    Default Do you believe in UFOs?

    Well, do you?

    In either case, why do or don't you believe?

    What I'm talking about specifically here are the UFO's of otherworldly origins.

    No I don't personally believe the UFOs people see are different life forms. I think most of them are military aircrafts. There's so much going on in the sky that the governments keep hidden its unnerving..

    I do have an open mind towards life on other planets though, I think thats plausible. I just think they have better things to do than spy on us, even if they have that kind of technology.

    Some of the objects seen flying over New Mexico were most likely stealth fighters before they had been revealed to the general public. I see some of the articles on UFOs over at Rense, but usually do not read them. One conspiracy theory is the use of holograms.

    There have been far too many reports from reasonable and believable individuals (military officials, pilots, police, etc.), many of whom report these sightings in groups, for the phenomena to be dismissed entirely. However, I think it's far more likely that what is being observed, both in the cases of "flying saucer" sightings and in "alien abductions" is something that is beyond the comprehension of our minds rather than taking the experiences at face value. I agree with UFO researcher Jacques Vallée that the different alien related phenomena are a modern interpretation of the same experience that was in older times described as being taken away to fairy land. In both examples, the true experience is probably not what the experiencer sees, but is what the mind presents to cover up that with which it is incapable of dealing with.

    But isn't that how the mind processes all experience?

    Anyways, as for UFO sightings, they follow a preset story line so frequently and so easily that I believe they are a psychological phenomenon induced by normal but under-researched atmospheric and electrical phenomena.

    Jung's essay on UFOs as an artifact of the collective unconscious of a people at a particular historical moment was, I think, on the right track.

    Yes, but when Dr. Strassman was testing out DMT (a hallucinogen that our brain produces) on human subjects, something like 50% of subjects experienced something very similar to an "alien abduction." This would lead me to believe that when these experiences do occur, our brains are, for whatever reason, dumping DMT into our systems. The only thing that makes me think we're dealing with some kind of objective phenomena rather than individual hallucinations is that so many of these are shared "hallucinations."

    I instinctively answered "no" in the poll but after I had clicked the button I stopped for a second. My official standpoint is "no" but my imagination is open for the possibility if you know what I mean?

    They are often mistaken for weather ballons in every report.

    YES, I do believe in some extratterial life, we live, so why not another form that we have not discovered yet ?

    It's never too early to start beefing up your obituary.

    I said yes because I believe in the possibility of there being other beings in the Universe of which we aren't aware. There could also be other solar systems besides this one.

    But then again, I also believe there is a restaurant at the very end of it...

    Yes. But how many of them are of this realm and - as Psychonaut said - how many are the modern manifestation of entities from another realm, I don't know.
