Widely reported UFO sighting from last week isnt a UFO after all, heres the initial report from a seemingly reputable witness,
quote:
F-16 fighter pilot Col. Brian Fields, now retired at 61, was at his Van Buren, Ark., home Jan. 9 when just before 7 p.m., he observed two intensely bright lights as he looked to the southeast close to the horizon.
"At first I thought they were landing lights from an aircraft," he said. "As I continued to observe them they began to slowly disappear, then suddenly one reappeared, followed by two, then three. On at least one occasion four or five appeared. Each time they would slowly fade and eventually disappear. This occurred several times and when they would reappear they might do so in differing numbers and in different positions, sometimes in a triangular shape, sometimes stacked on top of each other, sometimes line abreast, etc. When the objects appeared they might stay illuminated 10 or more minutes."
He added, "I believe these lights were not of this world, and I feel a duty and responsibility to come forward."
This story was picked up by the Drudge Report, one of the most widely read news sites on the net.
Turns out it was only parachute flares on a A-10 attack plane military drill. A very normal explanation after all for such an adamant arguement of otherworldliness.
Well the Colonel was satisfied with this explination,
quote:
Officials say the colorful illuminations seen Jan. 9 over western Arkansas came from special military flares that slowly parachuted to the ground as part of an Air Force training mission involving A-10 aircraft pilots at nearby Fort Chaffee, a base used for testing weaponry.
"We were flying A-10s in that area and they were using flares," Jessica D'Aurizio, chief of public affairs at the 917th Wing of the Air Force Reserve at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, told WND.
but not swayed from the fight...
quote:
Fields, a Christian who originally speculated his sighting might have had something to do with End Time prophecies from the Bible, still wants people to remain vigilant.
"Because this event was explained does not change the fact that we live in perilous times – and we must still be awake, alert, and know that a great deception is still coming."
Sigh, one step forward, two steps back.

Even if I am wrong, I'm right! What would aliens, flares, or bright lights over a city have to do with the 'end times' anyway? |
Facts! Pssh, you can prove anything even remotely true with facts.

Apart from ET, how many of the aliens from the media have NOT been hellbent on destruction? (I know we are talking Hollywood et al here, but play the game, will you?) |

That was for "construction" and development purposes, not for being "hellbent". |

Yup. At least I think so. I thought it was a logical (and funny) response at the time I saw the post. However, I can't discount any outside influence, though I was unaware of any at the time. |

But apart from these, what have the Romans ever done for us? |

Two steps forward, one back, BigPapa. Science is unstoppable.
I heard the Saudi Ambassador say at a press conference a few days ago, they were sending their young out to world universities to learn science, engineering, etc, AND "CRITICAL THINKING". That was pretty significant in my mind.

Actually in K-Pax I got the impression that he was an alien at the end, considering that Betty? vanished, Prot was just occupying the guys body.
Id like to add the aliens from Signs as non-hostile because they were so completely inept that they are virtually harmless. Worst aliens ever! |

My favorite part from Signs is that water burns the alien like acid so these genuises decide to run around in dew drenched cornfields naked.
I can hear them in the fields now:
Awww, Yikes, Dough! |
If I knew then what I know now then I would know more now than I know. |
