UFO / abductions / conspiracy theory


Hey guys



Perhaps not the best topic to create after just creating one regarding cannabis ... but oh well!

I was just wondering if any onf you have had UFO sightings / supernatural experiences / enjoy conspiracy theories (some of which are more like conspiracy FACTS!)

I personally havent had any UFO sightings , although i have had 1 horrible supernatural experience.

Tell your stories and ill tell mine !

Re: UFO / abductions / conspiracy theory


I recently saw something that I couldn't identify, it started as a bright glow high in the sky, as it moved toward the horizon it dimmed, but it was not flashing, it was an ever constant glow just at dusk. it eventually faded, but it had the speed of a lower flying plane, but seemingly much higher, and in all probability faster.
I always have the odd luck of looking up at the right time to catch the odd object falling through the atmosphere, I'm assuming this was something similar, but bigger.

..and yeah, maybe you should hold off if you're running around on "gritweed", it lends a lack of credibility

Re: UFO / abductions / conspiracy theory


I have definately seen a UFO before, as for it being terestrial or not is a diff. matter. I do believe most certainly there is other life out there. No paranormal encounters that I can recall. Lastly, I have grown to love watching a good conspiracy debate unfold and occasionally add fuel to the fire and chime in now and again. It's all in good spirits though. Some of that stuff is pretty deep and really gets you thinking. Nice topic dude. Good luck with the badbud thing too. That's gotta suck.

That could have been the International Space Station.

I was reading the info, and it was traveling the correct direction and lasted the appropriate duration. The only thing was the glow, it almost looked like a pulsing flare, which I suppose could have been the sun's reflection off the solar panels?

Re: UFO / abductions / conspiracy theory


I don't know about UFO's/Alien sightings..

but some years ago on british TV a program called 'Beadles About', they tried to hoax an old lady by saying aliens had landing in her garden. Its probably one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Check it out:

Re: UFO / abductions / conspiracy theory


hahaha this was the only topic Jemsite was missing ... I remember I was a lot into UFOs and aliens when I was 14. I read a lot of articles and watched tons of videos, until I got tired of it. There must be other forms of life throughout the galaxy, remember there are millions of planets. But a conspiracy? Flying dishes? I'm not so sure. Don't care either. I think if these 'aliens' are far more intelligent than us, they should know that letting us all by ourselves is probably the best thing to do.

Re: UFO / abductions / conspiracy theory


When I was 13 or 14 my sister and I were walking out to the car. We were both looking up at the night sky and we both saw a brown roundd object 25m up fly past us in about a 1 second time span. We BOTH saw it. It was brown colored like it has light on it almost even though it was night time.

I believe in Aliens and ETs.

Re: UFO / abductions / conspiracy theory


I will admit i am a big conspiracy and ufo aficionado.
There are things in our history and in ancient scripts including the bible that suggest that our human history is not what we believe in today.
Myself and my wife saw glowing sphere flying through the sky on a recent road trip.
But i have to say , you have to have an open your mind to investigate and look at some of this stuff. If you are a skeptic person youll just end up insulting others, and angry.
I posted this up in an earlier thread tha another Jemsite member sent me and i edited together

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbFwx4Ul1MY

I have a background as Audio/Video engineer and this baffled me. Its not a fly or a bird.
It's lots of fun to investigate all this mysteries.

HAHA thats the same reason why i always wanted to work for the government/military =p I always wondered what lies in Area51 (or housed, not sure if its still in operation). One can only wonder if species from other plants have indeed visited Roswell or/& area 51. And then i think, if other beings from outer space traveled light years to get here, why would they end up on American soil and not any other country on this planet =p haha (But still, working at a secret military base and learning secrets would be cool)

This is highly intruiging.

May i just make the quick point that any smart arses discrediting me becuase i made a post concerning gritweed, are greatly mistaken - I did not say i smoke it , i am not a fool , i was merely informing my fellow guitar buddies of the dangers, as i have seen people here not even realise what it is. There is a big difference between some dumb teen stoners with bob marley hats and cannabis logo wallets, and someone who enjoys it the odd time for creativity in compositions.

Anyways !

That must have been most gruesome for you man . I am reading a lot of material atm regarding certain "species" of aliens being the same "demons and angels" of the historical religions , sumerian babylonian etc. It is amazing howmuch the modern alien stereotype is mentioned in the ancient world.

My experience was quite recent;

I went to bed with the cat , same as everynight. Fell asleep quite easy.
Went into a vivid dream where i met this teenaged girl and her little bro who was crying and very upset "i cant go into my room!" so i said, lets take a look. We went up and i went into the room...

BANG! i instantly awake with a horrible horrible feeling in the room , not your typical nightmare feeling , much more primordial.

So i go back to sleep. Straight back into the dream , this time going up the stairs with churchfolk who are reading Psalms and blessing the house. They go into the front bedroom, and i linger behind kindof sussing out the room.

BANG! i violently wake again with an even worse feeling , asif ive been told GET THE **** OUT OF HERE , YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS HERE. by this time my head was fryed, i didnt like it atall. The cat was also pacing the room and scratching at the door to get out of the house. I let her out and went back to bed.

So i fall asleep for the third time. Back in the bedroom on my own. I lay down on her bed and look at the ceiling.

BANG! i "awake" in this semi conscious mode , completely frozen and paralyzed with a massssive weight on my chest , invisible presence. At the same time i could feel a huge muscular arm punch down through my neck and face , through the bed and through the floor. It was a bizarre feeling , and i was in no doubt it was a show of strength ,kindof " witness my power , i can defy your laws of physics and occupy the same atomic psace as you do" it was HORRIBLE , then it started to fade and i heard by my ear thee most unusual voice , like a lot of voices multilayered at once , but -speaking on the inbreath- instead of the ehxhale as humans do "I can see and speak with you"

I awoke totally horrified, 5am-ish , and didnt go back to bed. Took me 2 days to get back to a normal level , read some psalms in each room and asked for it not to come back.

It hasnt. But even more horrifying is when i researched it, it is a proper phenomenon called Sleep Paralysis / Old Hag Syndrome. Enjoy some of these ghastly pics:

May JC keep it at bay , it was highly unpleasant.

Yeah the same happens to me very often since I was 12 or 13. It feels as if you're awake, but you can't move your body at all. It doesn't obey you. However, I've learnt how to deal with it (if anyone wants me to tell how I do it, just ask ). I never thought it was related to aliens or something like that, until I watched a TV documentary about UFOs and this thing was mentioned. But still didn't blame the aliens. I knew it was related to my mind, not to other people. Then I learned it was related to medicine or psychology. I think some people that go through wierd stuff that can't be explained blame these little gray people for all these things. If you want to see an alien in your bedroom at 3 a.m. staring at you, then you'll see it. Human mind is such a powerful thing.

Yeah I go through that every time I try to get out of bed, except I usually still feel as though I'm asleep


I'm not one of those guys who believes in every conspiracy theory from 9/11 to the moon landings, but I'd find it silly for someone to 'not' think that there's life somewhere out there. As as been stated here and many times everywhere else it's statistically improbable for us to inhabit the only habitable planet in the universe, I'm pretty sure they even found fossils on mars or something. That's as silly as saying we're the only place that has H2O!

As for aliens, UFOs, and all these dreams etc, I don't know what to really think. There's pictures, videos, etc, but none of them are really confusing, and people's brains can conjure of some crazy stuff on it's own. If there WERE hyper advanced aliens capable at FTL travel, abducting our crap, and communicating to us through our dreams they would have either officially and openly greet us or already blown us all to smithereens and enslaved us already instead of f-ing around.
