Lights over Lafayette

[Feralpeg]

What do you think about this? This happened over Lafayette, Colorado. So far, the government has refused to comment.

Comment by someone who witnessed them:

"No it did not look like a solid mass but more like 3 separate lights. They moved generally in the formation of a triangle, however, at one point that they moved into a single line formation then back to a triangle formation. They moved very, very slowly. There was no jet engine or helicopter noise. The lights did not blink with a regular pattern."

I"m a solid believer that we are visited, probably more than we know, by visitors from other planets. I've seen one as well, so I am a definite believer. Not sure what these were though, but I wouldn't rule it out. I have no doubt we've been visited for centuries by ETs.

Wow! Cool!

Ok, to me, they look like UFOs, and I mean alien-not-from-Earth.

Why the heck doesn't the government just admit they believe we're being visited? And I don't mean just our government, since this happens all over the world.

My husband is a total non-believer and says if it's true, SOME government somewhere would come out and admit they believe from evidence seen.
Sometimes I think he has a point, but maybe every government of every country is in cahoots to keep it quiet??

I've never seen anything like what's in the video, but I'm dying to!

Hoax, high-tech secret government technology (from Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora, CO?), odd weather phenomena, or least likely, extraterrestrials (or time travels, I suppose).

I don't doubt that life can exist on other planets. I find it highly unlikely that such life would have discovered a way of spanning great distances in relatively short periods of time. The closest planet to our solar system is 10.5 light years ago. Any travel to our planet would take AT LEAST 10.5, and that is IF an extraterrestrial society discovered a way to travel cose to the speed of light.

Of course, if such a society found a way to travel from point to point B without having to cross all of the space in between the two points, that would make things easier. Theoretically, that is possible, since according to Einstein's theory of General Relativity, spacetime is curved. A vehicle would need to basically LEAVE spacetime (our generally accepted four dimensions) and somehow reenter in another part of spacetime without any linear time passing. This could be done by use of a "Wormhole" (which is only theoretical), much line a tunnel through a mountain. Again, this is a hard concept to grasp since it isn't something that human beings have been able to accomplish.

But then, assuming that a race of aliens have been able to warp timespace, it would make it just as likely that these lights are crafts from OUR own future. Heck, maybe even more so.

I do not rule out the possibility of anything until I have solid proof that it is not possible. The fact that similar things have appeared around the world and that no government claims responsibility tends to make me a believer.

Awhile back, there was a man who predicted that lights would be seen over New York on a specific day. He made this prediction well in advance. Sure enough, strange lights were spotted over the city on that day. The man claimed that they are definitely alien ships, but that they are friendly. Very interesting.

As Fox Muldar once said, "I want to believe."

We had something similar In Ireland about a year or 2 ago it went on for a while people thought it was UFO's they turned out to be chinese lanterns they look a lot like the ones in the video. Im not saying thats what they are just giving another point of view

Awhile back, there was a man who predicted that lights would be seen over New York on a specific day.

I assume you are talking about Stanley A. Fulham? on June 26, 2010, he predicted MAJOR UFO activity on October 13 across the world. Specifically, he said:

"they will reveal themselves in a massive UFO display over our principle cities as the first step.”

Some people in NYC saw orbs that looked a lot like yellow balloons that were launched from Times Square. And additional photos from Fox were Jupiter:

Whatever happened on 10/13 (by the way, Chris Carter's, creator of the X-Files, birthday. And Fox Mulder's birthday), it wasn't the earth shatterring event Mr. Fulham claimed it was going to be. We didn't see ships in an Independence Day-style hovering over major cities.

I'm a total believer than we are being visited by something from another planet! I wish the government would own up to it.. either that or at least make up a better explanation than "we don't know"

Some governments have, including our own. In 1947 the Roswell incident, the Army first came out and released a press release stating that they had captured a extra terrestrial space craft. Then the next day after the higher ups heard about it, they made them retract the story for the infamous "weather balloon" story.

There have been lots of important people, including several well known U.S. Astronauts who have testified about their accounts of seeing ET space craft. One astronaut Gordon "Gordo" Cooper, who was one of the original Mercury 7 astronauts, said that a alien spacecraft landed on an air force base he was stationed at (this was before he was an astronaut) and they filmed it.

Buzz Aldrin (2nd man on the moon) also said they had a UFO follow them during most of their trip to the moon. THere have been many other stories.

If there is really a society that is that advanced, I doubt they would want anything to do with us.

Probably only to the extent we are interested in creatures in the ocean. Although there are several theories, they also may be helping our species.

And as to the question why doesn't the government come clean about it, there are 2 explanations, one is the original one, they originally thought such disclosure would cause widespread panic and civil break down, due to the reaction the 1939 Orson Wells War of the Worlds broadcast caused. The only other explanation would be that the government is in contact with the ETs and they have agreed not to disclose they are here in exchange for their help.

I do not think the ETs are any threat to us. They could have wiped us out centuries ago if that was their intention. Also, societies that are that advanced to have interplanetary travel capability are super advanced and would have no desire to travel here only to kill us all.

I suspect a lot of the ET spacecraft we see, very well could be tourist (their form of cruise ships) Especially the big ones. Much like we get on a huge cruise ship to go to Cancun or wherever, their rich probably have that capability to go visit other planets.

The other ships we see, are probably their versions of military and/or science teams keeping us under surveillance and study. After all you would not want a species as violent as the human race to be able to potentially travel to their planet right?

I believe. I've heard over and over the reason our government refuses to own up to all this is because it will destroy religion. Supposedly that would cause chaos and they'd no longer have any control.

I've heard this too, I think out of all the explanations this one is the dumbest. Whey would everyone stop believing in God (the people that do) if we found out there were ETs? That is so ridiculous. If anything it would just confirm God to me. I think this probably goes down as just another excuse they use to keep the truth from us. And that one is the lamest one of all.

 

[Bungle]

We've had them over Oregon too. Not sure what it is but I personally don't believe in aliens.

But they believe in you.

 

[rie'smom]

I'm thinking a USAF flight formation. Who knows though. If it is UFOs I'm not concerned unless and until they start something. If that happens, we can all lean over and kiss it goodbye anyway because they got here and found us so that would mean they're much more advanced than we are.

Stephen Hawking, has suggested that extraterrestrials are almost certain to exist — but that instead of seeking them out, humanity should be doing all it that can to avoid any contact.

Alien life, he will suggest (in Documentary Discovery Channel), is almost certain to exist in many other parts of the universe: not just in planets, but perhaps in the centre of stars or even floating in interplanetary space.
The universe, he points out, has 100 billion galaxies, each containing hundreds of millions of stars. In such a big place, Earth is unlikely to be the only planet where life has evolved.

To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational,” He said: “If aliens ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn’t turn out very well for the Native Americans.”
