Sounds awesome Oloufo

Skinny Bob from 2011 still looks good today in 2021.

a reply to: oloufo

Great work, oloufo!

I don't know if it's pertinent to your list as this didn't happen on earth, but I posted a thread about Oumuamua and some new research can't exclude the possibility that it could have been of ET origin.

a reply to: oloufo

Great thread but remember it goes back well before even the 19th century.



The question then becomes are they the same or do they have different origins or are they different factions?.




Remember Alexander the Great's sighting's such as the fiery shields that destroyed the walls of Tyre for him to invade after a siege lasting month's during which time he had failed to defeat the city time and again until they attacked those walls.

Alexander the Great's Army being stopped from entering India by similar flying shields that dipped and dived at his men when they tried to cross a river scaring his elephant's.

A Roman general reporting seeing what looked like men and chariots in the sky when he was training his men in Italy.

Chinese celestial phenomena that also match UFO reports.

The Airship Flaps of the 1800's and early 1900's.

One of the most compelling accounts is the Aztec UFO crash in 1948. What makes this event so interesting and compelling is the large number of independent witnesses. You can learn more about it at:

right, thanks!

I would just add it to this thread. That way it all stays together.

For reference. Buried in the bowels of ATS now.

Dearly departed JKRog ran a thread many years ago

The ATS UFO/Alien Chronological Thread Directory

Which was continued by Karl12 here.

Jkrog's New and Revised Chronological UFO Thread Directory.

Both are comprehensive lists of threads here on ATS.

I wish there was more on the Cape Girardeau, Missouri crash in 1941. I think this is the crash that started the talk about shooting down these UFO saucers Roswell was the one in which they finally had a weapon , I believe it was some type of radar, to bring down a few.

a reply to: oloufo

Off the top of my head:

O'Hare airport sighting
Stephenville sighting
Tehran UFO incident
Varginha UFO incident
Battle of Los Angeles

There's so many, lol

"Eduard Albert Meier

It's worth pointing out that Gordon Cooper is on videotape endorsing the authenticity of Meier's photos. I suggest that this tells us more about Cooper's late-in-life judgment than it does about Meier's authenticity.

a reply to: oloufo

On the Bob Lazar front, there's some research I'd love to jump into with a group of people nif they were willing to get together and brain storm it out .

Assuming Bob Lazar story is true (I believe it is)

Following the EG&G breadcrumbs and trying to find the military contractor that has custody of the crafts.

If we can find that out, we can point the proper people in the right direction. There's so many rocks, they don't know which ones to lift.

"Eduard Albert Meier
Eduard Albert Meier, commonly nicknamed "Billy", is a alleged contactee whose UFO photographs are claimed to show alien spacecraft."

It's worth pointing out that Gordon Cooper is on videotape endorsing the authenticity of Meier's photos. I suggest that this tells us more about Cooper's late-in-life judgment than it does about Meier's authenticity.

Let's add some more detail were Meier is concerned.


Mr Meier is literally a cult leader, even if we play devil's advocate for him and assume he may have had at least one or perhaps several early real experiences the fact is that he hoaxed most of his photograph's and probably all of them.

He was also caught out by a reporter with models of UFO's.

Despite this in Coopers defence Meier even convinced some sitting politicians.

His message was mostly harmless and about saving the world, disarming and stepping back from the cold war arms race but of course he seems to have enjoyed the celebrity it brought him.

I wonder if this was a similar case.

If it was then you have to admit it was well done (And kind of like the VOICE OF THE MYSTERONS) even if they only managed to over ride one single Television Transmitter in southern England - probably using a portable set up in the back of a van or similar, actually the kind of thing the French would call ART.

Just in case anyone is perplexed by that Mysterons reference they were an alien race in a puppet science fiction show from about the same time as that transmission or perhaps even a bit earlier from a show called Captain Scarlet.


That said while we KNOW that Meiers images are definitely not trust worthy there are plenty of other sources.




It is possible some of Meiers hoaxed images may have been included in at least one of these videos but the others are still unexplained.


Sadly the simple minded are often swayed by charismatic cult leaders like Meier and some just want to feel like the belong in a world were they feel alienated.

But this can end in tragedy with examples such as the Heaven's Gate Cult to think about.

There are still quite a few UFO cult's worldwide and one in the US is of course The Raelian cult.
www.learnreligions.com...

They may seem harmless but then again so too did the Heaven's Gate Cult until they all killed themselves so that they could spiritually fly up to an imaginary space ship in the tail of Halley's comet, mmm were did they get that idea from?.
Sounds like the early 80's sci fi horror Life Force, sometimes even cult leaders lack imagination but when they had those people so wrapped around there finger and believing every word they said well just like many other cult mass suicides tragedy entailed.
