    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

UFO?

Quite honestly, would you really expect the government to publicize bonafide evidence of alien civilizations that it found?

they don't even tell us about possibly dangerous approaching asteroids/close calls until after they've already passed and the threat is gone. I highly doubt they would tell us anything about alien civilizations or alien contact if it were made (and would probably only try to use such knowledge for their own military advancement). scary stuff our government.
what, me, worry?
:eek:
 
Okay. :-] Sorry if I was preaching to the choir, Donna.

Yep, that's SETI@home, and as far as I know, it's still going. Others have made similar programs like Einstein@home (reduce data from gravitational wave detectors) and some stuff for cancer, I think.

As for asteroids, actually there are multiple websites that track NEAs (Near-Earth Asteroids). There are astronomers whose entire jobs are to look for and catalog asteroids. No asteroids (as of yet) have truly threatened Earth. The astronomers put up probabilities of collision long before an accurate orbit has been calculated, and the media/public tend to go off the deep end about it without bothering to look at the errorbars of the calculation!

Oh, I know what you mean, Webslave. :) I don't trust much (if anything) any politician says, and I know the government lies to us, probably on a daily basis. I wouldn't be surprised if there's semi-decent evidence of alien civilizations. However, astronomers are not well-known for being tight-lipped; the astronomer grapevine here is a short one indeed! I find it difficult to believe that if someone observing on Arecibo found possible evidence of alien life and/or one of the asteroid-hunters found a dangerous asteroid, word wouldn't get around. Especially with the asteroid stuff, 'cause there are tons and tons of amateur astronomers who are constantly looking for asteroids as well.
 
I don't know what would be more disconcerting to me. That there is no other detectable intelligent life in the universe, or that there is, but they are hiding from or ignoring us.
 
Thanks again, R Eventide.

That's the program I was using...SETI@home.

Cool stuff.

I may even get back to it now that I know it's still available.

Indeed. :-/ Though, I'd probably guess the former. If it's the latter, at least we know there's intelligent life out there. :D

Hey Chuck, what happened?

NASA launches rocket, dozens report strange lights

WALLOPS ISLAND, Va. – NASA says it successfully launched a rocket in Virginia as part of an experiment, and the blast may have caused dozens of people to report seeing strange lights in the sky.

The space agency said it launched the Black Brant XII on Saturday evening to gather data on the highest clouds in the Earth's atmosphere. About the time of the launch, dozens of people in the Northeast started calling local television stations to report seeing strange lights.

The calls came from as far away as Boston, which is about 380 miles northeast of the launch site.

The rocket is designed to create an artificial cloud. NASA hopes the experiment will provide information on the formation and properties of noctilucent clouds, which occur at high altitudes.

Hey, Chuck.

Are these your friends??

I know that there's an air field there in Tejas that NASA uses...could this possibly be an explanation??

I'm not being bitchy.

Just curious...
 
Chuck, what you was was real, not fake.

Their are alot of sightings in Florida strictly because its by the waters, and because we have alot of interlligent bases for the military. Just whatever you do, dont make yourself visible to them, or they will haunt you till your scared.

Steven, that wasn't nice.

I inherited this video camera from my dad. It is so old that I'll bet you anything that your brothers marriage had a longer shelf life than the battery that came with it.

I got the cable. Its the perfect length if I were considering hanging myself with it, but the:censored: thing that plugs into the :censored: camera end of it doesn't seem to want to fit. So now I have to send the :censored: thing back to the seller and he'll see if he has the right cable to :censored: send back to me. And that means a trip to my lovely spanish only speaking post office here in the lovely kissimmee, fl. Last week it took me twenty minutes to explain I wanted a roll of stamps.

So thank you for your patience. :rofl:
 
Okay Chuck, I wasn't going to chime in on this, but I think we live pretty close to each other and you are a Vince Slap-Chop guy so I'll throw this in.

I leave for work early in the a.m. (5:15ish). I was on my short-cut to I-75 about 2 months ago (and quite wide awake). Just crossed the Hernando-Pasco county line and saw movement over the treetops about a quarter of a mile away.

Whatever I saw was probably a couple of hundred feet long and cigar shaped. It was flying straight and fast about 50 feet over the treeline. No lights at all. It was dark in color, but not so dark I couldn't make it out against the sky (it was night for all intents and purposes). The three things that really stuck out to me were the speed, lack of sound and no lights (including any kind of visible jet burn).

Could have been some freaky experimental thing I guess, but I'm in the Air Force and even the various stealths had nothing on this...

There's my UFO story - and it really was a UFO. It was flying and damned if I could identify it.

I just hope we're not comparing anal probes in a year... LOL

Theres alot of planes that travel to the Homestead military base at midnight, and mornings, might have been a plane traveling to a base.

What I can't figure out is why travel all those light years just to probe some Earthling's anus???? Are evenings REALLY that long and dull on Betelgeuse?

I think I just though of the reason for the probing of the Earthling's anus'. There is a large portion of the Earthlings I have encountered with their heads up their asses and probing is the only way to get to the brain to see how they tick. It's a theory. :shrug01:
