The SETI institute did not announce any spaceships and the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program cannot detect anything outside of the earths aurara. It is pure made up silliness.

I beg to differ. http://sg.yfittopostblog.com/2010/12/28/giant-spaceships-to-attack-earth-in-2012/
The news headline marks it under technology, hence the reason why I placed it under Technology.

Sorry, but TNS is not required to follow the classifications used by other web sites.

I think the recent bestseller by Leslie Kean brings great sobriety to this subject.

edit - The book title is "UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record". A most fascinating read. John Podesta, White House Chief of Staff to President Clinton and co-chair of President Obama's transition team, provides a foreword. Published by Crown, a division of Random House.

Before the extraterrestrial hypothesis can even begin to be approached scientifically, the formal scientific study of "the UFO phenomenon" is necessary.

From worldwide reports in her book by credible airline pilots, both military and commercial, and high ranking military personnel, including many generals, and government officials, British, American, and others, there is a basis for scientific study - with physical evidence such as ground markings, radar data, and photography.

But this fertile area for research is all held back due to the stigma associated with "UFO's" in the scientific community. Part of the stigma is deserved because of the mistaken assumption that UFOs are, by definition, extraterrestrial spacecraft.

That extraterrestrial-based correlation has not been proven in any believable manner. Yet.

But the evidence does seem clear that it is worthwhile studying scientifically globally-repeated flying patterns of objects that seemingly defy laws of physics, such as silent hovering, and rapid acceleration.

Once that has begun, then and only then, can the  extraterrestrial hypothesis begin to be explored, as one possible explanation.

Until recently, there was a UFO hotline you could call in the UK - I think it was manned by the RAF. I think they have records going back for about fifty years.

I'm not exactly sure why they gave it up, although I do have some suspicions.

[demografx]

I'd love to know your suspicions.

Perhaps at another time. 'tis the season to enjoy our fruitcakes, and big jars of nuts from Costco.

Speaking of fruitcakes, Hi all, I'm back!

Hi Don! HNY!!!! []

[demografx]

Big jars of nuts?

Fruitcakes?

Hmm.

Well, I can say one thing for certain: we're all here because...we're not all there!!!

So was it a TRUE or FALSE alarm?
