UFO SIGHTING IN PROGRESS!

[aldousburbank]

Sun down, back indoors now. Strange day. I'm likely to make a brief report here, when I'm not feeling like I couldn't go to bed fast enough. I'll double dip and use the same report to file with MUFON and other beleefers. I for one don't believe anything I saw today to be anything other than I don't know what I'm saying.  Wait...

I know that I don't know what I saw but I know that I don't know that I do.

Or, to quote Donald Rumsfeld from a NATO press conference:

"Now what is the message there? The message is that there are no "knowns." There are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we do not know we don't know. So when we do the best we can and we pull all this information together, and we then say well that's basically what we see as the situation, that is really only the known knowns and the known unknowns. And each year, we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns."

More like nipples. With ejecta. Wish I was kidding. 

Not areolas, auroras. This was in the Vegas area or northern Arizona?

[b_dubb]

any reports in local media where others saw what you describe? links?

Heh, NorCal. No local press that I've seen yet but I'm quite stupid now so will look tomorrow. Lots of townsfolks and about 15 people on our hill are a little weirded out tho.

Could... could it be angels?

[aldousburbank]

Locals saw one orb just like the 3 we saw, in town, about 20 miles away. Not a large population in our area no, but a quick glance at mufon.com showed something like what we saw in San Fran (about 2 hrs south) yesterday. I'll check the local news tomorrow but all that's pretty secondary compared to looking at really weird stuff through a scope for a few hours. Kinda cool, kinda eery.

WHERE ARE THE GODDAMN PICTURES YOU DIRTY HIPPIE WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING ALL THIS TIME

[TumbleWeed]

Didn't  you see some strange smoke circles or dot-dot-dash sky patterns while on a hike a few months back? Did you ever figure out what that was?

Chemtrails.  Had to be chemtrails.  That, or Flight 112 to Chicago.

[aldousburbank]

Yeh.
Hey just looked through some of the iPhone stills and I'm surprised by a few shots where I can see, at least, what I was trying to photograph. Not on laptop yet where hopefully will be better view. Typing this while avoiding my Bday party kinda. Just reviewed the phone vids where you can't see squat but the audio portion of the freekin hippies is highlarious.

Edit:
But there are some brief points in a couple of the telescope vids where you can see one of the orbs. I'll try to figure out how to capture some shots of this tomorrow. BTW, can I post an mpeg here?

**dies laughing**

Ok so 2 to 3 spheres in our sky still. On the celestron. Weird. Guess my birthday gift from the great WTF.

Is it your birthday? Happy Birthday!

Never figured that one out either though I got one PM from gabber who saw something very similar.

I look forward to the hippie audio.

Not sure about posting MPEGs. MV should know but you should be able to upload to YouTube. Ask Casio for some tips.

Thank you. Yeh, I don't do the Bday party thing but had a brew and blackberry cheescake with fam and neighbors that The Mrs made from scratch and berries she gathered and froze. The 23 year old boy bought me a nice guitar. We all saw weird stuff in the sky together today. Nice.

I might have guessed you were a scorpio.
Every Arizona scorpio I've ever met are coyote crazy, just like me!!
Happy Birthday brother!

[jazmunda]

Happy birthday my main man aldous.

Your posts always bring a smile to my face you funny bastard (that's an Aussie term of endearment and not a slur on your lineage).

[aldousburbank]

Just found this in the press. It's a pay site but I'll try and find more local coverage. BTW, the visual phenon we witnessed does not match this account:

Somehow I knew that Onan would come through with the missing piece to the puzzle.

Happy Bday AldousBeee! message coming soon...

[Treading Water]

Very Happy Birthday ab!!

Don't eat the brownies, man...Don't eat the brownies...

[eddie dean]

Did I miss the pictures?
Come on dude, you can't drop a UFO sighting bomb on us, then not post pics.
Did NASA "visit" you?
Did the men in black take your footage perhaps.
Have you checked your freezer lately? 

[aldousburbank]

Yes, uh, just came in exhausted. Really, tomorrow a day off. Will get the pic and vid and report together. Hippies have to work too.
