Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit, and as vital to our lives as water and good bread.

May I point out that the thread title should be changed since it isn't a "possible UFO...", but currently it is a UFO. I think what was meant was that it is "possibly an alien aircraft..."
.....Someday, like many others who joined WB in the early years, I may dry up and dissapear....
There's been a lot of UFO-type shows on lately and a lot of data dumps by various governments; the latest one just this month by the U.K. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...UFO-files.html.
You think someone's trying to tell us something
if you can't identify it, it is a UFO - doesn't mean it is a spaceship
The observable universe is about 14 billion parsecs (2.70410991×10^23 miles) across, containing literally billions of galaxies, each containing up to 1 trillion stars, and a substantial fraction of stars have a system of planets around them. It is extremely unlikely that there is no other intelligent life, let alone any other life at all. But have they visited us just to hover over a rural spot then jet off? Well I couldn't say, not being an alien, but I'd guess not.
I have video footaage from 2003 when I camped in the wooden fire tower there.
Same thing, two lights that kept moving slowly back and forth,no sound at all....I filmed a Plane at the same time flying near so anyone watching would understand that a plane makes a noise and these things did not.
After aqbout ten minutes, one of them faded out, the other did a strange zig zag, and then ZIP! It shoot straight into the heavens at a 90% abgle, no bullshiz.
I was told in Hot Springs that it was the Brown MTN lights.

There's a new book out on Area 51 and it's a crazy story according to the author Annie Jacobsen: http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_upshot...nd-roswell-ufo
Even if you believe we're being visited; I simply cannot believe aliens crashed in New Mexico or anywhere else. However I'm also having real problems with this lady's version of what happened in 1947. But I'm still almost tempted to go and buy the book.
New book says USSR was behind Roswell UFO
Is truth stranger than conspiracy-theory fiction? A new book on Area 51 that's already generating a ton of buzz says there was no alien spacecraft that crashed in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. Instead, Stalin did it--maybe.
According to Annie Jacobsen, the reporter who authored "Area 51," the spaceship was actually a Soviet spy plane that came down during a storm. Jacobsen claims it was filled with bizarre, genetically engineered child-sized pilots. Then-Soviet leader Joseph Stalin was hoping, Jacobsen alleges, that the new cause widespread panic in the U.S.
The story gets even stranger: The leader of the USSR had apparently been inspired by the 1938 radio adaptation radio broadcast of the HG Wells story "War of the Worlds," produced by Orson Welles. The broadcast triggered panic in some listeners who tuned in and mistook it for a real-life alien invasion. (Though later students of the episode claim that the media of Welles' day vastly exaggerated the scale of public alarm over the broadcast.)
And those ET-looking aviators? They were scientific experiments created by the "Angel of Death," Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, for the USSR after the war. The flight was piloted remotely, according to accounts in the book, and was filled with a crew of "alien-like children."
According to Jacobsen's source, a retired engineer who was put on the project in 1978, the look of the human experiments could explain the alien conspiracy theories: "They were grotesquely deformed, but each in the same manner as the others. They had unusually large heads and abnormally shaped oversize eyes."
Is any of this true? There's no way to prove it. Documents surrounding the Roswell incident are still classified--as is virtually all information related to the mystery spot.
Still, lack of proof hasn't exactly stopped the book from sparking speculation on the media circuit and on the Web. In the last day, Yahoo! searches skyrocketed 3,000 percent for "area 51 book." And the tome is penned not by a crackpot conspirator, but a respected journalist.
Even the New York Times gives her credence, writing in its review: "Although this connect-the-dots UFO thesis is only a hasty-sounding addendum to an otherwise straightforward investigative book about aviation and military history, it makes an indelible impression. 'Area 51' is liable to become best known for sci-fi provocation."
But sci-fi provocation may be all the book generates. After all, without the government coming out and saying what happened back in 1947, even if there was no conspiracy, the stories of the "Roswell Incident" will remain just that.

If I put my tinfoil hat on at just the right angle, I can almost believe some of this stuff.
