Question. How long has it been since any one of you has looked up at the sky more than 10 seconds? Our eyes are glued to computers, television or sporting events. Nobody looks at the sky except maybe a few farmers who happen to be working late in the fields.

Less than 2 hours (it has been.) Didn’t see no UFOs. Happy?

Mr Lee: Do not feel like the Lone Ranger. I spend a lot of time outside and have seen three UFO’s and I’m as sane as Dr. Phil. I was a USAF Comm-Ops Officer with Top Secret Crypto NO-FORN EYES-ONLY CNWDI SIOP, etc, clearances for about 12 years and have flown twin engine jets solo a half dozen times. Those three UFOs were not winged aircraft, balloons, gliders or whatever else men fly. I saw the first just after sundown about 1974 in Callaway Fl near Tyndall AFB. It was about 100 ft wide by about 200 ft long and I guess about 20 ft deep. It was flying about 30 mph about 40 ft above the trees. There were a couple dozen colored lights around the girth and a spotlight on the front and another on the rear, both shining towards a shield shaped pod with a windscreen on the bottom that looked like the “cockpit”. It sounded like a large factory bay with many loud exhaust fans and a big forge that went “woomp-ting” about every six seconds. It looked like an underwater exploratory craft with lots of pipes and conduits visible in the searchlight beams on the bottom. It caused my house lights to blink out about 5 seconds as it went overhead. I saw the second UFO near Appleyard and HWY 20 in Tallahassee about 8AM about 1995. It was the classic small grey winged disk (about 20X10 ft), silver domes top and bottom with a bright white light on the bottom. I watched it slowly wobbled like a gyroscope about 150 away and about 75 ft high over a field for about 3-4 minutes and then it became a bright light and shot off like a bullet 45 degrees upwards and away; in about 5 seconds, I could no longer see it. The third was about 2001 in Capitola Fl at about 5PM and looked like a torpedo 100X15 ft without fins, shiny as a mirror, flying about 75 mph just above the trees. I watched it for about 5 minutes before it was gone.

The notion that civilization, from the perspective of ‘modern humankind’ is changing in their fundamental way of processing information I found most intriguing. The author made a good case for there having been such changes —paradigm shifts if you will— which hallmark directions civilization takes at Historic epochs.

I’m more inclined to believe that the UFO visitors have said “to hell with this place, they’re all crazy...........Lets go check out Uranus.”

What's the use? Here in S.E. Michigan all we have are rain and snow clouds.....
