petemcewan   27 #865 Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) What I often wondered is why are all ufos described as : disc, triangles, or orbs? Why don't they look like the Milenium Falcon or the Space Shuttle? What is the significance of those shapes?

Annie Bynnol   612 #869 Posted August 13, 2017 What I often wondered is why are all ufos described as : disc, triangles, or orbs? Why don't they look like the Milenium Falcon or the Space Shuttle? What is the significance of those shapes?  Up to the 50s all UFOs of the " I was going along minding my own business, when..." type were direct copies from illustrated books and comics which predated them. From the 60s reality and physics and disbelief require new designs and modes of operation by the fiction creators.  "Milenium Falcon" et al, and the associated "ship noises" are a "Holywood" necessity, and the Space Shuttle barely justifies its name. Any UFO inventor would copy these would look foolish hence the move toward opaqueness, cloacking, bright lights etc. by both writers and "observers".  Each UFO has its day in someone's imagination.  I remember another fantasist holding up a dinosaur and a flying saucer and remonstrating with the children that they should only believe in one thing. I told him he was wrong. His chapel and flock have gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Cyclone   10 #874 Posted September 2, 2017 I imagine the main thing most people overlook, is that we are it; we *are* the universe.  Part. We are "part" of the universe. Not all of it, not even close. A tiny infinitesimal spec. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
petemcewan   27 #875 Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) Enlightenment is the highest experience given in this world. In this experience, the individual is shown that God exists -and may be shown the creation of the universe; and the design of existence. Our body is part of the material universe.But our mind and inner experience transcend the material world.     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3Mtby_QlvMexistence.
