who believes in UFOs?
And other "Art Bell" type stuff? Anyone ever seen a UFO, ghost, or other unexplained thing?

1. ghost
I had things fly by themselves in an appartment I lived at. Things were turning on and off too. Once the whole bathroom was trashed and the door thrown upon the floor. I stayed there for three months and moved out.

2. I've seen a UFO
Edited on Fri Nov-19-04 05:39 AM by shraby
My husband, 4 children, my sis-in-law and her 2 children, my other sis-in-law and her 2 children were all out at my mother's to visit one night..she had 4 children she was taking care of. The kids ages ranged from around 12 to 5. My mothers house is way out in the boonies, the nearest neighbor lives a mile away.
It was after dark, the adults were all in the house and the kids were outside playing in the dark. They came running in and wanted the binoculars to see the "airplane" that was behind the house. We got them out for the kids and by that time the "airplane" had moved around to the side of the house where the patio door was off the dining room and we all could see it. It kind of hung in one spot about the height of the apple trees it was near for about 5 minutes or so..long enough for us to all gawk good at it. There was no noise from it so it wasn't a helicopter. There were lights in it but even with the binoculars we couldn't see inside of it. Then it took off over the apple trees and went east until it was out of sight. To this day we don't know what it was.

3. Lots of weird things...

Too many to get into this early in the morning -- parents told of seeing a strange UFO type thing in the rural south while driving one time. They went into quite an elaborate story about some kind of craft hovering close to the road they were on, above their car. Both me and my sister heard this story when they told it. A few months later, my sister and I brought it up for conversation and our parents denied ever having said anything like that.

I swear they did though.

4. I'm really interested in the paranormal.
Although I am definitely a skeptic. I just find the stories and such fascinating.

I do think there's probably intelligent life out there somewhere, considering how big the universe is, but whether or not they're actually visiting earth, I'm not so sure.

6. me too.
I like to play the scientific skeptic, but I'm fascinated by odd phenomena.

There was a time when I used to stay up until 3am every night so that I could watch "Haunted History". Never know. :shrug:

Hey! What time is it?!

8. Haha, I've done the same on many occasions.
It's just fun stuff, whether it's real or not.

10. Any entity intelligent enough to travel through space is
intelligent enough to avoid us, I think.

5. u.f.o. when i was ten
it was a nice day glow kind of green triangle made no sound,seemed to be about 1000 feet high moving very slowly,then shot off really fast,i was alone on the street,no one else saw it.Very odd i will always remember what ever it was.
I went to a conspiracy meeting tonight in the San Fernando Valley,first one i have ever gone to,Jim Marr or something spoke,he was sometimes interesting,but he was hawking his book about 9/11 like it was the truth,then blew it out his butt when he went right wing on a few things.Strange audience,some leftys i knew and some nut case rightys interesting crew.he is a well known best seller author,but kind of a putz.It was wierd seeing book tables with extreem left and right books and dvds next to each other.

7. I do not believe in UFOs or
Edited on Fri Nov-19-04 06:05 AM by OldEurope
in little green men from Mars.
But one night in the seventies, beeing on holidays in the former Yougoslavia, we ( 4 adults with no drugs) saw a bright light, rushing from East to West, suddenly (really, as if stopped by a massive wall)standing still right in the zenith, then "hopping" like a ball to the left and up and down for about 3 minutes; finally it rushed North and disappeared behind a mountain. Just a bright light, no sound.
We are still wondering, what sort of flying object this could have been.

9. One great band
They didn't get enough credit for being one of the best bands to come out of their era.
