The British rag 'The Sun' have been going into a UFO story frenzy this week. (Perhaps it's a bad news week)
For some reason, they have got obsessed with a handful of incidents in Shropshire and Wales see here
Another story by the BBC casts doubts on one of these stories here
Anyone wanna tell us of any UFO experiences they've had, or if they've been abducted and rectally probed etc. (No Jeff, please NO, don't even tell us)
i was abducted by jeff two weeks ago. he made whoopi with my cushion. i now have emotional crabs. watch out.
The aliens have never abducted me, the bastards! The either don't like me or don't exist. Or I don't exist.
Apparently, there has always been stories about demons, witches, gods, fairies, whatever... abducting people and doing weird somewhat sexual things to their victims such as penetrations, impregnations, other perverted going ons... the alien version has only become common in the last half century.
so is this proof that these aliens have been doing this shit for thousands of years? or proof that humans have been making up these weird stories for thousands of years? the later I would think.
And what about the crop circles in England? Is that shit still going on? Oe has that fad gone away?

The guys responsible for it finally owned up, sold their story, made some cash. A number of them were from my university department, and kinda let it slip occasionally over a beer or two, before mysteriously leaving the pub early. I remember driving up to Stonehenge on a Sunday once about 1991, and seeing a new one, to which the farmer was charging admission for photographs. One of my passengers was particularly cross, as he hadnt made any cash out of it.

Quite possibly. The problem is, there is no inter-departmental communication, as most of these reports are coming from the British Army.
The question is that if aliens did land in Shropshire, would anyone even notice them amongst the locals? 
:p

You'll be hunted in Telford.
fat bushy lads that look like toads who rolled around in neon shit, using old washboards and farm equipment to flatten hay and grass out in the middle of nowhere. drunk as fuck, falling down rolling everywhere. thats why some of the crop circles look like something bush sat on with his balloon ass and it exploded.
i'm waiting for a reply from jeff to this thread. i want to be spanked verbally by another gay man.
More needs to be done to look into UFO sightings.
I highly doubt there's too many of them will turn out to be aliens, but it'd be fuckin good to know what they ARE. An example is the idea that rocks under pressure can create balls of light nearby, which could be useful for Earthquake prediction.
My two pet hates in UFO terms are... "they looked a bit like us" (so retarded). And "the US have a UFO in a hanger".....Ok so they know what it is, and it's on the ground, in what way does that make it an UNidentified FLYING object. Morons.
I would say, that out of all the UFO's ever seen, there's maybe been 1 or 2 that were probes from beyond the Solar system. Even if (ignoring TARDISes) interstellar flight is prohibitively slow for lifeforms, devices have no such problems. In a few tens of thousands of years, our own probes will reach other stars....and that's assuming more modern ones don't go zooming past them. But the other side of that it...........you live in the middle spiral arm of the galaxy....you have a budget for one interstellar mission.....do you launch the craft in towards the galactic core where stars are close, and get closer together the nearer the centre, a matter of light weeks in some cases......or do you launch it into the deserted outer areas where stars are lots of lightyears apart....looked at that way, we're unlikely to get too many visitors even though the galaxy is probably teeming with life.
I'm going to Wales end of July. If you never hear of me again, please call the alien experts to rescue me.

No it doesn't.
Drunk people and liars.
No it wouldn't.
Hope this helps

No, really, rocks under pressure have been found to emit light. Look it up foolish one.
I knew there was something behind those stories, I just somehow dont believe in UFOs...............................................................
despite me being raped by an alien

More properly its quartz under pressure that emits light, but the light is in the rock itself. The way the quartz crystal is constructed, under pressure in the right direction, an electron follows down the spiral staircase of the structure to the bottom which emits light. Since the pressure HAS to be in a specific direction on the crystal structure, it is hard to do normally and would only happen in specific rocks to emit alot of light... most likely quartzite (quartz rich sandstone).
Not quite sure what you mean by 'balls of light' though. It may make the ground glow, but it would be momentarily and inside the rock itelf, so nothing would be floating in the air or anything. Yer not thinking about the gas emitted from bogs are you? They are suppose to do the balls of light thing...
I've seen footage of a lab experiment on an ickle bit of rock, must say it wasn't overwhelmingly convincing. Howeer, there are, apparently, oftern large bouts of UFO sightings in areas of techtonic activity, in the days and weeks leading up to a tremor. This light, apprently manifests at-a-distance, I would assume though that is's related to the piezzo electric effect.
That is what I am talking about as well. While other crystal structures can emit light, none can do it as effectively or noticably as quartz. But again, this light is within the rock itself, which might explain what you are refering to (being seen from a distance). But the crystal will only emit light as long as the electron is traveling down the cystal lattice, which is momentary... it won't glow for long periods of time.
What's the point in trying to get light out of rocks?
Why not get a lamp or set fire to something.
Honestly, some people insist on making everything difficult don't they.
Me and Han Solo hung out with Chewbacca last week...
now that sounds pretty fucking gay...doesn't it???

It does, believe me, did he give you a right old wookie?

Hey NOW! How many other times can I really use my geology degree, other than to explain points like this?
Well, Biggie, aside from the fact there's already fuck knows how many things at biggie towers that use these effects....I was talking about it's use in Earthquake prediction, which IS, I would contend, a fairly useful thing to look into.
Edel, the thing is, the realy interesting bit, is that we're talking about balls of light appearing dicsonnected from the rocks, like up in the air! Obviously action at a distance is impossible, so there must be some quirky EM field involved.
The documentary I saw this on was a fairly sensible one, hoever the experiment which "demonstrated" this phenomenon, shows what looked less like a small ball of light, and more like a hot fragment of rock being ejected from the crush...but the chap was a proper and well published scientist I belive (if that counts for SHIT these days with so many scientists acting worse than religious fundies). Come to think of it the Doco may actually have been about Ball lightning, and sort of wandered into UFO's via this rock business.....or it may not, the rock thing is basically the only bit of it that was new to me, and therfore the only bit I filed.
When all else fails, youtube probably has something to demonstrate, though it is poor quality...
Notice with this crystal the direction he is scraping, quartz HAS to be scraped along the a2 axis, any other direction it does not light up. Quartzite works better, as the small sand particles of quartz cryastals are rearranged haphazardly, with more of a chance to light up in any dircetion scraped... have good specimens at home... cool thing is to let the kids do it, as it even works underwater.

Yay! We've finally found a use for EdelBrock :D
Now, where can I find a lump of quartz that big?
I grew up in Market Drayton where the main sightings were. The recreational drug of choice when I was a youth was fistfuls of Temazepam. They were cheap and plentiful. I doubt much has changed.....
