Are WE Reptilians???
which is why they taste just like chicken.
First of all I don't post hardly at all but I have been lurking for a while now. So I hope you don't mind me jumping in here, but the topic interests me.
second: thank you all for the information you have put out there, some of it I knew (even if I knew it was an interesting refresher) all if it was informative. so again thank you guys.
Third: Either I am not CRAZY, or you guys are all as crazy as I am; Ill let you pick! J/K
Now I have a couple of things I would like to say, if you guys don't mind.
Dannyinjapan; STR, and Yvsa; and who ever else is interested, I think you guys would find the book titled "Behold A Pale Horse" written by William C. Cooper, and interesting read. In short he was a sailor who saw a uso/ufo and then was moved up in the ranks and he devoulges a lot of info on the topic and a few others. But basically I came to 3 conclusions about his book;
1) all the information is factual and he really saw/ it really happened to him.
2) He really saw it all, and the government let him see it to bypass something bigger?
3) He is a conspiracy theorist; however he tells you in the book that this is the reason for writing the book, so that the government will leave him alone, and "write" him off as a conspiracy theorist.
I used to think that people who said they saw a ufo where a little kooky, until I myself saw what I believed to be a ufo. Amongst all of the other weird/strange things I have witnessed. Now I listen to the stories and decipher from that, but I defiantly do not just write them off any more.
As for being a Christian and being open minded, well I am a Christian and I am open minded, I guess you could say it is because I don't go to church but I have no doubt in my mind at least (and that's all it is, my mind) that GOD exists, and created everything! So I really do not like that term about being open minded, and my mom goes to church every Sunday and is a devout christian and the mere thought of me talking about aliens used to p**s her off to no end, however she has no evidence they do not exist, as someone said here earlier you cannot prove a negative. As of late she has started to come around. I put that in there because I have seen both sides of the coin, and the term "open minded" just gets under my skin because it is all relative to the subject and the persons frame of reference (and we all have one).
The next thing I would like to mention is STR your posts 'surprise' me if nothing else, and they probably shouldn't, however here is my quick .02 about 'evolution'; you cannot deny evolution, we are constantly evolving (by definition), if we make it through a day we have evolved to the next day, that does not mean we went from being apes to being humans.
The other thing is; STR, you may be able to help me out with this one, as you already mentioned the guy with the coral castle in Florida, I know the story and know that there is a web site and it has basically become a tourist attraction of sorts.
But here is where I am confused, I once read/heard (cant remember the source for the life of me, and of course I can not find anything on the web about it) but the part of the story about the coral castle that confuses me is this: supposedly there where two guys (average random dudes) had found the guy who built this castle and they told him you have to tell us how you did that. The guy who built it responded with "if I do they will kill me", the two guys said well we will kill you if you do not. It ended up the two guys killed him.
Now if this story is true, who was he more afraid of then the two guys who ultimately ended his life?
also why is it that people of today's culture, when they think about aliens and being here in the past always assume they were here to help us? Just curious. I know some of you realize this is not the case, but I am talking about society as a whole here.
Has anyone been watching the television show "V"? I think it puts American society into perspective, kind of like the world is flat debate that you guys have already discussed. Just because modern society accepts it as being the "truth" does that make it the truth? or real for that matter? (rhetorical questions)
Sorry for the length guys, I just wanted to put my perspective on things, share a book I thought was interesting, and ask a few questions.
Just read about the Nasca in Nat Geo as i was waiting for some testing in the hospital today.
Apparently, those drawings can be seen from the ground, or from the surrounding hills. The theories presented in the article (March 2010 issue) indicate that they were likely used in religious rituals. There is evidence of a lot of foot traffic on those paths.
The author reported that the idea that the drawings could only be observed from the air as "myths", an that the idea that they were created with the help of aliens as "silly", or something like that.
It was an interesting read. It was depressing though, to see how folks used to sacrifice other humans in order to convince their "gods" to give them water. I'm sure we are not that different in our culture. We have our ways of making folks conform, and of sacrificing for the "greater good".
Just thought I would pass that along.
Open mindedness is a hard thing to come by. Who really knows their blind spots? Who is the free thinker that can guarantee that their own freedom of thought is truly free?
everybody accepts some things by "faith", whether they understand that, or admit, or not.
(as Bugs Bunny once said, "Ain't I a stinker?!)

i suspect if there is any truth in the UFO/Alien thing, that it is our descendants coming back thru time to study their primitive animal roots.
tardis anyone?
I agree Mike. Hey if you guys unfamiliar with some of the stuff coming out in the last few years want to catch up some and blow your minds watch this series of videos here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gKmjv0pleg&feature=related
Pay particular attention to video number 7. I have never seen the equal to the sightings presented in this video. I really don't know how you can deny there is something unknown here but go for it skeptics. Go ahead and convince me they are birds.
STR
There is certainly something unknown, however, it is almost certainly of human origins. The symbols are well known human forms, there is no indication of anything alien content or perspective. If the quality is improving it is probably due to advances in portable computing and GPS devices. If the aliens want to leave a message, there is no need to trash some farmer's field, they could just fly over the nearest city in broad daylight and wave.

We cannot hope to guess exactly what the real crop circles mean. I would like to think it is a message of some kind. When mathematicians discover previously unknown mathematical formulae in them, and they do, then it is possible that they are messages of some kind. But like I mentioned before, two guys with planks cannot replicate a real crop circle. Unbroken stalks, signs of superheating by microwaves, both inside the plants and underneath the soil.
Danny, I promise you ... here and now ... that I will never, ever argue with a fossilized turd.
Again.

Any of you guys ever read World Explorers magazine? Whatever happened to them? Got some neat books out of their catalog, including Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings.
I have a book by that title by Charles Hapgood as I recall. Some of the ancient maps, some of which Christopher Columbus was supposedly in possession of, were quite accurate and detailed areas quite clearly that have been under miles thick ice for 10,000 plus years so they are thought to have been made when the land was still visible since we could not even confirm how accurate they actually were until the advent of ground penetrating radar to see the details under the ice. Its been pretty much confirmed that ancient anglo explorers traveled to America before Columbus and the evidence is in the Rune stones littered all over as well as the ancient writings including those deciphered on the rune stones themselves. There was just a long documentary on this on NatGeo not long ago.
