach like about
25,000 to 42,000 light years away in fact our closes galaxy Canis Major Dwarf galaxy may hold some life forms.

WE are not alone!....

[Creedence]

While I believe life may exist in other galaxies I don't believe we experienced a phenomenon like Roswell.

I believe aliens might of been a cover story to keep the Soviet Union off their guard while the US developed new types of aircraft.

I'm not a conspiracy nut either I just think that makes the most sense.

If I see a skunk and there are no signs of defence from it, I would be curious about it, and I would try to get closer. But if I would see something Alien like, 3 times, I would try to know as much as possible about it. I can't belief someone recognize harmless Aliens and has no further interest and walk on as usual.

Calculating with a time point in electricity with inductance and capacitance is not like an imaginary mass. But in math possible.

Sorry you are right.

Hi there.

Hey, you assume they were aliens, maby they were, maby not, animals have good instincts about things and people and since my dog didn't see them as hostile or a threat and i kinda concured, and i was keeping an eye on them, but if you weren't there you can't say i would have done this and that, you simply weren't there.

Seeing things that are as unusual as these little guys i acted caushiously, in retrospect the only thing i should have done i didn't was to try to communicate with them but i was a bit nervous every time i saw them, and as i said they didn't do anything that could be interpreted as hostile.

I said Alien like, not Alien.
But it's not that far to think of Aliens in a UFO Thread and your description of them:

... the 3 little guys changed their appearrance to look like weeds but light grey in color ...

I can tell you about the "good instincts" about two neighbours and their dogs. One is happy to see any human, burglar, postman, visitors and so on. The other neighbour dog is afraid of everything that is not permanently there (except for its pride), cars, cats, birds, postman, people that walk closer than 50m (165feet), I guess even leafs.
I give nothing to dog instinct.

I'm sure that I would have done this, at the place I live and there is no sign of danger, especially in a "VERY QUIET" place.

You were acting caushiously, don't went close enough to identify them, but through a snowball near them?

I can't belief this story.

[Jenae LaTorque]

Ach, sounds to me like an encounter with "the little people." It is best not mess with them. They have some rather advanced weapons to go along with their cloaking "camoflage" equipment. You might end up like Rip Van Winkle and be out of it for a hundred years.
