Hi Ron & All,

To quote from the BBC article:

"In November 1989 a "completely terrified" woman contacted RAF Wattisham in Suffolk to report her close encounter with a man claiming to be an alien.

She said she met the fair-haired man with a Scandinavian-type accent as she walked her dog on a sports field.

He told her crop circles were caused by others like him who had travelled to Earth and that the purpose of his visit was friendly.

He then said he had spoken to her because he felt it was important to have contact with humans even though he was told not to."

Well, nowadays we all know that the crop-circles being of 'alien origin' has been 100% de-bunked and disproven so what does that do to the credibility of this account of an alleged encounter?

Later in the article a UFO expert says the most sensible thing I've heard attributed to a 'UFO expert', well ... ever:

"UFO expert Dr David Clarke said: "The vast majority of reports are ordinary things seen in extraordinary situations.

"So many things can be interpreted as unusual, you've got to eliminate all that noise and see what's left.

"I don't think there's any solid evidence that we have been visited by intelligent life but I don't think you can rule that out."

This expert is apparently in touch with reality.

I agree with him wholeheartedly. I can't absolutely rule it out either. If there are beings visiting us for whatever reason I think that's great and would love to have contact with them for mutual benefit, but there is a huge lack of credible evidence to support the so called UFO and alien phenomenon. Their case is clouded even further by the overwhelming preponderence of clearly non-credible evidence and 'crack-pottery'.

Best,

Les D

Ahhh
to travel hundred of thousands of light years to come to this little planet only to turn some cows inside out and play proctologist with some isolated farmer ....
all credible to me
I'm keeping my Aluminum hat on in case they are reading my thoughts right now...

If aliens did come here, who says it's humans they'd want to talk to...?

But crop circles are of ET origin, somewhat analogous to train tagging.

Teenage ET's steal thier parents spaceships, slip in past our planetary defences (WAKE UP NORAD!!), tag the planet or as they like to put it "do a little circle work in someones back paddock", then rack off home before mum & dad gets back from the galactic holiday inn at the end of the universe.

That fireball a few weeks back...dragracer, playing chicken.

The truth is out there.

Hey Ron, I saw one once. If my memory serves me correctly I had just finished my second bottle of Jacks and had fallen in a ditch by the side of the road

. I was only 19 at the time but there was a strange light (6 infact) that kept moving and flashing in odd ways. Some were white, some were red and some were blue. Strangley when I woke up in the morning I was at the local police station in some kind of advanced holding room. Never have worked out what happended, perhaps the aliens used a memory ray on me?

Ciao Mark

As Arthur C Clark once said:
"If and when beings from another planet land on earth, there won't be any doubt in anyone's mind about it"

Note added: Here is something further to think about

It's the X-Files all over again.

I knew Mulder & Scully were trying to warn us.
