   Have you gone to Google and typed in UFO's , Aliens , or Alien Abduction? If you do you will see millions of results. Whats it all about?
   
   And another question do you think we are the only planet in the universe with intelligent life. Or do you believe there are other planets out there some where with intelligent life on them. I myself find it hard to believe that we are the only planet with life on it. I wonder if in our life time we will have first contact with people from another planet or at least proof that they are out there some where.
   
   
   
   Finally do you believe the US government is covering up things about aliens and UFO's? What do you think?

   I wonder if I am the only UFO , Alien nut on here. Or no one wants to comment on the subject.
   
   So let me ask some other questions also.
   
   1. Have you ever saw a UFO? Tell us your story
   
   2. Have you ever been abducted by aliens? Or do you know someone who was? Tell us the story.
   
   3. Do you think we are the only planet with intelligent life there is? Why do you believe this?
   
   Okay lets see if we can get some answers to those.

      1.  Have never seen a UFO.
      
      2.  Have never been abducted by aliens nor do I know of anyone who has.
      
      3.  No, I don't think we are the only planet with intelligent life.  There are just so many planets out there and am sure life and intelligent life has evolved elsewhere as well.

   Okay still no replies.
   
   So what do you think about Roswell? What do you think happened at Roswell.
   
   Big Government cover up or not?
   
   Was watching a show about the US Government covering up UFO information over the years and Roswell was part of it. There was some pretty convincing evidence that the US government covered up lots of UFO information over the years since Roswell.
   
   Many people claim the USA reverse engineered the downed UFO and that is how the big leap forward was made as far as airplanes are concerned.

      The Roswell thing is possible.  Perhaps, they did capture a few aliens and their craft - could be.  However, I do not think any of the aircrafts in use now (at least in the public domain) have any alien technology.

   Ok, I have a couple hubs about it--three or four I think.
   
   It's a complicated subject. But yes, at one point in my life I thought I'd been abducted by aliens. Later I discovered that something all too earthly had happened and I decided I just THOUGHT I'd been abducted by aliens because truly, people would rather hear about THAT than about what actually did happen to me.
   
   Now, many years later, I have many questions and only a few answers. I have theories and ideas that no one cares about except me. I can summarize where I am with it though for anyone who might be interested:
   
   1) I think most abductions are not literally true but nevertheless many contain something unexplainable.
   
   2)  No one worth spit is investigating this. There are some good ideas. Ufologists tend to be kinda crazy and scientists tend to be kinda snotty. Somewhere in the middle is some interesting stuff but hardly anyone wants to talk about it.
   
   3) I do not think we are being visited by extraterrestrials, but I do think a number of weird things that are real are being smushed together into a story that is not accurate. Any and all of these separate phenomena are interesting but none point to an alien invasion.
   
   4) I'd write it all up in book form but I don't think anyone is interested. I wouldn't be able to sell that book to my own mother. Well, she' dead. But you know what I mean.

   Given the law of averages, I'd actually vote for the fact, that yes, there are aliens out there & they may have already had some contact with earth.  Why not?
   
   Roswell certainly happened.  Too many unexplained details & 'reliable' witnesses who weren't freaks coming forward.  You talk to military personnel who know certain procedures and they point to certain things that do not add up.
   
   Abductions?  Well--in general, I'd wonder about the psychology of the individuals who make the claims.  I don't know enough about this aspect to have a very valid opinion, I feel, however.

   I agree there:
   However I have seen 3 unidentified objects. Seeing is believing.

   Finally some really great replies. I hope we have some more replies soon.
   
   I really do wonder what really happened at Roswell. What was covered up and why? Why are we as the public not allowed to know.
   
   And there are many other UFO events around the USA coming to light now many years after they occurred.
   
   I wonder just what UFO knowledge may come out in the next few years.

   I'm fairly convinced Roswell was a disinformation campaign staged by the CIA to get the public's mind off nuclear build up and other new weapons systems. It worked really well and it still works.
   
   Alien abductions are in part an artifact of hypnosis and they can also can be 'screen memories' for traumatic events. You can also create an alien abduction memory in someone through hypnosis, which raises X-Files type questions about whether some people were legitimately 'taken' by some group smart enough to cover over their own activities with a false memory that discredited the victim.
   
   There's also a certain hysterical quality to the abduction phenomenon. Hysteria is like a screen memory only at the level of a whole society. In hysteria, some real life problem or conflict is being ignored and in reaction some members have a pumped up symbolic experience that is related to the real problem, diverting society's attention to something more palatable and entertaining. I think some of that is going on too.
   
   We don't even know about everything that lives here on earth. So, it also seems to me that when confronted with something strange we should consider first and foremost that it came from right here.

         Thanks for saying so Sandra! I read this bit once about how a snail's brain moves so slowly that if you pick the snail up and move it five feet it won't even know you moved it. So there you are, messing with this snail, and the snail doesn't even 'get it'. It's just one place one minute, and the next it's some other place, but by the time its brain registers that, its already happened. To the snail, it just got magically moved. It has no freakin' clue.
         
         I'm thinking, crap like that could be happening to us. For all we know, something that lives right here but lives at a faster clip than we do and thinks faster too messes with us all the time. How would we know? Lots of abductees report something very much like that--they say, well, I was here one minute, and then I was over there, but I don't remember how I got from point A to point B--it's like there's a gap there.

            I know what your saying.  It's like quantum leap but what is the point?   I think sometimes life seems so bizzar that we could be lab rats waiting for someone to take the curtian off the cage.

    "Alien abductions are in part an artifact of hypnosis and they can also can be 'screen memories' for traumatic events." Ah so my sightings were a result of my being hypnotized and childhood traumatic events.

       I don't believe I said that at all. I said alien abductions CAN be screen memories.
       
       I don't even know you. Why on earth would I try discredit your sightings? I'm not even talking about sightings. Seeing a UFO and 'remembering' an alien abduction are two very different things. What I'm saying here is that I think many things are going on that are lumped into one category---UFOs. If you question any part of the whole sch-bang, the UFO community lynches you. If you give credence to any part of the whole sch-bang, the skeptics mock you.
       
       You kind of made my point by jumping me over this.

    Still, you have to wonder why people all over the world describe their abduction scenerios and their abductors in exactly the same way.

       They are influenced by each other, or TV / books / radio is the obvious explanation.

          Could be, but then again they remembered their experiences during hypnosis. Amanda Severin would know a whole lot more than I do about hypnosis since what I know is elementary. I'm not sure whether truths can be fictionalized or influenced by external factors during hypnosis since the hypnotherapist is delving deep into the subconscious of the individual. I'll look it up, in fact.

    I must say, honestly, what really mystifies and intrigues me are all those artistic crop circles.  I do of course like to take into consideration natural, earthly phenomenon first, but some things are not very readily explained to any satisfaction.
    
    I've heard those are caused by some kind of electromagnetic energy--or of course, hoaxers.  Some of them definitely are hoaxes, but others (?)  Impossible--the degree of intricacy....some of them--the 'knowledge' of digital imagery.
    
    I agree with Pam that any serious discussion starts with earth--but of course there are serious researchers on these topics out there.  You just have to be able to separate the wheat from the chaff--and there's a lot of chaff!  This discussion reminds me of the movie Contact--which for all its perhaps dramatic flaws--I found interesting enough to watch 4 or 5 times.

    I find all of these strange (but true?) things absolutely fascinating. Perhaps this is a case of fairy tales for grown ups? I loved the X-files and Roswell on TV. But then I love Smallville too.

       Lol - its entertainment all right.  I wonder why aliens would travel all those light years just to conduct some funny little experiments on humans by abducting them.  One would think they have nothing better to do!!  Must have lot of free time on their hands
       
       UFO's - could be either things we misinterpret or something genuine - mostly something natural that is misinterpreted.
       
       Aliens - probability would say that they should exist and so I believe that they do exist.  Whether they have been to earth - probably have.  Could've been captured by the US Govt too.
