Do you believe in UFO sightings?

This sponsored BFD is brought to you by Battle: Los Angeles, in theaters 03.11.11.

Documented cases of UFO sightings around the world have inspired countless publications, works of art, and of course movies.

The film Battle: Los Angeles explores what would happen if the City of Angels became the last stand for mankind in a battle no one expected.

In this sci-fi action thriller starring Aaron Eckhart and Michelle Rodriguez, it’s up to a Marine staff sergeant (Eckhart) and his new platoon to draw a line in the sand as they take on an enemy unlike any they’ve ever encountered before.

    • I think many sightings are of normal things that are either unfamiliar or are not seen well enough to identify, but I think some sightings are of true unknown objects or energies. Some of them may be extraterrestrial craft, but others may be from other dimensions or even from unknown presences here on earth.

    • I do believe in UFO's... but not all sightings, some are fake.

      With all the evidence that has been shown over the years and with technology showing cities under our Oceans, structures older than 14,000 BC, it's hard not to believe in Aliens.

      Our scientist say we couldn't and didn't have intelligent life before 7000 BC, but under our Oceans there are cities, structures older than that.

      Here's some evidence science has yet to answer and won't answer, on why and how they exist...

      The Piri Reis Map,
      The Phineas Map,
      The Mercator Map...

      All of these maps showing parts of the world found after 1950, when technology, not men, were able to find them. Main stream archeologists and scientists claim our ancestors worshiped everything and anything and didn't know what they were doing... yet somehow we have maps of Antarctica without ice... something the same people claim wasn't visible to anyone before the last ice age...

      How about Puma Punku? A large temple complex dated 200 BC. Main stream Archeologists say the people who lived there, had no written language or the wheel... but somehow were able to create one of the worlds most complex structures... to date.

      Archeologists also say, such tremendous designs build on Puma Punku required concepts of mathematics which are far beyond anything that we are using right now, yet somehow in the past, people build them for a specific reason and in a way, computer programs now would wonder how...

      The evidence is there... we just have open our eyes...

    • I guess the real question is whether or not I believe it's possible that aliens have visited Earth. I would have to say, "yes".

      The reason why I say that is because I 'know' that intelligent life exists in the universe. Us. And since we exist, that means it's possible that other life exists. And that would make it possible for them to have visited Earth. Thus making it possible for someone to have seen them.

    • I told a an acquaintance of my 46 years of UFO studies. He was a high level guy working for N.O.R.A.D. He told me that sometimes he wakes up in a cold sweat, dreaming that he's talking about things he should'nt be talking about.
      He said no more.

    • If they are true i believe we make too much of a deal out of it. If total peace is accepting everything in the universe then nothing can ever be a big deal, it can only simply be.

    • Of course there are other sentient beings in our limitless universe, and many are likely to be more advanced than we are. I would assume that truly intelligent life wouldn't engage in the destruction of other beings, as will be seen in Battle: LA, but I'm definitely looking forward to the movie!

    • For "ALL that is" to be "ALL that is", all that could ever be, must be, somewhere and somewhen. Whether, those possibilities are relevant to our personal reality is a whole another topic. Of the infinite amount of possibilities of universes/ reality frames, our localized universe has the fundamental values allowing the perpetual evolution of biological life as we know it. So if such a laboratory for life exists, why would the consciousness from which it all stemmed, constrain itself to choose only one medium through which to experience its physical manifestation?. Why would the one, universal consciousness choose only one type of sentient conduit (human biology) to experience this particular physical reality frame? There is just way too much that needs to be observed and experienced to limit specifically just to mankind and its biosphere. To deny the existence of extraterrestrial existence clearly demonstrates the infinitesimally limited scope of humanity's perception of the larger reality and its role within it.

      I think some definitive evidence that unknown aerial phenomena, clearly under some form of intelligent guidance or conscious intent are visiting the earth, resides in the UFO laboratory of the world: Hessdalen, Norway. For years, the citizens have been studying unknown aerial phenomena with 24 hour surveillance equipment, documenting hundreds of cases, including but in no way limited to the Norway Spiral. If you are still too much of a skeptic after viewing their materials and still aren't convinced, then are direct experience is the only thing that can help you out of your stasis. Maybe Steven Greer can help you out with that (www.cseti.org).

      Check out the website about the town http://www.hessdalen.org/index_e.shtml

      Also, here area some very well put together documentaries covering the Hessdalen phenomena. Check out the Portal - the Hessdalen Phenomena. http://newparadigm.no/web/guest

    • Absolutely! Be that as it may, I must add . . .
      If any of them pick "the City of Angels" to launch their arrival, they will certainly be proving themselves to be a less than "highly intelligent" species! ::lol::
      I can say this because I was born and raised here! ::LOL::

    • Hell yeah! I saw UFO open up for Ozzy Osbourne on the "Diary Of A Madmann" tour and I also saw them at the Louisville Summer Jam one year w/Thin Lizzy, Reo Speedwagon, Bob Seeger, Journey, Sammy Hagar and Foriegner. They fuckin' rocked, Micheal Shencker is an underated guitarist.

      While I think that the possibility of life outside of Earth is so high it's almost a given fact, the stories seem too fantastical, especially considering most of them can be traced back to a movie, a show, a book, or even other UFO abduction stories.

    • No. Some of it is swamp gas, some of it is experimental aircraft, and some of it is experimental aircraft that runs on swamp gas. Besides, the Betelgeusians are years off from the development of infinite improbability drive!

    • YES... Until we grow up! Want nothing to do with us. Until we are one people of Peace~

      Alien life is this what they think of us?

      Witness this world and what we have done to it.
      Witness our wars, our genocidal orgies of self-immolation,
      our myriad tyrants murdering and oppressing us here,
      there and everywhere. Witness our "progress"
      that has devastated this planet even more than our killing sprees.

      Look at our new religion, unbridled hedonism in our drugs,
      our movies and televisions expressing sex and violence and treachery as our normal nature, our mammoth sports spectacles and the orgies of destruction at victory or defeat, our TV preachers in their mansions, our grotesque expressions of "conspicuous consumption", our throw-away relationships,
      our incredible greed, our crime organized as big business,
      our corruption as those of us who climb to the top so often
      betray the rest of us with their palaces and secret police,
      our temples to Mammon in the financial markets where those
      with money send it wherever they can find a quick profit while
      contributing absolutely nothing, our unbelievable
      Sodoms and Gomorras devoted purely and simply to
      gambling and various forms of prostitution.

      Witness our repudiation of morals and traditional values as we abandon,
      as we betray our responsibilities, as we "turn away" from Awakened Spiritual soul, nature, community, family and even our own souls in frantically
      seeking escape from ourselves, escape from the horror of
      being what we so indisputably are and ever more openly express a philosophy of "I'm the best; Screw the rest" in our everyday lives.

      YOU-Make a difference, leave this earth better than we found it!

    • Believe in UFO's? No. I do not believe,
      I know them personally. It's not a belief.
      They come over all the time.
      Would you like to say hello to my little friend!

      There's also technology there that we do not comprehend. We cannot lift a limestone rock that is 100 tons. We have no explanation for Pyramids or how they are so closely aligned to the stars and planets. So maybe you should share their beliefs to expand your mind, body, and soul.

    • sorry. I absolutely Believe. there's way more proof of Alien existence, visitation, etc than there is of Jesus Christ ever walking the earth... for a primer, check out the Ancient Alien series on History channel. It'll blow your mind. this trailer is based on something that REALLY went down. same thing with the Phoenix Lights documentary. Thousands of people can not see the same thing, produce videotape, pictures, etc and then be told some bullshit that doesn't make any sense at all...unless you're watching Fox News , that is... the Aliens are real. They started all this (us). just replace "Angel" with "Alien" and it all makes sense. now as for what they want? It's all a game.

    • i have had instances of misunderstood sights and in the back of my mind think was that supernatural, saw bright lights in sky and thought what the fuck? turned out to be lights from a haunted house nearby.

      So things are seen by people that is over seen, if that makes sense.

    • If UFO, means Unidentified Flying Object , then yes. But I don't think ET and his family are regularly flying the friendly skies.

    • By definition, I believe in Unidentified Flying Objects, but does that necessarily mean ailens??? If I throw a telephone over the 405 freeway, you may not be able to "identify" what you saw flying over the freeway... so did you just see a UFO??? YUP!!!!

    • I absolutely believe that there is life on other planets, but I'm not sure if I buy the concept of UFO sightings. I think that there is another explanation in each case.

    • I have seen lights while out in the desert. But then I realized that they were stars or airplanes. So nothing too dramatic there.
