All of these characters are involved up to their ears in the enduring mystery of the UFO phenomenon, of which @TenEightyOne seemingly cannot give a single example of which is unexplained.

None of which gives a creditable "unexplained" status to either JAL or Phoenix, but only in my opinion.

I'd be interested in an explanation of the Ariel School sighting, amongst others.

And there are plenty of witnesses to both who can explain both. There was no massive object in the first sighting, simply a formation of aircraft. See the Tony Ortega link, and your own;

...Okay let's make this very clear so we can go forward from here in conversation. There wasn't a single object sighted, but various ones as I showed you. The link below, which I would hope you actually read describes this, and I saw my own link just fine but it doesn't discount those others who saw an actual object at very low levels they felt and didn't hear any noise from such a machine.

Radar didn't capture the air craft and others claimed that Luke sent jets, but Luke's placement in this was they had nothing up there that night nor detected anything and then the story from the AF in general changed three days later. CT-144s (not sure you've seen them) are not quite the sleek plane and thus not being seen on Radar by two areas seems quite strange.

No, it asks why they were flying in formation and why they had their landing lights on-and-down. In the UK it's not uncommon to see the Red Arrows display team beetling from place-to-place, they always travel in formation to gigs, I guess many teams do. I myself have been asked to put landing lights on when there's military traffic about, particularly over Lincolnshire... we know there was heavy civil traffic around from your link. I really don't think that flight was so peculiar.

Also maybe that's procedure where you're at but here it is a bit strange to run from the top half of a state and fly to the bottom of it with landing lights on and down. And other pilots found it quite strange as well, I don't think it's all that fair to take your single view that "oh that's not so strange" from many of those here not use to seeing that done and finding it strange that day.

The second incident is also covered in your link - by this time word of the first "sighting" was out and many more people were looking to the sky;

Once again more than one incident, which means you probably didn't read anything I linked or much simpler of a task watched any video I posted. Very sorry you didn't have the time to do such.


The rest of your post seemed to be "How would a triangular spaceship look". I can't argue with that although in the context of the Phoenix "sightings" it isn't really relevant. They're nicely produced though :D

Once again you use spaceship, no one is talking about an alien craft. The fact you keep hinting at this is getting a bit trying, since that image and my entire post as I put it, to me is nothing more than a military craft that went through Phx and was covered up. The fact the second incident was called flares even though others have analyzed them and indicate their incandescence isn't the same as flares, as well as the fact the Military took so long to claim flares. But I do believe that perhaps they were flares to be a diversion to that actual craft so any other reports would just be simply linked to them, rather than any object that was clearly described differently.

Telling the media it's flares isn't hard, when any one of us could drive the I-8 and see them at night over Goldwater.

Look you're set in ideal, and clearly don't want to budge or talk further on this, and this is simple to see a you keep saying this is a closed book case and nothing happend just thousands of people seeing what they wanted. A Military confusing what happened and thus fixing it a few days later. And radar systems just couldn't capture it. Point is you are done with this and that's fine, but I'm not going to argue something that doesn't want to mutually be discussed. So whatever other incidents you want to cover I'll be more than happy to join you.

Can't we talk about ariel sightings first before the idea of Aliens is tossed, around I'd really wish for @Exorcet to change the title beyond just "Aliens" but that of perhaps Aliens/UFOs/USOs or something to that likeness. Since so much more seems to be talked about here than just the idea of Aliens which I think was his intention when creating this thread.

Do you think this is a credible unexplained case?? That's the important question. Don't ignore it. The witnesses are children and there is a lack of physical evidence.

There are many such cases. On the surface they are weird, strange and absurd, very common traits to a great many UFO events, although witnesses are usually most reluctant to reveal and discuss this aspect of the experience. Assuming you take them seriously, my takeaway is the importance of understanding human consciousness as fundamental to understanding and explaining the nature of the UFO phenomenon.

The well-documented Teheran case of 1976 apparently involved the UFO object responding to the thoughts and intentions of the pilot, General Parviz Jafari.

I think he brings it up because of those who saw the incident, being children who have nothing to gain from a crazy traumatic event such as what supposedly happened. As opposed to adults, and the fact these were young children that would take some gathering to create a wild story that each of them seemed to echo on the same equal description.

My issue is how does this actually work out more so than other cases you've posed. My issue is the PHX case has objects seen before the CT-144s got to PHX and after and in various locations along the valley at similar times. Now unless multiple groups of CT-144 all happened to fly over the Valley at different places at same times, that doesn't explain what these people saw and thus to me is in the same realm as the case he put up. However, the PHX incident has more evidence by far to it than the Ariel one.

I love the Ariel School case because it deals with psychic communications between the "UFOnauts" and the schoolchildren. As does the Teheran 1976 case deal with psychic communication with a high-ranking jet fighter pilot. In fact, I hypothesize that all genuine UFO events involve some degree of human consciousness reflected back upon the human percipients. Even the Phoenix event has its psychic aspects in that different witnesses perceived the objects differently - as if the objects had tailored their shape to agree with whatever it was the witness expected and was prepared to receive. All this opens up the notion of universal consciousness. This resolves into myth-making and the notion that all living things participate in these events which shape our cultural beliefs. Jacques Vallee is an astronomer/computer scientist who has written very extensively on this aspect of the phenomenon. Passport to Magonia (a college cult classic of the '70s) and Messengers of Deception are but two of these works.

Proto-panpsychism and stellar consciousness are dealt with on a philosophic - nearly scientific - basis in these links:

Others might not see it that way so easily, and even when you shape it up like that then you have people who will say, that's because they didn't know what they were seeing if anything in the first place. Which is an issue because there tends to be an actual object and not just the notion of one.

Yeah, an object is seen, an object is captured on radar and on film. But an object is never destroyed, or brought down and taken to the lab for examination. Never! It just disappears. So what is it? My hypothesis is that it's temporary, mainly just energy and some dust. Energy in the form of plasma - neither solid, liquid nor gaseous - which is ionized and capable of shape-shifting and modulating its other physical characteristics such as color and size. Similar to ball lightning, seen as a glowing ball of meandering plasma after thunderstorms, a simple form of UFO. These sorts of objects tend to have strong magnetic and electric fields, which when too close to humans distorts consciousness, producing hallucinations and such according to lab testing of human subjects. Can cause burns, too.

Haven't visited this thread in years. Much has happened and many things have been learned. I'm gonna share quite a profound experience of mine, couldn't care less if people believe it. People, who more or less know at what stage our civilization right now is, will understand that it is indeed true. I'm just gonna copy and post a youtube comment of mine, that describes my experience. It was an answer to someone, who saw "strangely moving lights/stars" in the nightsky:

"Same here. I am going to tell you and everyone else here a story I have not told many (only closest friends who are more "open"), and no one on the Internet yet: I have noticed these "moving lights" since I started researching "aliens". Why is that so? I absolutly believe most of them posses technology that can "scan" your information cloud (soul), so they know who knows, get it? I believe they deliberatly show themselfes to those, who are open or ready. I have read about these technologies many times, am researching this all since 11 years. They never showed themselfes when I was with someone outside, who was rather "adapted to society" but they mutliple times showed themselfes when I was with people, who were in the know like I am. But what is the really important part of my story? Well, take a seat: I know how REDICILOUS it sounds, but as I have heared of their soul-scanning technology, and mind scanning technology (and know that many of them are multidimensional telepaths), and because I have observed them MANY times changing altitude to such a degree that I could no longer see them with my eyes, I suspected they were aware of my observation. So what did I do one day? I tried to communicate with them telepathecally: I said to them sth. like: "IF you are positive, realize that I respect you and need some proof that you are not a satellite and that you are positive, could you please move in a more weird manner?" And you know what happened? They did not only not disappear from my site as so often, no, they also stopped, started moving again (that a few times) and even flew a "zig-zag"-like pattern. I myself thought I am losing my mind and am imagening things. But no, I have tried that on many occasions over a course of some 2 years and it worked every time I saw them and asked them. I know REDICILOUS! But I am completly and utterly honest with you and I hope some of you will "feel" that I am no attention seeker. And no I do not think I am sth. special. I think everyone can communicate with them. What stands out in my case though is, that my parents both saw multiple times geniune UFO's very near to them (like afew hundreds meteres in air) and when my mother was pregnant with me and they were building our new house in 1988 in the former Soviet Union (small town far away from civilization), they saw in the evening at around 10pm a bright, colourful UFO hovering over our new property only some 50 meters above ground. My parents got scared to death and ran into the unfinished house to observe it from inside, but then it was already almost out of their eye-sight. How does that story collerate with my other one? I can imagine they are observing me too (anyone who heard of wanderers, light workers, DNA programs of the Greys etc. knows where the connection lies). So again, does that make me special? NO! And it also does not make me better than anyone else (everyone who knows how reality works, knows there is no better or worse, we are all ONE and serve and live because of ONE Prime Creator). I KNOW many other people worldwide had my experiences too."

Here's the link to the video, which is quite amazing too:

The very fact that these things only become apparent to people who are somehow predisposed to seeing them i.e. people who want to see them, sets alarm bells ringing immediately - as does the aspect of being able to influence how they appear to behave i.e. seeing what you expect to see.

As for the bit about seeing them while in the company of others, do you mean that multiple people can see the same thing at the same time, or just that you can see these things when there are like-minded people around? If these things are so readily apparent, it should be relatively easy to devise a set of simple tests to assess whether or not multiple observers can report the same thing independently or not.

There also remains the possibility that what you are seeing is not so much 'real' as a product of your own mind and/or suggestibility - as I am sure you can appreciate, the mind can play tricks and it is very possible to adopt or induce a mental state in which you become far more suggestible (i.e. hypnosis) or able to experience very different mental states (i.e. transcendental meditation, ingestion of psychedelic drugs etc.)... and some people are afflicted with these issues through a chemical imbalance in the brain and/or severe psychological trauma after physical or mental abuse suffered in the past.

While I think what you are reporting is very interesting, I would hesitate to jump to the conclusion that the explanation for what you are seeing lies in the supernatural, especially when there are relatively easy methods by which to test for a wide range of possible other explanations for apparently strange experiences.

Your scepticisme is very much understandable. I can assure you though that I am very healthy concerning my mind and body. Never had any severe illnesses, neither psychological nor physical. It is rather unlikely that I "imagined things", as I said, I tried it multiple times. I have seen these objects a few times with a few other people (all were "open" to such things) and yes they have been observing them with me. In these instances I have not tried to "communicate" with them though. I know they are very sensitive to such things, they won't fly goofy maneuvers every time I ask them, especially not when someone is around me, who won't appreciate it anyway. As I said, they know us very well by "scanning" us. I actually tried many times outside looking for them with one of my cousins (who is also "in the know"), but they never appear then, so I had not an oppurtunity yet to prove my experience to anyone. I know though that other people had these experiences in goups, there are videos of such "meetings".
It's quite futile to try to explain it to someone, who is not educated on these things, one must first understand that we have never been alone on this planet, have always been under observance from several races for several reasons (selfish and sacrificial) and that phenomena like "wanderers", "light workers" and DNA programs (mostly done by the Greys from Zeta Reticuly) are absolutly real. If one knows and understands these concepts, one knows that my experience is geniune and shared by millions of people around the globe.
 
And you know what happened? They did not only not disappear from my site as so often, no, they also stopped, started moving again (that a few times) and even flew a "zig-zag"-like pattern.

Thank you for your report!

Like a lot of people, you have had an experience with what appeared to be balls of light which involved some kind of psychic contact , telepathic communication or shared consciousness. There are many such reports, and they are classified as Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind.

For what it's worth, you have nothing to be worried about since these are natural phenomena that happen all the time. I've been steadily researching these phenomena for 50 years, and can assure you that no alien or UFO has ever been found. Yet the phenomenon exists. This phenomenon would not exist without the human to perceive it, so the human aspect is real and essential. The unexplained mystery starts with the ultimately explainable mystery of how human consciousness works. There are many speculative models of it, none are acceptable, and some involve the consciousness phenomena as external to the brain, universal, even extending to animals, plants and (gasp!) stars.

Keep watching the stars, and please stay in touch.

Keep in touch with whom? With my alien friends or you? :lol:

I know it could be that these are not technological vehicles with inhabitats per se what I see, yet I am convinced they are (the reasons for this I have mentioned in my previous posts). Does it something have to do with consciousness? Of course. They are atrracted by a certain mind set/consciosness. I believe and more or less understand that everything is consciousness on different levels, as everything is an extansion of the one infinite creator, everything IS he/her/it, and therefore he/her/it IS everything. Thus everything is connected to everything else, nothing is really seperate. This is all of course a matter of perspective, but it seems that at a sub-quantum level, my assumtions are true.
I must strongly disagree on the alien thing with you though. I am convinced beyond any shadow of a doubt that many of our governments and secret societies have found many aliens and UFO's and have contact with them (technology transfer programs, genetic exchange etc.). There is an abundance of proof. In the end of the day all of it becomes a matter of believe of course, because you could put ANYONE before a camera to testify (which has happened many times with officials) and people would still doubt, until they would stand next to one alien in eye contact (and then they would probably assume they were under drugs, hallucinated, were hypnotized, are crazy, etc.). You see the dilemma? Humans are not ready to ACCEPT truth. No matter what. Our minds are programmed to "behave" like that, no wonder, as some species want us to stay in our undeveloped spriritual status forever, because they have much to gain from it.

Stealth edit: Really good to hear from you Dotini! Glad to know you are fine (you little disinfo agent :lol::lol::lol: jk jk, but who knows eh? >.> :dopey:)

Once I made a careful survey of the field, and found that approximately 50% of active ufologists were retired officers, agents or contractors from various government agencies, agencies like the US State Department, CIA, DIA and AFOSI. Am I one of them? No. But I understand they do it for fun and profit as well as to manufacture a certain amount of consent on the topic.
 
The following photo and video link seem to me to represent what the basic, entry-level UFO looks like up close. I have personally seen UFOs similar to these on several occasions, and been in personal communication with a US government scientist who has photographed similar objects up close on official business at the Yakima reservation in Washington State.

I am going to describe the object as a high energy magnetic field enclosing in double layers additional magnetic fields within. It could be described as many fires within a fireball, or plasma discharges within a larger body of plasma. It is an electromagnetic event, albeit complex.

I believe this is a natural event, although it could be a hoax. But a hoax by whom, or what?

Of course it is not a hoax. And I am very aware of this phenomenan since I started to research these topics 11 years ago. Your description of them seems right. I am still stretching the importance to understand that not all UFOs look like that, many ARE nuts and bolts machninery, albeit very high tech of course.
But what could yours be? I believe they are either multidimensional beings themselfes, or act as vehicels for multidimensional entities. These are the only explanations making sense to me after my years long research. As you pointed out too, they definetly posses some kind of consciousness.

Yours is a great key question.

Here is my speculative hypothesis, in two brief parts:
1) The basic entry-level UFO suggested is actually very complex. It is like a multi-celled creature within an outer cell. All the cells are capable of changing shape, color, size, multiplying and dividing, and internally communicating. I can link you to published lab experiments with plasmas that specifically refer to these properties. What the lab tests don't explicitly say is that plasmas are capable of "shapeshifting" into what appears to be recognizable structured objects.
2) Other lab tests have shown that high power electromagnetic events can cause hallucinations, burns and other physical effects on test subjects, lightning victims, etc. Primitive UFOs, as high-power, short-lived electromagnetic events, have the potential effect of altering human consciousness. Now here we get into a whole new realm.

Actually I don't think it may be UFO or something else it could be a natural phenomena we are not aware of or something else like a planet's reflection.
 
None of which gives a creditable "unexplained" status to either JAL or Phoenix, but only in my opinion.

I'd be interested in an explanation of the Ariel School sighting, amongst others.

I think most of the abduction cases have something to do with sleep paralysis and UFO sighting to do with some optical illusions.And if aliens are already here,won't they try to conquer our planet and try to make us their slaves.

I doubt any advanced civilization or aliens intelligent enough to figre out how to travel distances light takes years to cover would want to go through the trouble of babysitting our sorry asses. They'd be better off exterminating us.

:lol:

Why would it have to be something nefarious to begin with?
 
And if aliens are already here,won't they try to conquer our planet and try to make us their slaves.
Why? Look at us, most space agencies are interested in preserving alien life. Spaceships are sanitized, and in some cases destroyed, to prevent contamination of other bodies.

Also as far as slave labor goes, what would we provide them? If they can go between star systems at will, they probably have machines that would be far better and more cooperative than us.
 
There are several possibilities I can think of:

1) They haven't found us yet.

2) Earth is a protected wildlife park of sorts, which no one is allowed to visit. Perhaps occasionally there are idiot tourists or hunters that visit despite this being forbidden.

3) Somewhat related to 2, perhaps they are watching us and waiting for a sign of intelligence. Like the discovery of faster than light travel, or something else.

4) They are photosynthesizing creatures that are terrified to death of us, what with the many plant killing tools at our disposal, and other animals like Elephants that push over trees when they feel like it (and they never get any flack for it! :p)

5) They are so highly advanced that they have no desire for our resources, or to interact with us in any way. Visiting would be a waste of time. What resources could Earth have that they couldn't obtain on other planetary bodies anyway?

6) They are advanced nomadic creatures, not quite as advanced as the ones in 5 but nonetheless very capable of destroying us when we are discovered. Perhaps they are already on their way here in their giant spaceships, consuming everything in their path, to support an increasing population and the construction of more giant spaceships.

Very nice list of possibilities!

For the record, there are some other weird possibilities that have been previously suggested, starting with one of my favorites, a variation of your possibility #2:
- Perhaps due to distance or dimension, they are unable to physically manifest on our planet, in our space-time continuum. But they can temporarily modify our physical environment by modulating available environmental electromagnetic energy. This is for the purpose of creating archetypes, memes, apparitions and other socially significant symbols in order to guide our evolution in their desired direction. They are at the root of the UFO phenomenon and miraculous religious movements through history. They may not all be alike. Most seem to think of us as chattel to be manipulated and toyed with.

:lol:
You don't have to travel faster than light to travel light years,instead there is something scientist call wormholes which can warp the space time fabric and make the distance shorter.
According to Stephen Hawking wormhole is everywhere but they are too small to be seen or used.
Why? Look at us, most space agencies are interested in preserving alien life. Spaceships are sanitized, and in some cases destroyed, to prevent contamination of other bodies.

They can use us to create hybrids and to protect their species,but if aliens had really visited us then wouldn't it be a danger signal and wouldn't the whole public panic.
As far as I am concerned I don't think it is wise to contact with hightech species,see what happened in america when britishers were ahead in technology during 1800's.
 
I do think there is life outside Earth but what they are beyond our imagination. It'll depend on their Home Planet, and I doubt there is any chance of us coming in contact with them for a very long time and possibly even never. 👎

That's still a humanistic spin on how a creature that may not even be carbon based, humanoid and be of the highest to second highest degree on the Kardashev Scale would react when traveling the cosmos as it comes upon other life. And really that's the problem with trying to sum up how this may work, has worked (if they've been here before) or is working (if they're currently visiting).

Also the two aren't comparable really, a group that can generate enough power to traverse in any of multiple manners to get from one side of the galaxy to the other in a matter of time that is easily measured is magnitudes of order beyond us. British vs Natives is quite closer.
