Why do all these sighting produce unclear images?
Good question.

One would think our technology had progressed at least a tad in the last 50 years, to something beyond blurry photos and sandy videos.

Or maybe the aliens possess photographic countermeasures? ;)

I would guess any country who has had citizens report seeing alien craft would be involved.

But larger countries have more than likely developed the system for use in various countries.

So even countries that hate the US, like Iran, North Korea or China, are secretly colluding with the US on the creation of UFOs because...?

What say you?
When you think about it, anything created by God should not be considered alien.
We have the most extraordinary creatures on earth , why not in the heavens as well ? Afterall, He created it all in 6 days for His pleasure and gave us dominion only on earth. Blessings.

The same reason they're colluding to hide that the earth is flat, obviously.

The images are actually crystal clear. However, the aliens are using mind control on anyone who looks at them so that we think they are fuzzy. You might ask why don't they just make us forget we saw them. Well, they do, but only for the big orange ones with the fins.

I do not know who actually hates who. All the kingdoms of the world are in the possession of satan (the liar). So if you want to believe what governments state, go ahead, looks like you have much company.

Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.

whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.


We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.


How does satan blind by deceptions, false gospels, false creations, by encouraging doubt in God's word, by inviting science in as a source for understanding the Bible.

Which will eventually foster up doubt in The Bible and in turn, move people (even believers) away from trust in God's word.

I don't know what they are - nor do those who see them, and nor do those who review the photos and videos of them. It's why we call them "unidentified" objects. We don't know what they are. Period. Anything beyond this is pure speculation, theorizing, nothing more. And like you note, the the theories abound - and yet none have the credibility to stand at the fore as the most logical - or even accurate.

Perhaps a better question perhaps is why all these sightings, and/or their circumstances, seem to follow just a handful of similar patterns.

I don't know the answer to that either.

I was a big fan of this stuff back in the '60's when Project Blue Book came out. But intriguing as it seems, there's just no concrete evidence whatsoever they exist. In my mind it's more of a form of self-indulgent fantasy. Fun to speculate, fun to imagine, and lots of fun to watch on the TV or movie screen...

I think the only people arguing from any discernible degree of credibility on the matter are those who look at it from a probabilistic perspective. Given the size of the universe, the number of galaxies, stars, solar systems, etc., the MATH certainly does not rule out their existence.

But other than the math... meh... not convincing me.

Have you seen the video evidence I posted here.

This youtube channel has some really interesting and well done videos on the subject.

I said "Don't Know."

My actual position is that I think alien life is very likely, probably existing within our own solar system. But this kind of alien life, is, I suspect, going to be very simple. Similar to bacterial life, that kind of thing.

Aliens that are similar to Humans in intelligence I think are also possible, but far less likely, and I do not think for a second we have had any contact with them, nor are we likely to have contact with them in the foreseeable future.

Take a look at some of this evidence. Let me know your thoughts.

But what is it that they are seeing then, what is it that they all keep mistaking for UFOs? If it’s something that would be fooling & baffling the military for 70 years then saying that it’s just a balloon, or it’s just a spotlight or something wouldn’t make sense. Because if it’s an easy/obvious explanation like that then we wouldn’t be baffled by it, but if we’re baffled by it then it can’t be an obvious explanation.
It is surprisingly easy to be baffled by what would seem to be obvious explanations. It's worth noting that having a qualification, a uniform, or long experience in aeronautical matters, doesn't make you less likely to make such errors - in fact, the opposite can happen, when overconfidence in experience or qualification makes you less likely to question your immediate perception.

Apart from the possibly apocryphal mistaking of car headlights on a hillside road, aircraft pilots, both military and civilian, have often mistaken Venus for a nearby UFO moving at amazing speed; commercial airline pilots have mistaken gas flares from oil fields in the Gulf(?) for a squadron of UFOs; notoriously, a lighthouse has been reported as a UFO by a number of people at a military base. One classic old film of UFOs flying over distant hills in a desert turned out to be flies buzzing around in the foreground - given away by their characteristic flying pattern.

The radar signature reports and the military videos are not so obvious, but one of the blurred Pentagon military videos following a UFO over water could conceivably be of a seabird much closer than it appeared.

What say you?

Interesting videos on the subject here.

It's interesting how this was a ridiculous idea - until, of course, an organization (of choice) with enough letters and reputation behind its name "vindicates" the so called evidence. I would say aliens are a non-issue now; if people (who are painfully and irresponsibly incredulous about things they have not seen, and/or can't handle) are just now realizing there is merit to the idea of aliens, then the learned person should be focused on the current "looney" idea that will soon be vindicated.

Don't wait for systems to verify what should already be known, or at least deduced. The identity of aliens is definitely a debatable topic, but the existence of extradimensional or extraterrestrial entities should not be at this point.

I've selected option 7 - "Don't know".

Despite all the conspiracy stories, I don't think we will ever find any real proof that alien life forms exist. Yet neither do we have any absolute proof that they do not exist.

When we sit out at night and look up and see the stars, we are literally glancing into the far distant past. Given the time it takes for light to travel, what we see with the naked eye are events that took place billions of years ago. Long before you and I were born. Long before the dinosaurs roamed the earth. Billions of years before the earth even existed.

Our universe is utterly mind-blowing. It seems possible to me that within our vast cosmos there are planets where intelligent life forms exist.

Personally, I don't think they will be dropping by for tea any time soon. We could send a RSVP, but I doubt they would be that interested and we would be long dead before they received our invitation.
