Gramps, it would be best if you were to click on the "New Thread" button above the columns. You will get a much better response by doing that. This thread is more or less a site information thread more than anything else, intended to relay updated info to the users of the Aliens & UFO's section of the forum.

A new thread will get you some answers, I have no doubt of that. If you cant find the clickable button to do this just ask your daughter for some help. Good luck...

on the one hand it may be easier to catch bees with honey than it'd be with vinegar, but on the other hand, the agressor may be able to deduce a thing or two depending on any response solicited...food for thought?

Sort of like waterboarding to see how they react?

Nope... politely asked questions can do the same thing. Demanding answers aggressively only elicits angry responses.

That's why, on these boards, courtesy is mandatory

May I suggest you either post a picture or draw a simple diagram?

There are starfield programs on the web, just search on Astronomy programs on a shareware site. Then you can orient the sky and get an idea of what you might be seeing.

One old program I've used is 'Skyglobe', but I don't know if they even have a shareware version anymore. IIRC it was a DOS program, but it might have been ported to Windoze.

If you post a pic and/or a diagram and use a 'N-S' 'E-W' pointer in the corner, and an outline of what you see, with the horizon (use your fingers, or hand in front of you at arms length to depict the azimuth), it might generate more interest.

If you want to get fancy input your lat. and long. then people who like to use Google Earth can help you, possibly.

Good luck and thanks for the report!

Very glad to see your thread.

Seems to me it had become virtually a grandstanding ego flaunting RELIGION to rant at virtually any new poster or poster who had an unusual story to tell--firtually--REGARDLESS of the facts, the personal element of personal experiences etc.

And folks not joining into the RELIGION OF ATTACK were deemed to be stupid, uneducated, unskilled in analysis and the like. All such was more than a LITTLE off-putting, to say the least.

It quicly began to seem like one of the growing traditions hereon was the RELIGION OF ATTACK or otherwise reasonably described as . . . the Jr High School p*ssing contest.

No thanks. Such has left me veering clear of ATS for days at a time and I'm a big fan. What has it done to folks less intensly interested in our typical topics? Turned them off permanently? Sad, that.

In short--thanks much for your thread. Now you may have to bore a hole and pour it into some noggins around here but at least it's a much needed clear, strong statement. And I'm very thankful for that.

as a long time lurker first time member the "search" is a crock. nice idea....but a crock. unless you know what exact thread you're lookin for then good luck. try using a coupla werds from the topic ...no luck. if you find it, my experience is that it takes hours of flipping to find stuff i saw only a couple of months ago. these are not complaints mind you, as i relish research, i just don't relish re-search, if ya know what i mean.my point, don't dump on people because they didn't search "hard enough", just point them in the right direction, with a solid link if possible and let the the info educate. being smug that you know something that someone else doesn't know helps no one.....we're all here for the same reason (unless you are zionist, shape shifting reptilion, draco, zeta-reticulan, master of orion, jedi, nordic, for us or agin us, somthin or another sob. you know who you are{waves fist at sky for no reason})
thus ends my first post. hope y'all don't take a dislikin' to me and blow me up real soon.

just as an aside, i am in no way implicating you Denied, of such behaviour, i am only replying to this thread, and as such, my reply is most relevant to your statement about the search option. cheers! fellow questioner of the statquo!
