Lurking for Years

Hello All!

Well I finally did it, its official, I joined.
After nearly five years of coming to this site daily, Sometimes multiple times a day.

I feel like I know most of the regular posting members here and there personalities. Yea, Ive seen it change over the years. Members come and go. I still like coming here everyday and getting my daily ATS dose.

A little about me. Im just a regular guy from North Carolina, almost 29 Years old. Ive always been interested in the fringe, Conspiracies, unexplained, unknown, hidden, alternative, paranormal, UFOs, Extraterrestrials, etcetera.. yea,.. pretty much all of it. Its always been there. When I was a young child I was always interested and curious about these topics and studied them. Ive done many years of reading and research into many of the topics that are discussed here. No amateur

Even though Im not really big on Commenting/debating/discussing/arguing. I looked forward to being an official member here and knowing I can voice my opinion now if I want too

Et's?.. From a strictly Scientific and empirical evidence POV.. Not there.. Yet..
But for me personally, Yes I believe in Et's and Highly Advanced Et's , I think Someone would be almost foolish to believe otherwise, Yea,. Ive seen and read almost everything available out there concerning the matter.. Have I seen an ET? No. Cant say that I have, So I have to work with what information I have.

UFO's,. are exactly what the term means. Unidentified. Now, if they are man-made or not is another question. I personally think 80% of UFO's that people don't understand are indeed man-made, However there are another percentage that... who the hell knows. Studied it for years.. And alas!! I still don't know.

Abductions?.. To me, are real phenomenon. excluding the true scientific method. We have only limited evidence to run with. To me everything that is out there about abductions is enough to convince me that there is (or was) something happening, Witness testimony, implants, hypnosis, physical markings. However, I haven't "personally" decided what the Who, What, When, Why, of this yet.. And yes.. Ive seen hundreds of hours of video and read much into this over the years.

Demons?.. I was raised in the south US. Baptist. But I didn't buy into it at an early age. fell out of it, then got back into it. then theology, taking bible history. learned about all different religions and why people believe what they believe. read many many books concerning religion. then read many many books that were.. well, reasoning and rational. Not a believer in big organized religion. However I do believe all humans have a naturally inherit spiritual aspect. Demons in the biblical sense. No. In a personal aspect. Yes

As for the other beings you ask about..
Basically, the same conclusion goes for them as I stated above.

Nice to meet you FaceLikeTheSun.
I don't recall seeing your name when I was lurking

Hello Dominos, I registered a while back but I am now starting to post. Welcome to ATS.

It seems as though we are cut from the same cloth, I just made the plunge this morning...although I've only got my feet wet

Thanks all,

Its finally nice to be able and put a face, or Avatar to a members post.
I also like the fact that I can now view other members profiles. That was a big reason for me joining. I like to be able to view members previous post and started threads.

I haven't really replied to any threads yet. I can spend days just reading and swimming through all the information thats already posted.

This also reminded me of something else.

I recall watching a news cast a few years back about a hillbilly mountain man from my own state that claims to have seen Bigfoot.

I just found the video on youtube. It is hilarious!! I hope you guys and gals get a kick out of this. I sure did.
He says "it was a menacing with his dogs" and "it had long beautiful hair" so He takes a stick and tells it to "GET!, Get outa here!"

Welcome, Dominos! I am also a new member. Just joined a few days ago.

I am also interested in the paranormal, which is one reason I joined. They have some really good threads here on the subject.

Hope to see you in the threads soon.
