WE’VE BEEN VISITED...... NO! Not by tourists... well, not earthly tourists but from thousands... nay, millions of miles up. Yes, aliens have come to Newbury to see if there is any intelligent life here. A quick sweep – a couple of seconds, if that – and they’ll discover what most of the inhabitants outside Newbury already knew; there isn’t any.
They say the skies are alive with the sound of music, and if that music is the drone of little shuttlecrafts descending from the Borg mothership - if it is the Borg, then again I might have been watching too much telly  - to assimilate us then the skies are certainly alive. What I know of the Borg they are not that fussy whether we’ve got intelligent life or not, their only thoughts are towards simulations. Taken from NewburyToday's main page. Buzz on national UFO forums as strange light formations spotted gliding over West Berkshire skies WEST Berkshire is causing a buzz on national UFO forums again as a strange light formation was spotted gliding across Newbury skies. A couple named Julia and Stuart Owen reported “three reddish orange balls of light in a single line formation, completely silent just gliding through the sky” to to the online UK UFO Sightings website. They added the phenomenon, seen at 10.15pm in Newbury on July 18 was “not as high as a plane and travelling from west to east.” Many sightings of orange lights have been dismissed as ‘UFO lanterns’ - miniature, transparent craft borne aloft by candlepower. However, not all such incidents can be dismissed so easily. Several people witnessed an unusual V-shaped formation in the skies over Greenham several weeks ago which appeared to hover silently before winking out symmetrically from top to bottom, as if turned off at a timed switch. The area has been a hotspot for unidentified aerial phenomena since the 1950s. I’ve been praying that they would come back and take me home  On a more serious not; do you believe that we've been visited by alien crafts? If yes could you also confirm that you've been certified and are currently in a nice cozy cell?

I'd say it's a case of take more water with it. Either that or don't inhale.

I would like to think we have been visted but have never seen anything myself. It would be most depressing if we were the only planet with life in the whole of space.
Just look at the stars, there must be something out there -------------------- If I ruled the world.......

There is something out there; the odds are staked in that favour. However, I don't believe they've visited us 'yet'. |

They have visited, taken one good look and gone scurrying back from whence they came.

If we are found, we might not even recognise it. |

I actually got a recording of it when i saw one of the lights go over Thatcham Broadway. But i deleted it afterwards because you couldn't see it very well. It was a chinese lanturn... i know someone that put one together and it worked just like the one on the night. I know its a chinese lanturn because it was flickering just like a candle. Do some research on them, i would think u could buy the parts off ebay.

Not having any great wish to confirm myself non compos mentis to those of you who already had an inkling, I have had first hand experience of the sort of events that would lend credence to the argument.
So if anyone would like to contact me directly I would be more than happy to chat, but bona fide inquiries only please -------------------- Rem tene verba sequentur

By the way; what is the difference? |

QUOTE (Darren @ Jul 30 2009, 01:18 PM) They have visited, taken one good look and gone scurrying back from whence they came. A C Clarke had the best suggestion - That as 'intelligent ' life has only been on this planet for such as short time the chances are that the planet has been visited & ignored as being of no interest. If geological time was reduced to 1 year, the modern man didn't appear until 11:48pm on December 31st. Recorded history, say the last 5500 years accounts for only 37 seconds of that year. So, it is far more likely that the planet was visited prior to these last 37 seconds. His short story 'The Sentinel' , which was to become the basis for '2001' expands on this idea. |

Personally I think the people of Newbury are gradually being replaced my superior and intelligent beings; granted there are no signs of it so far. But maybe that is their master plan, act stupid to blend in with the citizens of Newbury.... and I must say it seems to be working if they are here
