life mysteries UFO's, bigfoot,& loch ness monster

[MR. Gibson]

This might of been mentioned before on this site but what does everyone think about life's mysterious like: UFO"S, BIGFOOT and LOCH NESS MONSTER? do you think any of these things exist.? I personally think there are UFO's but they are mostly military testing flying objects. I do think some of them may be alien though. I think bigfoot exist because their are too many sightings of these type creatures in the american wilderness. plus I think their is a creature in loch ness too in scotland. I think it may be an old dinasaur called the "Pleasaurus' a brontosaurus like dinosaur with flippers. what do you fellow literotica authors think? sorry if this question was mentioned before I am pretty new here!

UFOs - I have a customer who is a UFO expert. He examines all UK sightings and hasn't found one yet that couldn't have a normal explanation. That makes him unpopular with those who have made a career of lecturing and writing books about UFOs.

Big-Foot - I have a book in my shop about this. The pictures and film are unconvincing but who am I to say?

Loch Ness monster - the local tourist board love it but nothing yet has been found despite extensive searches.

There are enough unusual things in the world without worrying about things that might or might not exist. I like the coelocanth.

There are many species in Australia that have not yet been classified. There are parts of Australia that have never been surveyed. Those interest me more than possible oddities.

While i believe it's possible (likely, even) that there's life on other worlds, i wouldn't believe most (if any) of the reported UFO sightings are true.

As for Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster? Nope.

UFOs..........yep! there something there, there! Throw out all the thousands of obvious and less than obvious but still fruitcake claims and you still have enough truly unexplainable sightings--maybe only a handful--to stay engaged in the wonderment of just "what's really out there". I watch the sky.

Big Foot??........well it was in the news just last week that the Japanese had just discovered a new species of whale......not long ago, a new species of squid (giant squid, I believe) was discovered. Big Foot? Nessie"?....who knows? Lots of hiding places in this big ole world after all.

But not in Loch Ness which isn't very big.

I believe in possibilities. When it comes to UFO's especially. We don't even know the extent of our own planet. It would seem stupidly arrogant to declare the nonexistence of something we couldn't possibly know. Now, are all the sightings real? No, of course not. But there are a lot of reported sightings from very credible and knowledgeable people.

I have no ideas about Bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster. I'll just say again, we don't know the extent of our own planet, so who knows?

 

[cookiejar]

Here in New York State we have "Champ"... the American equivalent of "Nessie." There is a board up with the sightings, I'm not sure about his existence, but Lake Champlain is huge. There was a documentary about him a few months ago on Discovery.

I am certainly not going to say that none of these things exist but I am also not convinced that they do. Although "Logical explanations" for UFO sightings may have been made, these explanatins may not necessarily be correct. There might be bigfoots (bigfeet?) living in the American northwest but I have my doubts because no remains have ever been found. I think Nessie was somebody's imagination running wild, or maybe a deliberate hoax, and it has been encouraged by the local tourist board. I think "Champ" is strictly a gimmick by the local chamber of commerce. Although the lake is very big, (huge is an overstatement) its shores are heavily populated and the reported "sightings" just started very recently. This one I consider to be a hoax.

That is strictly my opinion. All these things might actually exist,

Lake Champlain is over 100 miles long and sightings of "Champ" were reported in the early 1800's. I'm not saying he exists...

 

[Sabledrake]

About UFOs ... I've always found it amusing that more people believe in the likelihood of the government cover-up of UFOs than actually profess a belief in the UFOs themselves

Me, I believe that there must be life on other worlds. Whether any of it has visited or tried to contact us, well, about that I wonder.

As for Bigfoot and Nessie, hey, nature's still a pretty big and unexplored place. New species (and surviving old ones) are discovered all the time. It certainly wouldn't surprise me if such creatures were out there.

Lake Champlain has an area of 431 square miles, compared to Lake Ontario, which is the smallest of the Great Lakes and has an area of 7,340 square miles. It is a big lake but not a huge one. Although over 100 miles long, it is very narrow, and at most places a person can stand on one shore and see the opposite shore. If there were a viable population of large animals in the lake they would have been well-documented long ago. How about Supey - a large animal in Lake Superior. I have never actually heard of such a thing but it would be more realistic.

Again, that is just my opinion.

 

[Lorindellia]

Frankly I believe that we are full of ourselves to think that in all the galaxies, and all those unexplored regions of space, that we are the only intelligent creatures - and that this is the only life bearing planet.

Do I think we are being visited by ailens?

Maybe we are being visited by ourselves from the future.

"Life finds a way."

My thoughts and a photo of a Ghost

 

[dickE]

Re: My thoughts and a photo of a Ghost

Lockness, Bigfoot? Probably not.

On the other hand, scientists in the late 19th century pooh-pahed sightings of a man-like creature in Africa even when they received the skeleton of one of the creatures. Ultimately, they discovered the Mountain Gorilla.

If I had to choose one man-like creature story as the most likely to exist, I'd chose Yeti. There is a long belief in that creature, and a heck of a lot unxplored region up in the Himalayas.

UFO's

I'd love to believe we have a galactic older brother that would come to earth and tell us we're doing fine, and give us valuable gifts of technology, medicine and world peace, but alas, Aliens are the adult Santa Claus. Apparently in some European countries

Is there other intelligent life out there? Yes, I believe it would be arrogant to think otherwise. Is it common? No. Consider the amazing set of conditions that had to come together for intelligence to develop on this planet. Just the right amount of water, air, filtering from radiation, gravity, formation of supporting life (i.e. food), heat, etc. It all seems like narrow bands all overlapping, and in that overlap, man could evolve.

Will Aliens and man interact? Have they already?

Again, it is would take a large set of conditions that only exist briefly and all have to overlap for contact to occur. The alien race would need the ability for interstellar travel. They'd need the economy to fund it, the desire to explore, and political will to travel. They'd have to come to this specific place in space. They have to come in a period of time when we could understand what they are, where they are from, and be able to figure out with them how to communicate (if we have that ability now, we have only had it for a few decades). The conditions on our planet would have to be close to the conditions on their's so they could survive here to interact with us. And if they landed just once, one of us would have to be at the precise spot at that precise time.

Let's say that years ago, two people were picked at random from a list of the world's people; a person from London and a person from a small town in Patagonia. We don't tell those people they've been chosen or what the expectation is of them, but we wait to see if exactly 24 years, three months, four days, six hours, and three minutes later, they meet each other at a specific square foot in the Gobi Desert. For us to meet up with an Alien visitor is probably less likely than that.

Government Conspiracy?

Again, I'd love to believe aliens exist, and I think there are reasons governments would keep contacts secret.

I believed in this more before I entered the work place. Then I discovered that educated, honest people, working earnestly couldn't usually meet their common goals with consistency. Could a group of people attain a dishonest goal and maintain the secrecy for a long period? If there is a conspiracy, I want to know its management secrets to apply to profitable endeavors.

No one's mentioned ghosts? And just today from CNN.

My 2 cents.

That's a whole dollar!

lorindellia you have to stop teasing me with that picture near your name. we are trying to talk about lifes mysteries here!

[pop_54]

Hmmmm

Nessy, no way, it would have been found by now, lovely little myth though. Sea monsters, oh yes, no problem there, much bigger area for them to swim about unseen.

Bigfoot, Hmm why not, but not the creature of the films, some mutation of another species about out in the woods, quite possible, but not the super intelligent creature that's clever enough to keep hiding from man, seven feet tall and walks about upright.

UFO's anything in the air you can't identify immediately is an 'unidentified flying object' surely to freek.

Life on other planets, maybe, also maybe not, the chemistry involved and conditions required to form organic life are so far out that it is just possible we're alone in the universe. According to some we're a freak of the nature of the universe, we happened by pure accidental chance.

Visitors from space, maybe, but unlikely, if there were other life forms clever enough to fly many light years across the universe I don't think they'd be content with dropping in every so often to pick up a farmer's wife or two for experimentation. We'd be bombarded with tourists from outer space, they'd have brought up all the spare property for holiday homes by now.

How about time travel, a possibility, not in the way Wells and Verne saw it, no way is it possible to travel back and forward through time, it is just possible to travel forward in time, but you wouldn't be coming back, not to the same time as you left, only to the one you landed in.

Time travel back through time will never be invented, otherwise it would have always been with us, think about it.

 

[gauchecritic]

I want all those things to exist.
Ghosts don't. No matter how many people see them or report them, they are purely psychological phenomena. They don't exist. (actually, philosophically speaking they are as real as anything you can see around you, to those who see them)

What is so arrogant about thinking a unique set of circumstances existed in which animal life clings to only one planet in the universe?

The odds are apparently completely against it happening even once.

Having said that if it happened once...

But we are in the outer spiral arm and therefore cooler and older than most of this galaxy so this reduces the next odds... whatever.

Edited to add Time travel back through time will never be invented, otherwise it would have always been with us, think about it. It is dad, we just haven't told you about it.

And we have the Ogopogo in Okanagan Lake which is situated in the enviously warm region of the Okanagan Valley. I wish I was there. It's too cold here. I'm getting tired of this cold already.

Apparently ghosts are most likely caused by subaural frequencies that happen to resonate often in old structures, thunderstorms and on old ships... anything that creaks or booms.

 

[Uther_Pendragon]

Life is full of mysteries, but the listed ones aren't
terribly mysterious. Big Foot? Didn't the family of the
guy who faked it just announce that he'd done so.
Alien space ships flitting around our skies for decades?
there are easier explanations of the phenomena.
Nessie? That's a small body of water to hide such a big
creature from so much searching. (What's the minimum
number for a species to survive for generations?)

Copyright on ghost, what? My brother sent me this info some years ago from Vienna, here's a web citing.

- Perdita (who also does not believe in ghosts)
-------------
VIENNA -- A medium and author has won the sole right to "contact" a 30,000-year-old spirit.

Judy Z. Knight, an American, claims to have close spiritual ties with Ramtha, who she says has relayed messages to her since 1978.

But in September 1992, she claims, her psychic channel became ''disturbed'' by Judith Ravell of Berlin, who says she started contacting Ramtha about that time.

The legal battle has been dragged through Austria's courts for three years.

The country's supreme court has awarded copyright to Knight and ordered Ravell to drop her claim to be in contact with Ramtha. Ravell has held several seminars and festivals in Salzburg at which she has passed on what she claims to be the spirit's messages.

Ramtha, said to be the leader of the sunken continent of Atlantis, is much sought after in esoteric circles in Europe and the United States. Knight secured her U.S. copyright in the late 1970s after claiming that he told her she was the only medium with right of access to him.

The court told Ravell that her psychic interruption over the past five years had left Knight "hanging in spiritual limbo," and it ordered Ravell to pay $800 in damages. Knight's lawyers are looking for thousands more. Ramtha was unavailable for comment.
