facthunter Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Bum s in seats is a common term in the trade. It IMPLIES no special insult to our Devil's Island Friends. Van DEMONS Land.

onetrack Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) A former farmer client was telling me a story a few years ago, of how he was seeding grain sitting in his nice warm tractor cabin and working his way around a reasonably familiar paddock that was littered with small outcrops and patches of mallee scrub interspersed with a few trees. It was a very dark night, and this bloke was working with a modest array of lighting, but certainly nothing like the LED lighting they utilise today, that just about lights up the whole paddock. As he went round and round, mind in neutral and thinking of the next round of jobs and problems, he suddenly became aware of a huge glow appearing through the trees, behind a small hilly outcrop. As he watched, the glow got brighter and bigger. It was a huge orange-y colour. He stared at this apparition, becoming more and more scared by the minute. Next thing, a huge glowing orb appeared through the trees, seeming to rise up out of the ground. He said he was absolutely scared s**tless by this stage, and actually stopped the tractor and got out of the cabin and hid behind the rear wheel. The glow started to change from orange to a deep gold colour, and the glowing orb got bigger and bigger as it rose up out of the ground!! Suddenly, his sense of reality returned - and he immediately realised (with a great feeling of foolishness), that he was watching the full moon rise through the trees! It wasn't an extra-terrestrial craft full of strange beings at all! He said he felt really stupid for being diverted in his thought patterns, from considering any common-sense explanation, and letting his mind run riot with a large degree of imagination - sort of like a cat seeing something it fails to recognise, and how treats it as a terrifying thing, out to get it.

How many people do you know who could take such large steps, and move so fast, in that kind of bushland? Also, check the ratio of arm length to leg length. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onetrack Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 A plastic hubcap being held aloft by a jet of air from an airstream-producing device, located below the camera lens? I can recall the three blokes here who ran a smash-repair shop here in Maddington around 1962, and they threw a Customline hubcap in the air, with a Mr Whippy cup taped to it, and took a photo of it, told everyone they'd photographed a UFO! They got the media scrambling to interview them, gave a really plausible story of the UFO they'd spotted, got the photo into the local newspapers, and got themselves world-wide publicity! It was only when American media started calling and wanted to come and interview them, that they knew they'd better come clean on the hoax! https://www.facebook.com/StateLibraryWA/videos/maddington-ufo/308819851213323/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post pmccarthy Posted January 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2023 George Adamski got global fame for writing books with photos that turned out to be lampshades thrown in the air. I read them back then and believed for a while. Late one night out shooting, miles from anywhere in the bush, we saw a brilliant beam of light shining up from behind the trees sending morse code flashes up to the clouds, where they made a distinct spot. We were brave enough to sneak up on the source, to find a man with an arc welder working inside an excavator bucket. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been waiting for a UFO to arrive, in the shape of a blue phone box. More credible than flying crockery. Pun intended. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomadpete Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Realistically, any mode of physical transport capable of interstallar travel, must have conquered time travel and the speed of light. Therefore the vehicle no longer has to obey our normal rules of areodynamics. After all, most of it's journey is NOT in an atmosphere. It isn't confined to slim saucer shapes. Or flower pots. Could easily be the shape of Scrooge McDuck's money bin. Or a phone box. The UFO mob have a serious lack of imagination!
