I realize some of these have been debunked (Norway, Jerusalem), accept the proof of it or don't, I don't really care. But there's more than 2 sightings in this video, and I doubt all of them have been scientifically proven to be fake. Until then, keep an open mind. Actually it's you who is not keeping an open mind. You want angels to exist for some reason, then you get hyper defensive when others point out flaws in that line of thinking. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/qeUtj.jpg) 11,500 pieces of space junk, in Earths low orbit alone(800 - 1,500km) I would imagine, that if two of these human made objects happens to crash together, some kind of collision/explosion/etc will occur. Not to mention the 1,147 pieces of space junk, orbiting in geostationary orbit: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/YpVIz.jpg) at approximately 35,786km And who knows what else, we've thrown out there. | ||

There's so many weather phenomena and explanations that these things are just ridiculous nowdays. Anybody who thinks aliens would travel across the universe to do stupid shit in the stratosphere or abduct every un-creditable person on the planet is a idiot. | ||

Don't take this as me agreeing that those videos some how prove there is alien life, but saying that last thing is a little idiotic in its own rights is it not? I mean speaking from an exploratory stand point upon arrival you're not going to really know who's the one you want let a lone actually understand anything about communication etc. | ||

To be fair, that is no different from the bible or a random person using calculations and claims the earth is square. But to be fair, maybe you should check the context in which I posted it and to whom I replied with it. | ||

Obviously it's not, lol, and I can't believe someone would say that. One uses logical reasoning, the other two just provide statements without any kind of proof. Do you think some greek dude sat down and just calculated the shadow of a stone and said: "yeah pretty sure that means earth has a width of x, and you better believe it otherwise you're going to hell". There's a lot more to it than that. | ||

What I find fascinating is how most people consider aliens to be gods of predicting and calculating. We humans, who have mastered quite a lot in statistics and math, can't even predict the economy for like 2 Weeks (even more so the weather). I find it hilarious to think, that like 5000Y ago, some Aliens told the Mayans "Yo dawgs, in year 2012 we gonna come and get y'all!" -> incredibly unlikely, if they get caught in a UFO traffic jam and get late they will look like fools! | ||

One day, my GF and I were sitting at my moms place at night talking with some of their friends and generally just enjoying ourselves. At one time my GF points to the sky and asks me what 'that' is. In the night sky was a small white dot, flying in a linear path, I assured her that it was probably a plane or a satellite (can we see satellites from earth?). Our eyes followed its path, and suddenly without warning, it turned 90 degrees and went in the exact opposite direction. This was quite strange and I immediately thought that it had to be a pretty agile aircraft to make that turn (jet perhaps?), but honestly, I didn't know what it could have been. It very much looked like some of those video instances in this video, although, as I said before, I still believe it to be something explainable and rather boring. This was in Denmark, last summer. (almost a year ago from now) | ||

What 'random calculations?' I actually agree with your standpoint in the burden of proof argument, but your analogy is very poor. | ||

Step 1: Observe odd visual phenomenon. Step 2: Refuse and deny naturalistic explanations. Step 3: Assume that it's an alien spaceship. ...really? Humans are natural "agent" seekers. We observe a phenomenon that we can't explain, and we assume that an intelligent agent was behind it. This was an evolutionary adaption that conferred an advantage onto us. If our ancestors heard a noise in the bush and assumed it was a lion and gtfo, they lived. If they heard a noise and assumed it was the wind but it was actually a lion, they get eaten. Ancient civilizations did it with weather (they assumed Gods did it), some modern religious people do it with Intelligent Design, and I do it today when I hear noises when I'm alone in my house. It's a natural, ingrained, and irrational assumption. | ||

It's a natural, ingrained, and irrational assumption. The stupid logic can go both ways. Observe it and claim there's someone/thing behind it, or observe it and say it was just a coincidence (naturalistic explanation). Why I thought these sightings were unique / interesting.. most of them looked the exact same with multiple videos behind them. I have not heard any 'naturalistic explanations' of the specific ones I'm talking about (I realize SOME of them are fake, people). Until then, because I find it interesting, I can theory craft about what they might be and put the puzzle pieces together. How is that ANY more wrong than seeing something like this video and automatically making a post like you saying everyone else who believes this is an idiot? I'm tired of internet assholes who think that posting in a thread saying how everyone else is dumb will SOMEHOW make them cooler. It doesn't. If you want to contribute theorycraft, give real examples of debunking these.. etc.. Don't just come in here and say something to the extent of "Every single one of these videos are fake. You people are stupid for thinking they are real. I give no proof of anything but somehow my points hold more weight than yours. L8R". FFS. | ||

In which you hear them talking about the things they are seeing. You are aware that, by definition, a piece of shit thrown to the air is officially an UFO until closely analized and identified as something else, right? If you conclude aliens from any of those videos I don't really know what else to tell you... "Aldrin confirmed that there was no such sighting of anything deemed extraterrestrial, and said they were and are "99.9 percent" sure that the object was the detached panel. Interviewed by the Science Channel, Aldrin mentioned seeing unidentified objects, and he claims his words were taken out of context; he asked the Science Channel to clarify to viewers he did not see alien spacecraft, but they refused." - http://astrobiology.nasa.gov/ask-an-astrobiologist/question/?id=1568 - http://www.ufoevidence.org/cases/case592.htm - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buzz_Aldrin#UFO_claims | ||

Not many people are giving you too much detailed proof because not many are willing to waste their time with people like you. Since these are so poorly made that it should be clear for anyone.

Would love to have some of those things around, aliens are so 1947 & angels aren't exactly the freshest thing around either. But Angelic Aliens, now that might just be the next hipster thing you know. | ||
