    ET Phone Home?

    Is there other life out there? Something swung near by for a visit recently. It's path, speed, etc is something yet to be observed. Unfortunately, it continued on it's way, and I think the data was studied after the pass by. If unnatural, maybe an alien probe that detected us, got a little closer, and saw us as knuckle draggers who were not ready for contact? This observation gets it's own place on the shelf, if i read this correctly. I should also mention that it accelerated after it's perigee with Earth, and it concluded, "no intelligent life"?

    Interesting link. I personally think we are not alone, the odds of us being the only game in the universe are astronomical (pun). I have followed/studied the extraterrestrial/UFO phenomenon for a long time. Even had a sighting of something I can only explain as "not ours".

    Of course if they narrowed their scan beam to the D.C. area then they certainly would move on!

    If it's Rama, we missed the rendezvous! Probably for the best.

    We are cave people and Ummagumma is a big cigar shaped rock. Remember Star Trek First Contact? The passing Vulcan ship was about to leave when Zephraim Cochran launched his experimental warp drive ship, a converted ICBM, and the Vulcans landed to investigate. If you noticed the looks on their faces they found Americans disgusting but tolerable, learn how to act Japanese and they'll warm up a bit. Maybe by the time science figures out a way to warp space-time and generate enough energy to do it with a contained matter/antimatter reaction the gods will return. They may return sooner if we'd stop shooting at them!

    For at least 20 years now my wife has insisted that, when we lived next door to a cricket field, one night she was abducted by creatures from something large hovering about 50 feet over the field with a large number of flashing lights underneath their craft. I was away working at the time.

    She was returned a little while later and, when I returned home, asked me if I noticed anything different. I couldn't, or daren't, reply but it's not like her to insist on this story for such a length of time.

    In view of this, "they" could investigate the White House and choose an individual, suck out his brains and replace them in random order. Would it make any difference perhaps?
