Right now I am an amateur one studying to be a real life grown up one when I graduate. :D The star system of Zeta Reticuli features heavily in UFO lore and Sci Fi (The Alien movies, Prometheus, Space Above & Beyond, The X-Files, even Star Trek). From the alleged abduction of Barney and Betty Hill through the MJ-12 documents to Bob Lazar's "Sports Model", to Project SERPO, these two stars 39 light years away and only visible to Earth's southern hemisphere have been mentioned quite a lot.

This case has been mentioned as part of several threads but it is such a strange encounter I think it deserves its own, a thread of which I was not able to find. The main witness, Haraldo Westendorf, has produced the drawings you will see in this thread as visual representations of his encounter. He says they have been drawn to approximate scale. The quoted text in this thread is from the following website, which is also listed in the sources: "Westendorf is 40 years old, a father of three children and a successful businessman. He is also an avid private pilot rated for acrobatic flying. The following account is based directly on his one-hour...

Hey Guys, Today we're getting into a subject that hits very close to home for me (as you'll see in the video) and is no stranger to controversy--the infamous Second Amendment. We had the chance to speak with Cody Wilson, the twenty-six year old director of Defense Distributed who recently made headlines with the...

So they want our guns ... (In celebration of my 1775th post.) Bad move on the British's part in 1775. We are the militia the second amendment warned them about.
