Aliens spotted? Hoax?

How probable is this? I mean, it definitely looks like another hoax, but what has drawn my eye to this particular story is the fact that unlike most farfetched stories, where the people who report them say that there is a 2% chance that the rest of the world will actually be affected by the protagonists of said story, these people have actually pinned a date when we'll be able to see them.

I've searched around a bit and I wasn't able to find any response by governments or NASA or anyone regarding this story, which leads me to believe that it isn't anything serious and is most likely just made up.

But what do you guys think? With the millions of stars in the sky, every other surrounded by a handful of planets, it isn't all that impossible for extraterrestrial life to exist. That being said, maybe those life forms have better technology, or possibly even access to materials not available on our planet which allow them to travel here. And by here, I don't necessarily mean they came all this way to kidnap us and destroy our planet, but perhaps they're just exploring space or going on a mission of their own and our planet just happens to be along the way.

 

[The_Silent]

Defiantly hoax. Its almost certain other alien life forms exists, but that they should ever be able to reach us is impossible according to all the laws of physic, and before anyone begin saying that the laws of physics are not accurate or directly false, let me remind you that the self same laws enables you to watch television, use electricity, and so forth.

 

[CMarket]

laws of physics are not accurate or directly false

Actually, classic physics was considered to be the only real physics when measuring stuff like speed and time. Then came the theory of relativity, stating that no speed can exceed the speed of light. While this has proven to be true so far, if one day we do exceed that speed than a new set of laws will have to be placed to match speeds above the speed of light. We don't know everything just yet and it's safe to say that not all of the laws of physics are 100% accurate.

Also, I don't think this website is trustworthy

It was actually in the news and I read it on another site which wasn't so... colorful, however I can't locate those news on that site now.

So, either the Aliens are immortal gods

Well, apparently the biggest space ship is the size of Slovenia, so one could assume that if they had the technology to move such a large ship at such a high speed they also had the technology to grow their own food and survive in such a vehicle for a very long time.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

If it wasn't hoax, it wouldn't show up first on a "news" website that has a section specifically titled "aliens"
Specifically a website that also has articles titled:
"Sex education mandatory for Kindergartners"
"Alien outpost discovered in Antarctica"
"Alien chip discovered in Napoleon's Skull"

It's a farce news website, it's not meant to be taken seriously.

 

[Rui]

Maybe they're going to offer us a Stargate and the huge spaceship is just a metaphor to say: «the universe is this large».

Of course it's a hoax. I'd say unfortunately, but then again, they'd have to park on someone's apartment.

 

[Deleted member 177737]

Well, it looks like its time to build a shrine to the dark god Cthulhu and sacrifice 200 goats a day in the hopes that we are not attacked by aliens.

On a non-cthulhu note: Totally a fake website.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Jupiter is roughly 390,700,000 miles away from Earth. If they're at Jupiter and 3 months away from Earth, they're moving at a fast speed, probably around 200,000 miles per hour. Well, the closest star to Earth is roughly 4.2 light years away, and a light year is 5.87849981 × 1012 miles, so they've obviously been traveling for a long time.

So, either the Aliens are immortal gods or its another hoax.


Also, I don't think this website is trustworthy:

Nobody thought about a eco-system within a huge spaceship?

Well we don't know everything yet, actually were just starting to get advanced technology so how can you say things arent possible.

And no i think if the whole world were to possibly end or be attacked by aliens the whole world would be notified. =p

 

[CMarket]

Also, if there's Aliens moving about space, it doesn't mean that they're guaranteed to go straight to Earth.

Which is what I said in the original post. And, as I said, this isn't the only place which I found this story, and, more importantly, it isn't the first place where I read it, meaning either that the other websites have taken it down because it's a hoax or some super secret government ninja hackers don't want people to know the truth, dum dum duuuuumm...

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Have you found it on any /respectable/ news sites?

 

[CMarket]

Well, more respectable than this one, which isn't saying much, but nowhere near sites like that of cnn or bbc.

Hi there, I wanted to share some of my knowledge about the topic and making it as compact as possible, as I was into research and could give tons of links of very real cases.

But first, for the picture.. it looks somewhat like a hoax. There has never been so exposed flying saucer, not to say these are not the only shape of crafts. Also SETI as others who study UFOs agree, was rather useless as if there are creatures here already, what are they for? MUFON is doing much better job than seti..

If you read below, you will see Im someone who is 50% about they are here, 50% about they are something else, right between believing and skeptic, im not frm those crazy guys who believe the everyday videos are UFOs ... So this from the article:

Beginning in August of 2011 the U.N. will begin preparing citizens of the world for the attack of the three spaceships – which are believed to come from Planet Zeeba.

- Is hard to be taken seriously, to me this is not even attempt to hoax, it's a total mockery at 'believers' to catch it like a big fish as the real truth 'UFOs are coming'.

What is a UFO? A UFO is any object that is unknown/unidentified and that includes military craft or balloon, machine, satellite, anything that cannot be identified. Thus, it is wrong when the so called skeptics say 'This person has seen nothing, he is a lier'. Well due to the so many cases of sightings people DO see such UFOs (excluding the cases where they do not distinguish lights or camera lens reflection and call them a 'ufo') . What are they? Just test drones of the US Air Force? Less likely due to the vague information about Greys or other aliens but still ... aliens, ancient earth dwellers? Some even decide to say - another dimension creatures ? No one can tell.

One thing is certain - something IS going on, what - USAF do know something we dont. Like have you heard of cases wherea UFO temp disables the nuke silos of the US army? Why would the US do it on their own army lol? Unless there is an unannounced COLD WAR of new technology hidden by both US and Russia and they send 'UFOs' on each other?

Even if so, what kind of technology is that, traveling with nearly the speed of light? One object separating into other objects? Changing shapes? Is this human at all? Look at their eyes, why do they tear when talking? - I mean those in the video look dead serious to me..

Yes but have you heard of the ancient astronaut theory and how much it matches lots of the historical pictures and stories talking about unearthly creatures visiting the people?
http://www.ufoevidence.org/ancientastronauts.htm

In fact the Bible has two options - 1) it is a complete joke 2) it is describing other entities in a way people would understand. No demons, angels or Light created us with shaking the MAGICAL WAND (sorry religions people)

It's also so hard to call things true, some are conspiracists talking about underground bases with ancient aliens or lizard-like creatures which describes such encounters... who work together with humans and keep in secret their existence since the 1930s and some of the missing people are brought to be experimented upon, being kept in cages like animals... It's crazy but it cannot be called completely false, like it cannot be callec completetly true. Names you can't trust: John Lear, Bob Lazar, David Icke. Another guy called Phil Schneider got murdered after also talking about some tunnels he has worked on and encountering such Greys levels deep in the tunnels which he says are connected to ancient caves existing from thousands of years (he is a geologist).

I just get goose bumps from talking about them but as I;ve been a long time researcher and I got tired and tired of the same things repeating with no new evidence, other than some guys deciding to tell their story... it gets boring and I decided researching UFOs at that time is a waste of time, until something more evident happens.

Actually we had in my city a UFO on 31st August 2010 that matches all features of a UFO - what's interesting is there is not just one video - there are two different other people who have recorded the same thing, different camera, different part of the city, again these lights. And it was ON THE NEWS - our news don' air UFO report for the lolz as people fake ufos during the entire year but this was different.

Im gonna look in the skies around that date this year but I doubt I will find anything other than shooting starts, planes or a satellite. UFOs also occur often with events such as solar eclipses, comets, meteor showers.

It all makes sense now, Mayan calenders predicted this, I mean, they predicted that world is going to end in 2012, so why not throw in some Aliens while at it?

 

[Dr Super Good]

They are from the Arcane Empire offering us use of warp gate technology so that they can invade our planet and take us over. Do not worry though, we will develop hyper drive long before completing the warp gate and so there would no longer be any need for a warp gate and their invasion ploy would fail.

While such stories are a total joke, you never know what part of them may be true. Ask the damn USAF what they are hiding and why make themselves look like idiots or thinking the people are idiots when they say one thing, the next day they change their story so the second must be true. Come on even the UK had a very signifcant case around the 1980s. If they are just military crafts (as if we can ever call them 'Simply' or 'just') wow what kind of technology is to travel with such speed and what kind of flying technology at all and some strange symbols seen on an alleged ship were seen, i think in that UK case. Like way to go technology, time travel, come back with hundres of years advanced technology and this is plain human creation, 'cool story bro'

 

[Dr Super Good]

I see very few of you have played Galactic Civilizations II... Next time I will just throw out one about lombaxes instead.

If aliens did exist with faster than light travel and had found this planet, then this entire planet would be flooded by tourists or already be conqured. If the alien civilization was so advanced that it could control tourisim and move beyond the need for violence, then they would not bother comming here anyway, and instead would watch us with a remote satalite of some kind (tiny) that we would not even be aware of (would appear as a commet or asteroid).

In the picture of the universe. our planet is meaningless. If tried to to get to us with slower than light travel (which is so far believed to be the only possible means of getting anywhere) then the big question is why? They would have been traveling for billions of years, probably before this planet even had noticable life. Additionally the life they would find here might be interesting to them, but it would be prety dull as they may might operate entirly differently from conventional life.

So whats the result? This is garunteed to be another hoax. There is no reason aliens should ever vist us currently.

Humanity only might encoutner aliens once we ourselves become "aliens". In that case any advanced aliens would pose little threat (as we would be equally or more advanced than them) and other aliens we find that are pre space travel would be meaningless to us (as why bother going to some alien life filled planet when you could mine an asteroid or mineral rich uninhabited planet that has no life trhowing spanners in the mining machinery).

 

[Elite Slayer]

I haven't yet read the entire article - I merely scanned through it, but I can picture the general opinion and information from what I have read so far. I must acknowledge my skepticism.

Let's assume that aliens existed on one of the closest extrasolar planets capable of sustaining life (and thus appropriate to use for this example). For example, Gliese 581G. That planet, thought to contain the appropriate ecological conditions to make it capable of sustaining life, is approximately 20.5 light years from Earth. That is to say, it would take 20.5 years to traverse across the distance if one were able to travel at light-speed (3 x 10⁹ meters per second, or roughly 1 864 114 miles per second). Thus far, humankind is aware of no such locomotive technology that can achieve this feat in any conceivable or convenient amount of time, and the science-fiction idea that all extraterrestrial races bear mind-wracking technology is not only cliche, but also improbable, considering the wide spectrum of possibilities of what an extraterrestrial race may be like (in fact, scientists are assuming that the only ascertained possibility of extraterrestrial life is little more than microscopic bacteria). And that is if there are even extraterrestrial life forms in our galaxy (some will argue with me here, but take into consideration the scarcity of inhabitable planets or the fact we have been unable to confirm the existence of other intelligent life forms, and so on) That, in addition to the forementioned argument that they would have no real reason to come here, makes me skeptical about this. I'm sorry, but I would have to call bull on this one.

I won't defy the laws of physics, and neither say they're false. But what you are trying to say has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with physics. Physics controls our environment and whatever happens to it.

What you should have talked about is Probability. The chances of an alien coming in contact with us is so small, you would have more chances of winning the jackpot on (insert gambling service here) 3 times in a row. Still, it is probability, and is never accurate, and thus you cannot use it to disagree or agree with something. This occurs almost all the time because of variables that are not calculatable by humans. Any variable changing can force a different outcome.

 

[Magtheridon96]

Worst Case Scenario: It's true.

But, think about it, if there was an alien race coming to us, wouldn't you expect them to be intelligent enough to like.. "NOT" Kill us or something

So, even if it was true, nothing to worry about ;D

We should ask Special agent Mulder and Special Agent Dana Scully!

I know some people don't think such have ever visited us and that makes sense considering, everyone, me included have observed the skies in my astronomy courses and in the free time as well, the most I've seen was a satellite... nothing unusual.

If the alien civilization was so advanced that it could control tourisim and move beyond the need for violence, then they would not bother comming here anyway, and instead would watch us with a remote satalite of some kind (tiny) that we would not even be aware of (would appear as a commet or asteroid).

You are on WARM here. I think we may have been watched, like we watch ants, we are a zoo for them. What however leads to think that there may have been visitation (above I said what does not - obviously the fact that we dont see any abnormal stuff - oh some do), how did we become what we are today? - From chimpanzees? Sorry there is already a theory of credible scientists NOT conspiracists that we may have not evloved from them, we could be a saeparate species.

And if we call the Bible the absolute fake, then think about it, if it is true - what makes you think it cannot be misinterpreted Genetics Engineering? Cloning? What makes you think we may not be someone's Lab creation?

Have you seen the Shumerian writings? (no forget Nibiru and all the talk about 2012), just the parts talking about people coming from the skies?

'People coming from the skies' - When Indians (native Americans) called the trains in America 'Iron Horses' why people from the skies, DRAGONS cannot be spaceships or any vehicles?

Have you seen CAVE drawings? Things that look like saucers or unhuman creators, i mean some drawings are not just 'bad artists' but clearly a recreation of something they have seen. You should not deny people draw what they see. Here is an example:

This was drawn in the 16th century when people saw some cigar shaped objects and orbs among the skies. Today there are reports of cigar shaped objects, orbs. Did the military got time machine?

Or this:

Look, Im not Fox Mulder, but more of a Scully person, I just dont think you can ignore many significant cases, I dont buy the websites that talk about Arcturians, Pleiadians, Siriusians, Draconians, Reptillians, Insectoids, Greys/Zeta Reticulians, NORDIC (like Thor ) wtf? They have more details one would say they have met them... and this is total bs fiction (apology if it is not but served like that sounds like crap)

Where are they? Do they exist? Well some of all this crap and hoax may be true, you can look at the facts, there are many quite real things pointing to that, and the Bible or any talking about someone from the skies... better be not true cause if it is... it is that.

Why not tell us if they existed at all? Because:

I, I myself do not believe in those that much, im just reading facts of real events and making connections and the problem is that things are more inclined to have some truth than not. And this is just taking some unexplained or non debunked cases, forget the thousand cases of identified objects like someone's misinterpretation or even light reflection of the camera or all these conspiracies about 2012 and how the elite is preparing for an end.

[Magtheridon96]

I wonder when we humans are going to realize that a flying saucer isn't a bad idea as a means of transport...
They're kinda like frisbies
You apply a small force, they spin like crazy ^^

 

[Magtheridon96]

Uhm... well, they might work well in space, but on Earth, planes are a tab bit more... aerodynamic

It depends on how fast they could go
Planes requires a huge amount of thrust
Saucers would require a spinning top and some momentum

They could easily go beyond Mach 7 speeds ^^

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

Oh and DSG you're from the UK right? The Rendlesham Forest Incident (UK) is one of the mostcredible cases ever. Even Rosewell that is considered the biggest event now after some declassifications is said to be just Project Mogul balloons and Phoenix Lighs are less of unusual especially since the possibility that the military may have created some special flares that appear like lined orbs is probable.

Rosewell is like that: Project Mogul, balloons or radars or smth, they sent chimpanzees that seemed to have crashed so the found dead bodies belong to monkeys, at the same time some people who know have witnessed it insist on there having been alien bodies. So fuck off with that case it;s full of attempts to disinform or hoaxers, I dont bother with it at all, as it turned out even the biggest event could turn out to be fake, so for that reason I stopped following the UFO stuff lately...

I've talked to astronomers in our observatory about some cases, ofc they like every scientist says ETs have never landed or visited us. I know that story, but when I told them some cases, they didn't disagree just said they do not know.

On a whole notha note, we're just being spied upon. I hope they don't know what a middle finger pointing at the sky is.

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

That's true, with one guy we argued about the same him saying people create things frm folklore. But you know, while some pictures are indeed just art, let's not forget people used drawing as the only way to describe things they have seen. Cavemen, native Americans even later on frescos, pictures, people have drawn what they see as the only way to recreate something. What makes strange about these drawings is that they show the exact same depiction of things that are reported today. Cylinder shaped objects, disks, what kind of early imagination involved saucers and orbs reported nowadays?

Now leaving this theory aside, I think that it is possible there are underground dwellers and im not crazy as I don't believe such stories that much but I have seen several people talking about 1 thing - beings hiding in the depths of the oceans like caves or caves very deep underground. I recently came across a book called 'Ufo Highway' by A, Sanchez - this is not the only one talking about it. 2 other people (Thomas Castello and Phil Schneider) talk about having worked at military installations connected to some natural caves - the existence of such a base is not a secret - it's called NORAD.

However, this book (it is in the form of an interview with a former worker there) as well as the other two persons talk about a military installation around Dulce, New Mexico. This book specifically says about Thomas Castello who writes about some reptilians hiding underground:

That story is not real. If I cannot validate the existence of [96]
Thomas Edwin Castello, no
one can.

So this book claims to be speaking real things, at first it starts about a group of people military psychologists whose job is to examine and report each military personnel's state and they were once sent to deeper levels of an underground facility called Dulce, then they come across rooms with technology they do not know - some symbols on a metallic plates, purple illuminating windows and screens, machinery they also see being futuristic.

The book talks about beings hiding underground which very much goes in a similar way to Castello's story but less exaggerated way. This is not the only talk about such thing, other sources and people have also claimed there are dwellers on our planet that may actually belong to someone else and we would be the guests. Extracts from the book:

'I had been assigned on many top secret projects before, and in fact, the year before the
Dulce assignment I had been on one particular job having to do with a recovery mission
from a crash site located near [4] Fort Irwin down south ... The survivors said the unidentified object appeared to be tracking them, almost playing
with them, coming closer with each pass. One man reported that a deafening high-pitch
sound penetrated the plane's walls, drowning out the aircrafts own engine noise,
causing them painful headaches. By the final pass from the object, the C-130E
immediately began to stall, ultimately crashing. Two men died.'

'Something had happened at this Dulce Installation. And I say it in that manner because I
had never heard of Dulce before. I knew of [12] Kirtland AFB by Albuquerque and [13]
Holloman near Alamogordo, but I had never of, and I repeat, never had heard of the
Dulce New Mexico Installation. I’d been to the desert high-terrain of northern New
Mexico many times before with family, but never on business'

'Colonel, what did they find inside the facility?

'In the reports prepared by the soldiers (who were told to record what they had found),
they discovered that the uninhabited upper levels held many of what appeared to be
ancient artifacts interspersed among modern looking but unfamiliar machines.
Some walls were covered with RADAR-like screens, and there also appeared to be
individual personnel stations, but mysteriously not large enough for any human to fit in;
and some fitted with various sorts of cryptography machines, or what appeared to
possibly be electric typewriters. All of these were connected to the flat RADAR-like
screens.

'Colonel, who are the inhabitants?'

'First are the Progenitors; aliens from the Sirius system. Second are the Anu (Anunna,
possibly the same as the Anunnaki from Ancient Sumer); their genetically enhanced
offspring the Progenitors. Third is the Austra Albus; the offspring of the Anu, and finally
the Greys; not related genetically to the Progenitor lineage. If you will, there is a fifth
group … modern humans; genetically modified for a specific reason.

Now, with the ability to read their writings, the names of the subterranean inhabitants
and other associated groups were discovered as was their entire history. Over time our
researchers began to understand exactly what had happened at this location,
understanding who these inhabitants and other groups were, and who among them was
outside of the caverns. And we also learned how and why with all of their technology
they were seemingly trapped here.'

Call it crazy, I don't expect anyone to believe it, I have a hard time believeing such things, im just throwing some real talking about terrestrials besides humans. Imagine if it were true? Would your mind accept it? No, it sounds too extraordinary. Lots of details though, Im not sure people who make fiction on the books give that kind of details.

The fact that several people talk about such thing makes me thing there is something about it, I still believe it a little it is possible so dont ever call me a nuthead, I'm pretty sceptical about any UFO related events. But just because any of you are too certain about them not existing here cause, see we live our daily lives, go to work, that DOES NOT mean you are right, let's just say it is possible. You never know what is happening in these military facilities down there do you? At least when several people former employees who remain anonymous talk, there is rather better to listen to them than someone who says there is nothing by not even being part of it?

 

[Elite Slayer]

It depends on how fast they could go
Planes requires a huge amount of thrust
Saucers would require a spinning top and some momentum

They could easily go beyond Mach 7 speeds ^^

I am slightly doubtful regarding the efficiency of that. It is the thrust, when applied to the structure of the aeroplane, that allows it to be guided in any certain direction in the spectrum of aerodynamics. The aerodynamics of a "spinning-top"-style aircraft would be unnecessarily complicated, and applying thrust in the desired direction would require tedious engineering that would result in many phases of failure, if it isn't downright impossible. Besides, Bernoulli's principle (how the pressure of moving gas decreases proportionally to an increase in velocity) applies far more efficiently to the wings of a plane. Not to mention the financial implications...

 

[boomwolf]

If there is one reason to disregard it, one reason only, it would be as Elite Slayer has said, a "flying saucer" type aircraft is HIGHLY inefficient. there is a reason why all of out aircraft/race cars are tear-shaped, it simply works better, in fact its mathematically the best, and a civilization advanced enough for inter-galactic travel MUST have realized it by now...

Now, if you give me an alien ship that resembles a super-high-tech human aircraft with obvious non-human technology, then I'll change my mind. or if you find any kind of aircraft that resembles nothing we could have imagined so far, because as far as human minds went so far-nothing beats tear-shaped aircraft in speed, maneuverability, and efficiency. (admittedly one-wing aircraft also have some advantages, but only for very specific uses...)

 

[albertroy]

Just wanna ask if someone saw an orb in the sky moving back and forth in various speeds?. At first I thought it was a plane cause it was soooo slow, but then it stopped then moved back from where I saw it appear so fast. Then it started to move back and forth real fast. I spotted it here in the Philippines. Im not sure what it was really and, I wont go saying its an alien spacecraft or something. Im just not sure really, so maybe you could give an opinion.

 

[albertroy]

I know the United States has planes that are capable of stopping in mid-flight, and then continuing, or atleast prototypes.

The Harriers right?? But what would a US plane be doing in the phills. And of course their airforce should've intercepted it right??

 

[albertroy]

I only saw that plane in a game anyway, but I know its real. Btw the orb thingy I saw couldnt be a plane,

How about this story, I've been researching about UFO's during WWII time, so I've found this story.



In the early morning hours of February 25th 1942, air raid sirens woke the fitfully sleeping population of Los Angeles at 2:25 AM. Antiaircraft batteries trained their barrels skyward and opened up on targets lighted by arcing seachlights. About 1400 rounds were fired for the next two hours, hitting nothing but homes and cars thoughout the L.A. Basin. There were three deaths, and three elderly residents reportedly died of heart attacks. There was also one reported murder committed during the blackout of the city.

The day before, a Japanese submarine surfaced off Santa Barbara and shelled an oil facility in the small coastal town of Goleta. Combined with the recent bombing of Pearl Harbor almost three months before, public awareness was at a wartime high


The only thing that came out of the sky that evening was a couple of tons of shrapnel. Gunnery officers claimed hundreds of direct hits, but no aircraft, balloons, blimps, or other things authorized to be in the air at the time were found in a tangled wreck on the ground. The next day, Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox stated “as far as I know the whole raid was a false alarm and could be attributed to jittery nerves.” This of course did not explain the thousands of sightings and whatever it was that trained soldiers had seen. Most observers reported mutliple objects, although the one photo we are left with comes from the front page of Los Angeles Times of February 25th, which shows an indistinct, but vaguely flying saucer-shaped object.

Optical physicist/ ufologist Bruce Maccabbee wrote a detailed report on this incident which concluded that, based on estimates of altitude and spread of the light beams, the object was about 330 feet across. The fact remains that for at least an hour, apparently something slower than an aircraft and which couldn’t be damaged by a contstant barrage of large-caliber shells floated over the greater Los Angeles area in the pre-dawn hours of February 25th, 1942.
