Not one person here has come up with anything compelling. All we get is cases that have been proven a hoax eg Roswell autopsy footage, word of mouth - he said she said, and photos that are at best, inconclusive.

PROOF, that's what we're after.

Double post.

When i was 8 years old, I was at a Boarding school in Worcestershire in England. There was an old tyre attached to a tree behind the school gym and each evening we would go out and play on it until the bell went for bed.

I remember one evening i was out playing with a friend called Paul, It was just getting darkso i guess it must have been Oct and the year was 1970.
I have never written this story down before but i ahve never forgotten it and often think about it.

While the two of us were messing on the swing i happened to look up t the sky. It;s the sort of thing you do on swings i guess, anyway as i looked up this vessel, ship whatever it was , was literally just a few hundred meters above our heads. I immediately pointed it out to my friend Paul and we both observed it clearly against a starlit sky. It blacked out a huge area of the sky and what was strange was that there was not a sound.

The shape of it was irregular, it wasn't round and it wasn't oval or cylindrical, the only shape it reminded me of was a paperweight my father had given me of the shape of Texas, What i mean was this thing had blocks sticking out at the sides and looked like somthing a kid would build from lego.

It had red, green and blue lights on it but i can't remember if they were in formation or scattered around the base of the craft.

Myself and my friend watched this craft silently move over us and proceed across the school grounds. We chased after it and were able to keep it insight all the way to the edge of the school bounds where we watched it float away in the distance.

The following morning I remember my friend and I both excitedly rushing to the headmasters office looking for his newspaper, expecting it to be full of Ufo sightings etc but were shocked to find nothing mentioned.

As the years have gone by i used to think it was strange that an alien craft would have lights with colours that we would reognise, I also thought about the silence of the craft.

I have read hundred of stories about UFO sightings and am always bias when i hear about other people talking about the silence of these craft. It makes me believe they really did see something as i know exactly what they were talking about.

I sometimes think about seeing a hypnotist to see if they can regress me so that i can relive the experience as an adult so to speak, to see if i can gleen some more detail of the craft, but i'm afraid i have also read a lot about regressive hypnosis and believe it could simply implant false memories. Boy do i wish i could relive that sighting now as an adult.

My Point being to the op, People who have genuinely seen UFO's and are sure it wasn't a balloon, helicopter etc, don't really care about having to prove it to anyone else. They are not trying to convert people to believers.
They know for sure themeselves that there is someting out there and thats enough.

People like us don't visit forums like ATS hoping to be convinced of UFO's we are here just looking and waiting for the event when everyone else gets to see one.

how about that video of the dissection of the aliens at Roswell? im pretty sure that hasn't been debunked? looks pretty real to me but yeah, if someone on here who knows more could clear that up im more than happy to know more, just brainstorming ahah.

Yeah that statement makes a lot of sense.....

To all those demanding "proof"; what will you accept as proof of UFO's or aliens?

Personally, my bag of "evidence" is getting pretty heavy, and I'm pretty sure UFO's and aliens do exist. That conclusion is based on evidence, a very large body of evidence. But to each his own, what would make you change you mind, Mr. I Need Proof?

I've lowered myself to post in this pathetic thread...

Op get a life... with your totally negative opinion to evidence why would anyone take the time to put together a compelling argument towards someone so negative.

Good luck

What would you call your UFO ?
My UFO name is Boom Ba.

If I make a flying object then the use is for a Unidentified Flying Object report.
I make a flying object
Nonetheless, the use is for a Unidentified Flying Object report.


By the way, NASA has a marvelous scheme for a ufo.
There's no one on that damn thing called a space station.

What goes as proof to you?

The only way to make a close minded individual believe is by confirmation in basic news by authorities.

There are various amazing videos that are mysteries. They prove there is SOMETHING unidentified out there.

What about military people telling about visiations, and all the others, pilots, astronauts..

I don't know what the truth is, but it would be simply astounding if all the people making those testimonies by risk of losing their jobs would suffer from some mental issue that makes them make those great lies without any profit!!!

I know, it's frustrating as hell to wait for confirmation.

Show us ONE, just one UFO pic or ANY evidence that can be proven as evidence of visitation

this is a flawed query - but I think you already know this

All proofs are dependent upon axioms. You provide none. Thus your demand for proof is simply impossible by the very nature in which you define proof.

Riddle me this...

Name ANYTHING that can be proven without first making any assumptions that in itself will defy proof (answer: you can't)

reality is subjective - facts are simply agreed upon assumptions - truth is just conformity with fact


as for my opinion...I do not know for certain if we are being visited, but I am convinced we are not alone in the universe even though this is no indication of visitation in current or past times

yet I do suspect so due to simple logic

Life being near omni-present is an axiom in itself...a self-evident truth that requires no proof. The sky is full of stars and planets beyond counting. Logic dictates intelligent life is also present out there.

Humans have already been "visitors" to other planets less than a mere 100 years after the horse and buggy lifestyle. So for me...that kinda makes the visitation question a: "no brainer"

Yet there is no proof....not because there is not enough evidence...but merely because you choose to deny it as sufficient enough to be subjectively labeled as "proof". Big deal...so do I...at this time...I merely accept without proof.

I don't need proof...I have common sense
