      I did see a UFO a few years ago while walking down my road in the middle of a sunny day, don't know what made me look up because there was no sound.
      It was a pure white orb of some kind that moved steadily across the sky, can't say exactly how big it was or how high up it was, but at the time
      I thought it to be rather large and quite aways up there, many thousands of feet I'd imagine.

      A strange feeling fell over me that day and still lingers, things just seem a bit different somehow.

      Jim.

        You've been scanned into their data base Jim.......they'll prolly come knockin' some time in the future! :tongue-out3: :thumb2:

          Don't know why I never mentioned it before, one can see all the blather and "footage" concerning UFOs and go hmmmmm:thinking:
          But when you actually see something that your brain cannot compute.....well that's a whole nuther kettle o fish.

          It really bothers me that I just don't know what the f**** it was!
          Another thing that wrings my mind is ancient megalithic structures, true impossibilities for loin cloth wearing primitives.
          Check out some YOUTUBE vidios on the subject also check out Aswan and Belbac quarries also Dolmans.
          Even more unbelievable discoveries made in Canada and Russia, ancient walls with pefectly cut and fitted stone blocks
          weighing many hundreds and some thousands of tons.

          How did "they" cut them? transport them and lift and set them perfectly in place?
          Check out "polygonal jointing" of truly massive stones especially in ancient Egyptian ruins.
          India is rich in these ruins as is South America, China, Japan, the South Pacific islands....this phenomenon is world wide
          and was in a past era before any ape descended a tree and tried to stand on two legs for the first time.

          "They" were here, built unbelievable structures and cultures with certain highly advanced technologies and then were gone
          With only their most durable of their creations surviving above ground level today.


          Oh and by the way, we did NOT evolve from "apes" . Ape means to copy...to copy what? Man.
          All one has to do is study the foot bone structures of Neanderthals and all before them and Homo sapiens (us)
          No match I'm afraid, and no evolutionary link has ever been found, hence, the notorious "missing link":thinking:

          Just sayin,
          Jim.

            Very interesting subject Jim.

            Chimpanzees are still our closest living animal relatives, sharing around 99% of DNA with us. The problem with the “missing link” fossil is that it evolved in Africa, same as the rest of the primate family tree. The acidic soils prevalent at the time make fossil records very rare, acid obviously dissolving bone.

            However, researchers have now found fossil records back to the period around the time the primate and hominid lines diverged. Current studies, over many scientific disciplines, postulate that Chimpanzees etc actually diverged from the hominid line and then developed their particular ape characteristics. In effect, they evolved from us, not the other way around. Mind you, some of the people I’ve met over the years show me they did not have far to go

            An interesting side to this research is that according to current thinking our larger brain developed from our ability to walk upright. The train of thought is this.
            The ability to walk upright freed the hands from the necessity of weight bearing, so enabled the development of the opposing thumb.
            Once we had the thumb we could carry out more sophisticated manipulations with the hands, and this in turn drove the development of the brain.

            All fascinating stuff to me. Can’t answer the masonry question though, despite living a few miles from Stonehenge virtually all my life……

              From massive ancient architecture to this?.........gentlemen, you digress. How 'bout those GIANT, MASSIVE human skeletons they are unearthing all over the place? Or the skulls that look like a torpedo in the back? Me thinks there is a lot more that we don't know about life on earth that has been kept from us or lost to time......Theories abound.

                So going back to the OP it does look like a speck of dust, but if the all other pictures don't show it, the most like candidates are a fly or similar, or a seed pod or something. Honestly more likely than a UFO (although if you can't identify said fly or pod, it technically IS a UFO!?). Anyway, just my two cents...

                  ... With the risk of being ridiculed,I think it's a cracking series...

                    I've not heard that theory, but it is interesting.
                    I have heard a theory that we evolved over time from eating cooked food, meats etc. as we gain more calories from them. Originally this could have been from forest fires and so on, but eventually we mastered fire, and thus began to evolve. Cooked food provides more energy, hence allowing the capacity to use time in other ways than hunting.
                    There are some good vids on Youtube about it all. Fascinating stuff.
                    From forest fire food to model making in a few hundred thousand years!

                      I keep an open mind about it all, and don't rule anything out. There is the Fermi paradox, but who's to say we haven't been visited many many times already. And as someone somewhere once said (I can't remember who/where the quote is from) if we are alone in the universe, it's an awful waste of space!
                      Latest studies show some 300,000,000 possible life bearing "Earth like" worlds in the galaxy we inhabit, let alone the rest...

                        There has to be something out there. What exactly I don't know. But space is to big for us to be alone. And we are not even intelligent we have spent all of our history trying to kill each other.

                            Oh so true! Imagine how much more we could if we all worked together, instead of killing each other for greed, or some other stupid reason.
