UFO's

[MurphOnMillerAve]

The HistoryChannel has presented several shows, today, focused on the numerous reports by residents and, at times, police about UFO sightings. California, Colorado, Arizona, Texas, Utah, and Missouri have received particular attention through the past several decades for sightings that have been witnessed by many and even filmed.

One would hope, considering how many people across the planet have camera-capable cellphones, that in contemporary times zillions of photos could be and would be taken of any alleged or apparent UFO's and shared with the world . Yet, I have not heard, on the News, or via TV specials, of cellphone-recorded sightings.

I wonder why that is, to date.

Viewpoints?

Viewpoint? Our sun is a single star in our galaxy, the Milky Way, which we're told has literally millions of stars. Then think about the hundreds of galaxies that we're told are believed to be in space. We now know that there are more than 9 planets in our solar system, so how many solar systems are there in our galaxy; in all the galaxies. To think that we are the only intelligent life in all of space would be naive. I'm ruling out religious belief of our God of Heaven & Earth. There simply must be other life out there in the billions of planets, and those lives would have their own cultures and religions. Just can't help but think that!

Last I heard there were 8, what with the downgrade of Pluto to a dwarf planet. Haven't seen any mention of there being more than 9. Have any links to this new info.?

It's all Trump's fault! The Idiot Dumbocrats blame everything else on him, might as well pile this one on.

E7, I might be F'ed up! I know I heard something about Pluto not bein' the last planet, or maybe it was that Saturn or Uranus has way more moons than previously thought. Don't know, don't care, ain't gonna argue about it. My thoughts still stand about other intelligent life out there in universe. And all of my statements can be substantiated by my own opinion.

Pluto's planetary status yo-yos up and down. It is currently a "dwarf" planet, sort of a little brother. At least five more of the type have been discovered.

[E7]

Mitch,

NO ARGUMENT intended. I just thought there may have been some news that I missed!

I don't really care either, and screw 'em, Pluto is still a planet in my solar system!

IMHO if there is intelligent life in the universe and it is capable,it will contact us when it is ready.

I don't understand the "History" channel spending so much time on myths, legends, superstitions, ufos, etc.
Some will/have said it is the Governments way to prepare us for the upcoming announcement concerning this.
Now I know that will upset some of you but I will not be amazed or surprised if a
ufo lands, we find a Yeti or one of its variants, or the Ark of the Covenant and it burns skin and melts people.
Or not.
All of those things and more have always been fun to read.

Billions and billions. Carl Sagan said so.
We now know that there are more than 9 planets in our solar system, so how many solar systems are there in our galaxy; in all the galaxies.

No doubt that life exists elsewhere. We have life around fumerols at the bottom of the oceans. Posting intelligent life is something else, especially if you consider how unlikely it was that intelligent life evolved on Planet Earth (excepting Democrats). Besides, if Intelligent life evolved elsewhere, how likely is it that such life would have traveled through interstellar space to reach Earth? It could be, that after being subjected to endless reruns of "I Love Lucy," other intelligent life may have decided visitation wasn't worth the effort.

II don't understand the "History" channel spending so much time on myths, legends, superstitions, ufos, etc.

Roger, Murph was reporting on shows on people who saw and/or filmed UFOs, not myths, legends, superstitions, ufos, etc.

But History Channel does have shows on myths, legends, superstitions, ufos, etc. because they are part of human history.

The existence of an unknown ninth planet was first proposed by Percival Lowell, who theorized that wobbles in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune were caused by the gravitational pull of an unknown planetary body. Lowell calculated the approximate location of the hypothesized ninth planet and searched for more than a decade without success. However, in 1929, using the calculations of Lowell and W.H. Pickering as a guide, the search for Pluto was resumed at the Lowell Observatory in Arizona. On February 18, 1930, Tombaugh discovered the tiny, distant planet by use of a new astronomic technique of photographic plates combined with a blink microscope. His finding was confirmed by several other astronomers, and on March 13, 1930–the anniversary of Lowell’s birth and of William Hershel’s discovery of Uranus–the discovery of Pluto was publicly announced.

With Planet 9 (Pluto) located the search began for Planet X (a tenth planet, designated by the Roman numeral X.) Now that Pluto has been downgraded to a minor planet, they are back to looking for Planet 9.

Thank you for your input, Wayne. (I was hoping for more, though.)

Thank you for your input, Wayne.

You are welcome, Murph.

(I was hoping for more, though.)

The History Channel does that to people.

President Jimmy Carter saw at least one UFO.
He was also attacked by a rabbit.

Yes, but, you are a unique voice, here, and I look forward to your perspectives on all manner of subjects.
