I spent a large part of my childhood growing up in southern California, in a suburb of San Diego called Escondido.
Escondido is Spanish for 'hidden'(101).
Before I get into the meat of this post, I am going to first tell you that I KNOW what I have seen to be a factual account insofar as I am concerned. I know no one else can speak for me...but for the next 10 minutes or so, you'll have to believe me when I say the account described below is 100% accurate.
_________________________________________________________________
There is a public park near where I grew up called Kit Carson Park (guess who it was named after?). I remember going there often under the watchful eye of my mother when she could be arsed enough to pack up 'the boys' and take us there.
Anyway, I DISTINCTLY recall an experience during one such visit to Kit Carson park wherein I remember seeing something far off in the distance, in the sky, that looked like a huge cross with a circle in the center of it. I clearly remember thinking it was a big kite that a church was flying or something to that effect.
My (late) mother was there with me, and saw it too.
As is consistent with many other 'UFO reports', the object was gone just as soon as we were able to locate it in the sky. Once I pointed it out to my mom and as soon as she registered it, it became a greenish-white blur in the sky, and disappeared.
We discussed aliens and space wars and other such things after my mom and I saw this 'thing'. She considered reporting it but wasn't convinced the local authorities would believe her.
2 weeks later we had forgotten all about it. Well, for the most part at least.
This is until this morning.
You see, upon sitting down and preparing for the day's work today I came across the following news article:
http://www.mercurynews.com/centralcoast/ci_8712917
It includes pictures of a UFO and some controversial statements about where it came from and whether or not it's a hoax. Apparently this is a resurgence of information that originally surfaced about a year ago, but this is the first I had heard of it.
Folks, I tell you here and now, I saw this thing. Or, a carbon copy of it.
The way this object is captured in the news report photos immediately brings me back to that sunny day at Kit Carson park.
Some further research on this 'drone' reveals a host of other sources of sightings/encounters, which have all been conveniently compiled into a tidy little pdf that you can view for yourself here:
http://www.ufo-blog.com/pdf/drone_sightings_history.pdf
There have been some convincing findings that seem to paint the entire phenomenon as a hoax...but I am telling you that I have seen this fucking thing and my recollection of it is crystal clear.
This sort of find for me really does cement in my mind my belief that there is no way we are alone in the universe. I am 100% convinced that there is extraterrestrial life out there and, further, it is interested in us as a species and our development.
Obviously not interested enough to interact and communicate, but interested enough to at least pay a visit.
So Ubersite, do me (and yourself) a favor and look into this. Read about it and study the evidence. Hoax? Factual?
And then, if you are of those who simply will not be moved and who believe humans to be the only sentient beings in existence, please reply here with your reasoning.
I really would like to hear it.

just because you saw it doesn't mean it's from outer space. that being said, i doubt we're alone simply because it's a little voluntarily ignorant to be certain we are. and by 'a little' i mean you'd have to be an absolute moron

it hummed quietly, was pretty low to the ground (500 - 1000 feet) and traveled quite slowly... it had to had taken 4 minutes to clear the horizon... at least enough time for me to run to nat's house and drag him out to show him... nat saw it too

I would be much more likely to agree with the "IT'S A PHOTOSHOP" crowd, if it weren't for the fact that the same retards think MS Paint drawings are Photoshopped.
Still, there are some depth issues going on here. But if I Photoshop a picture of a shooting star, it doesn't mean they don't exist. It could be real, it could be fake. No sense in arguing, only speculating.

I'll give you my philosophical contribution on UFO's and you can take what you like from it:
Firstly, I think that given the size of the universe and our ability to discover worlds with similar characteristics as our own, merely in our own minute sliver of the Universe, then it is almost a given that not just some, but many forms of life exist elsewhere in the universe.
Secondly, I think that if you look at the history of human development you can see how our evolutionary advance was hindered by certain disasters and tricks of fate. If you couple that with the incredible rate of current technological advancement then you could perhaps hypothesise that there are other forms of life out there, forms that were NOT so hindered in their advancement, that are technologically far superior to us.
So, Aliens: Check
Advanced Aliens: Check
However, I am going to have to say I am not a believer in UFOs.
To back this belief I'm adopting the approach David Hume took in discounting the belief in miracles.
Hume's approach was, essentially, to look at what he called 'the contrariety of evidence'. That is, certain things pointing at one conclusion and certain things pointing at another.
He then took an experience based approach to determine which of two scenarios was more likely.
For us and UFOs, that experience based approach operates as follows:
An alien item of intelligent origin entering our atmosphere is an incident that has never conclusively been proven. Essentially, we can say that it has never happened FOR SURE. We have no experience of such an incident.
A person falsifying the existence of a UFO in a 'hoax' is an occurrence with provable incidences in our history. A large number of 'UFO sightings' have been proven to be hoaxes.
Now, if we call upon Hume's conclusion we must 'always reject the greater miracle'. To me it is FAR more likely that people have engineered UFO sightings than alien species have visited our planet, and i offer 2 reasons for this:
1. Firstly, let us look at the level of technological intricacy in the alien craft that have been photographed. Between the 'flying saucers' of the 1960's and the craft seen above there is a massive amount of difference. This is more consistent with hoaxers improving their techniques than alien craft themselves undergoing complete revisions of their design. I would draw a connection between this point and the intricacy of modern crop circles compared to old ones.
2. Secondly, the simple philosophical problems associated with a species that wishes to monitor the human race up close for mere seconds at a time and has an extreme reticence to be seen by the public but is willing to be seen by various individuals raises more questions than it answers, most of which are only answered by the evasive maxim 'aliens work in mysterious ways'

While I dont disagree with you in theory, claiming that it is a FACT is about as stupid as saying, "GOD EXISTS. I KNOW THAT TO BE A FACT BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DISPROVE IT." Saying that makes religious people sound like retards to those who aren't religious.
Saying it's a FACT that we're not alone in the universe is the same thing.
Sure, odds are that in the never-ending Universe with all the billions upon billions of stars, planets, solar systems, galaxys, etc. that we are most certainly not alone. You have to consider the fact that other life is out there. However, we have no proof as of yet that other life exists other than the speculation that other life HAS to exist due to the massiveness of Space. It's like saying that crazy deep see creatures HAVE to exist because there are so many areas of the deep ocean that have yet to be explored. There's life down there, but we just haven't seen it yet but believe it to be true due to other life we've found that's in other areas of the deep ocean. We're alive in the Universe so other life must exist somewhere in the Universe.
It's not a proven fact. It's a speculation that is probably true, but has yet to be certifiably true. So, I agree with you, but it's still not a "FACT."
As for the post, the first picture looks photoshopped. The white area's in and around the center circle thing are too bright when the rest of the bottom is in the shade. It looks like someone poorly cut it out of MSPaint and stuck it in the sky. It certainly would be awesome to KNOW that what you are seeing is real but people can make some pretty incredible hoaxes i.e. the youtube video of the spaceship over Haiti. Some guy made that with a CGI program on his computer. Looked real enough, but alas it was fake. Never under estimate the nerdiness of your average geek. I mean, crop circles are fake too, and for a while those were considered to be factual proof that aliens came to earth and made contact with some corn down south with the rednecks.
However, I've seen some weird shit in the sky as well. I've seen bright stars sitting there, then fall from the sky and be gone in seconds. I've seen bright, fiery-red colored objects soar across the sky during dusk and fall behind the tree lines. No one else saw these things, and there's no way to prove what I saw. It would be awesome to know if it was real or not.
Trying to wrap your mind around how big and never-ending the Universe is makes my head hurt. Stuff like that is so cool. One day we will make contact with other life. One day...

Pretty obvious that it's a photoshop, there is zero depth of field in these pictures and a regular camera would have cause all kinds of distortion in the forground if focusing on a flying object 50 feet or more away.
I also concur that the power line is blurry.
Doesn't mean that other life forms aren't out there, just that you didn't see one and these aren't them either.

Icarus:
If you look at the rest of the extent of that wire, you'll see that it's two-part: an anchor cable (typically braided steel) wound by a power or comm line.
That is what is to explain the 'smudging' you're calling it. That piece of line that looks off is just where there was a wind in the cabling resulting in APPARENT distortion.
...or at least, that's the first thing I thought when looking at it. And yea, my eyes did jump to that spot as a potential 'red' area but explaining it like I just did makes sense to me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! I see. Does this newfangled "braiding" technology you speak of also result in not only the distortion and opacity of the wire, but also smudge it across the only place it crosses the plastic alien tennis racket someone superimposed on the scene? That's rich.

People say that an advance civilization would have figured out a way to transverse vast distances quickly and so they've visited Earth. We just don't know about it.

---
Absolutely. With the amount of 'classified' and 'top secret' and 'NDA' type work that the military is involved in I would consider them rather clandestine. They are constantly developing cool new technologies all the time - this could very well be their anti-gravity experimental flag ship.
That said - COULD this be a space craft? Sure. I see no reason to dismiss that theory - it just seems more likely >TO ME< that it is the work of 'us' rather than 'them'.
Besides, if them alien-types are going to be that obvious about their observations of us - I would think 'first contact' would be a little more publicly reported.
Also, I don't know how 'colossal' that thing looks in those pictures and from where I sit those look like identification letters to me.

Maybe this particular alien was the Asian female of her species, and was adjusting her makeup whilst sending a text message when she bumped the spaceclutch and sent her ship plummeting into the only occupied planet in our solar system. Maybe she was going to land incognito and go to a Jimmy Buffet concert. Her ship was supposed to have a cloaking device. But it failed because aliens have crummy QA and get their parts from China. Then she crash landed in a desert (lucky it wasn't New York), and no one ever came to get her. Because her species wanted to keep their presence a secret. Or better yet, maybe the government is WORKING with their species to cover it all up -- keep it hush-hush. No disrespect, but you can invent backstories to make just about any theory seem plausible.
Humankind has always been seeing things; demons, sea monsters, dragons, ghosts, popobawa, and now that we have Star Trek and Dr Who aliens. I'm sure a few sightings here and there are legitamite, but the rest are likely bunk.

You're right, Brett. My bad. If you zoom in far enough on the 651X518 photo you provided you can clearly see that the letters that what APPEARS to be CVX are indeed a series of large, blotchy pixels which must certainly be the pictograms of a highly evolved 8-bit species. You can also see just where the photoshop guy smudged the power line across the port hull. You can actually see it pretty well with the naked eye too; see where it goes from a thick black line to a smudged greyish mess? I'd have assumed he would have just used to cloning tool, but who am I to criticize?

The tail end of the Starship Enterprise sticking out of Mars? Seriously, if you're bright enough to navigate galaxies, what are the chances that you're stupid enough to crash land on ANY planet, let alone the only habitable one for solar systems around.

hey, I never said I didn't think there was some form of intelligent life ~out there~, just that I don't think this is evidence of it.
I even have a pin: it says "I WANT TO BELIEVE", and it's got a UFO on it. a hobo gave it to me. s'true.

Icarus are you a fucking idiot?
ZOOM IN ON THE HI-RES SHOT, dumbshit. You'll see that they're symbols and hardly even resemble 'cvx'.

A. There's a species out there bright enough to navigate galaxies, but stupid enough to crash-land on the only habitable planet in our backwater solar system.

Exactly how would we know if they crashed on another planet?
These pix are too good to be true, but statisticaly speaking sooner or later someone with a decent camera would snap a picture.
I believe.

Naw, it says CVX. Pretty cool how they have the same phonetic alphabet we do, just like in all those sci fi movies. I hope they speak English, or at least come with subtitles.

Yes, a spaceship stretching a mile or so across floats above a city, and only about ten people see it.
Also, memories from childhood can be severely altered every time you remember them. What you might remember seeing vividly might have never been there in the first place or, as you said, just a kite that your childlike fantasy brought to life.

to assume we are the only life in the universe is statistically impossible (dont let and god fearing bible beater hear you say that). To quote screeching weasel "I believe in UFO's" and you sir are one.
Im not commenting on whether or not those pics are real.

Given the vastness of infinity, I'd say it's a given that there's life out there somewhere. I don't think anyone finds that hard to believe. What I DO find hard to believe is:
A. There's a species out there bright enough to navigate galaxies, but stupid enough to crash-land on the only habitable planet in our backwater solar system.
B. That Earth would be anything more than a footnote in some dry naturalist's journal for a species advanced enough to hop the requisite light years to get here. What exactly do they need that they couldn't either replicate themselves or get someplace local? An XBOX? Paris Hilton? Maybe a cord of wood for the steam engine that powers theiri warp core?

Aliens exist. TRUTH! It is ignorant to think otherwise.
Or arrogant. Out of ALL of space, that supposedly stretches forever...
There is NO LIFE OUT THERE!
WE ARE ALL THAT IS EVERYTHING.
Yeah right.

Actually, if you'll zoom in on the high res images, you'll see that they're not the letters 'CVX' you're reading.
They're ANCIENT ALIEN SYMBOLS.
Gosh.
Obvious.
Geez.

yeah, aliens from thousands of light years away use our alphabet? not just earth's alphabet, a small minority subset of the earth's lettering system.
odd that.

If it is real, they seem to be flying about giant Final Fantasy-type weaponry with the letters CVX on what I can only assume is meant to be the handle (second photo down).
