Oh great!

Now I won't be able to bring my fine RSK Mk1 with me when we board the mother ship!

If we ban weapons in space ... only the ET's will have weapons.

Oh, I don't know. Raise your hand if you've ever thought this one over, even if after a few beers.

Aliens land on the white house lawn
-at the Kremiln
-Tienamen Square
-outside the UN
-in LA (they might feel at home)
-in YOUR yard
Are they non-hostile?
-really lost?
-speaking a human language?
-bearing gifts?
-wanting gifts?
-vaugely humanish?
-able handle our atmo?
-annoyed with us?

Please tell me I'm not the only one who, for giggles, not worked this out along with the other emergencies that could hapen.

The presence of idiots like this gentleman explains the need for web sites like ETS. (So begins the rant.) One of the main reasons I believe in preparedness and self-sufficiency is not just the threat of a disaster, but the reaction to same from the from the idiots who make the National Enquirer the most widely read periodical in the US. The Inmates are currently running the asylum. Apparently, this simpleton was the former Minister of Defence.

True story.....

1996, arctic survival school, Eielson AFB. About 1900 we are doing flare training, students poping red nighttime flares. A BIG fireball appears overhead, and flashes to the south. One Tech asks "was that a ufo?" Another student, a Major, at that time assigned to NORAD, told us in a round about way that "you dont know, and your dont want to know".

UFOs are real, but i really don't think our government has a clue has to what they are..natural or alien.

Of course they are real. People have seen things, with the naked eye, backed up by either large numbers, photography, or various sesning systems. A couple million people can't all be wrong. And 99% of them can be identied.

It's that 1% that defy logical (and sometimes farfetched) explination that makes the whole thing so interesting. I've seen things that I sure as heck can't explain, and I have a stronger than average in aircraft AND astronomy.

" the White House of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, who himself has publicly reported a 1969 Close Encounter of the First Kind with a UFO..."

I seem to remember Jimmy having an encounter with a white rabbit at about the same time. It had large teeth and tried to board his canoe. Unlike many at the time I didn't doubt his sanity--I grew up on Monty Python.

Regards, Vince

Edit: My apologies: the White Rabbit episode occured several years later while he was President.

All I saw during arctic survival school were the northern lights. I'm sitting there with a smuggled radio getting russian accordian music and Jimi Hendrix singing ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER, eating my also smuggled Hershey bars and going "Wow man" like John Muir when everybody else was in their survival trench. I grew up with lessons in relations with ' the Good Neighbors' from my great grandmother, Golems from a jewish aunt, Snow demons from the tibetan Bon-Buddhist tradition and initiated into a clan society in a Kiva. Any ET's show up better know their Gaia folklore and fullfill my cultural expectations on peril of their lives. My luck the'll be dumber than my other aunt who went on the roof during rainstorms with a flashlight to warn the ships at sea. <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

The day little green aliens and UFOs appear in Washington, D.C. is the same day I stop paying taxes. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Coincidentally, that's also the same day I pull my gear out of the closet and high tail it to the woods for some long-awaited camping.
