A Different Take On UFO's
Investigative Reporter Explains Why UFOs Could Be Top-Secret Laser Tech Designed to Confuse Our Military

"...a Wall Street Journal op-ed by legal analyst and investigative reporter Jeffrey Scott Shapiro theorizes those UFOs "maybe earthly -- and dangerous," created using laser-plasma technology."

Re: A Different Take On UFO's
I tend to disagree as i seen a UFO back in about 1968 and i doubt the gov. new that much then.
I think it`s demonic, that`s my story and i`m sticking to it, now could the evil people now have something to do with demonic activity yes i could believe that.

Re: A Different Take On UFO's
Well ... the news story was about the more recent spate of sightings .... and as we know, everything in the news is to be trusted.
Re: A Different Take On UFO's
Well yes the sighting will become more recent as we get closer to the Rapture to deceive people into thinking we have been removed by alians for the betterment of society.

There is proof all over the world of nonhuman advanced activity. Gen 1:26 and 2:7 are one form.

Re: A Different Take On UFO's
God is not a man.
Re: A Different Take On UFO's
Ya lost me on that one, God was man in the flesh in Jesus.
All i`m saying is we fight not against the flesh but principalities of the air that we are in a time of lies and deception and God is allowing man to be deceived.
Take the book of Job, Satan went to God and God told him he could do anything to him except kill him, God is in control of everything and if we are in the end times God will let man believe the lies.

Re: A Different Take On UFO's
Then there are clearly aliens who are not demons. Though we don’t know what is included in the definitions of demons. I assume not Elohim or Yahweh Elohim.

Re: A Different Take On UFO's
We seemed to see a lot of things in the sky in the 1960s then it seemed to taper off.
Now most people are not outside at night (or in the daylight for that matter) and we don't seem to see as many unexplained things in the sky.
These more recent sightings seem to be in closer proximity to military ships and installations, so I would not be surprised that there would be people who would set up such things to cause confusion.

Re: A Different Take On UFO's
it's an interesting perspective. BUT, isn't it a little peculiar to call the OWNER and CREATOR of LIFE and MATTER and LIVING SOULS an 'alien' ? YHWH claims ownership of every soul and all of the earth.Old Savage wrote: ↑Mon Aug 09, 2021 7:49 am Then there are clearly aliens who are not demons.

AND YHWH ELOHIM is not two beings, just one. as in "hear O Israel", etc.

Re: A Different Take On UFO's
Elohim is apparently both singular and plural like a last name. Let us make man in our image. YHWH Elohim appears to be a particular Elohim. YHWH speaks from the perspective of I … I am that I am. Or ? what I am.
Aliens used as here refers to non humans from the human perspective.

But this is still a semi free country. Anyone can take any perspective they want on the issue, not that I will give their view any credence if it does not take into account the observable facts.
Re: A Different Take On UFO's
appearances can fool us. that name is ascribed to God the Father in this instance, and consists of two words. and is descriptive and meaningful in it's context, which is exactly what the original hearers of the expression understood in the context of their time, place, and understanding.YHWH Elohim appears
what it appears to be or suggest or to express is meaningless to us unless we can relate our understanding to the original hearers in the original context.
otherwise, something can appear to be something to us COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTEXT.
for example, "Judas went out and hanged himself."
and "go thou and do likewise" are a good illustration of taking scripture out of context, and applying it's appearance, what it appears to mean, and completely missing the mark.

Re: A Different Take On UFO's
Are you working to take everything in a different context than I meant it? That is not at all what I meant nor does it address the point.

I try to understand the scripture you quoted in the context in which it was written, with the understanding of the people it was written to, without superimposing my contemporary context. IOW, what would Moses say about your proposition?
There are scriptures that more closely support what I think you meant. But anyway, let's kick this around in, say, a hundred years from now, OK?

Re: A Different Take On UFO's
I have watched that whole context canard be used be used to shape the meaning to shape the meaning to whatever the definer of the context wants. Just who gets to decide what the context it and who it was written to?
The point is YHWH is a being and not a man and extraterrestrial.

Re: A Different Take On UFO's
Cherry Picking lines of scripture to support a personal belief has probably started more conflict that any other thing.

Re: A Different Take On UFO's
My final reply to all this we look through a glass darkly, we don`t have a clue what has happened in the past or what will happen in the future.
Like Blaine said people read scripture to fit their needs and many are getting rich from it.
Best thing is to leave it in Gods hands trust Him he is in control good or bad and in the end if you believe in him it will be ok.

Back to this context interjection. Prophesy is not written to the people at the time and history is written for all. Those comprise a significant portion of the scriptures. Might throw in Psalms and Proverbs.

JimT, you know what, in spite of you certain religious guys going with all your could bes etc.
Maybe, just maybe, they are extraterrestrial UFOs.
The most constructive interpretative religious descriptions to make everything fit in to any denomination’s or adenomination’s interpretation disguised as humor .. some of the info doesn’t fit.
Or maybe they are terrestrial based for God knows how long.

Re: A Different Take On UFO's
well, i ain't religious. i am born again by a sovereign act of the sovereign creator who created all of us, and who offers all of us a choice of eternal future life as a free gift.
i don't promote any religion or denomination or cult or any other thing.
no religion, no denomination, no philosophy, no nothing can gainsay this offer because YHWH cannot lie.
i pass it on for the benefit of anyone who desires to get right with the savior who shed his blood and died for us.
this is not religious, this is acknowledgement and acceptance of Christ's offer. freely offered. nothing unidentified here. just simple binary absolute true truth.
that's all folks, and

Re: A Different Take On UFO's
I find the Bible has an important theme all the way through it. Who is the sovereign. Who should rule or govern man.
Life is created on earth..
Life is corrupted on earth and in heaven via a rebel. He questions or causes doubts about God's love or welfare towards his earthly sons.
Basically he lies about God.
Jehovah or Yahweh set in motion the means to answer the rebellion. Give all creation the choice to chose whom is the sovereign. Jehovah or the rebels, the one called Satan the devil. Who incidentally is misleading the whole inhabited earth. Revelations 12:7-10. 1stJohn 5:19. John 8:44
And finally the series of events that destroys the rebellion restoring peace and a return for the earth to its creators original purpose.
Revelations 21: 3&4.
More is easily found and explained at JW.org.
Enjoy.

A few years ago, a UFO was spotted near Waco, TX. Several credible witnesses saw it. One even got a picture of the stencil "not a step" on the craft. The Air Force still denies it was an experimental aircraft.

Re: A Different Take On UFO's
While I have no doubt there are aliens among us masquerading as Democrats trying to destroy our way of life, I have myself seen people hit the "Banana Rock" at Whittington Center which is about the size of a VW bug (but getting smaller every year) at 600 yards, off hand, one handed, in his first shot. I've also been told that a moderate length barrel is more suitable than a long barrel which requires much more hold over. I've also seen a good friend bust a fist sized rock at 100 yards with a 38 Special snubbie in Los Angeles. You don't know until you try! -Tutt

Re: A Different Take On UFO's
.
I had a friend about 10 years older than me who spent his teenage years shooting a hundred thousand rounds or so of 22 Long rifle standard velocity out of a little Ivers-Johnson revolver. He would have to ‘walk-in’ his shots, and do it on a calm day, but he would hit quart oil cans at 300 yards which was the length of the abandoned quarry he shot at. The only way to tell was with a spotting scope and setting them on a narrow strip of metal scrap where a hit would usually knock them off; sometimes he’d count hits as misses because it was easy to hit a can and not knock it off, but just make a hole in it.
I’ve actually never been able to hit anything with open sights where the target was smaller than the front sight. I don’t understand how people do that, whether with handgun or rifle. I don’t even understand how they can use low magnification scopes. If I can’t see it clearly, I’m not gonna be able to hit it, so I tend to use higher magnification scope than most people.

Doc, not sure here, but thinking 6 O'clock hold here is what is needed. A "center of mass" hold would not work at all. -TuttI’ve actually never been able to hit anything with open sights where the target was smaller than the front sight. I don’t understand how people do that, whether with handgun or rifle.

Re: A Different Take On UFO's
Wow ! What a thread drift......
Elusive siver disks piloted by anthropomorphic green bugs to a heroic tragically burned and disfigured rancher/guide/author who never let his disabilities slow him down. Read how his (keith's) parents mended his worthless crippled arm/hand with home surgery.
"My left hand was turned upside down and back on my wrist, just a claw extending from the top of my wrist....."
"Mother got a bunch of cotton batts and gauze and soaked them in deer tallow for bandages. Father bought a gallon of 100 proof."
"I told them to follow through no matter how I screamed.....I want this hand straightened whether it is usable or not......"
"I passed out from the pain and crackling noises as dad straightened the fingers by breaking them. When I came to, my hand was strapped to a board used to dry mink and muskrat pelts. If there was any pain that was worse than the morning after the fire then this was it. But the hand and arm were straight and I was mighty proud of it !"
