Mexican UFO's

This video is something to ponder.

The first thing to realize is what UFO means and doesn't mean. UFO is
shorthand for Unidentified Flying Object. What this means is anything that
is in the air, including sticks, balloons, rubbish and other such things.
If you don't know what it is, then it is indeed a UFO.
What a UFO isn't is an alien craft flying about in the sky., There are too
many people around with cameras of different kinds to really have a real
alien craft fly around any populated area without many photos of it being
taken. For example, look at how fast pictures of the first plane that hit
the Trade Towers got taken. Imagine an alien craft flying about for a few
minutes and you'll know about how many photos should have been taken of it.
Besides, if you did know that it was an alien craft then it isn't a UFO by
definition!

I saw a UFO recently. It was weird, a sort of undulating glowing shape
drifting aimlessly in the sky. It looked like some sort of space
dragon, flying around. What I suspect is that it was a clump of
toy balloons drifting around. Although it seemed to be glowing - but
I don't have much real experience with how bright things look that
are only a few hundred feet up, and illuminated by the city lights,
so that's hard to judge. It could also have been a very thin sheet of
plastic, although it didn't really seem windy enough. Or it could
have been a space dragon. I'll never know - I went for the binoculars,
came back, and it was gone.

Let's be fair. An alien technology that could reach us through great
distances of space (or time) could easily hide from us. You don't even
have to make up magic star-trek style technology. All they'd have to
do is look like an aircraft. And if you extrapolate our own spy
technology, it would be pretty trivial to figure out by simple
inspection if there were any eyeballs, cameras, or telescopes on the
ground below that had you in sight. As long as there are, you just
don't do anything weird. When no one's looking, ZOOM! Of course, this
still makes it pretty unlikely that anyone's ever really seen such an
alien craft.

Why do penguins walk so far to get to their nesting grounds?

Because they can't fly.

If such an alien spacecraft could hide from us, it is doing it all across
the electromagnetic spectrum. Neat achievement if you can do it but why
bother? Look at what we can do from 200 miles up with our small telescopes
so why bother to come down into the gravity well and risk all kinds of
troubles? It isn't like the radio and television signals are only on the
earth's surface anyway.

No, I said it could easily pretend to be an airplane and "hide" by only
doing funny things when no one is looking. I like the idea because it
relies only on current technology, not technology that seems like
magic to us.

Good point, as far as it goes. But, suppose it was us - would we be
content to watch from 200 miles up? We would want to be down where the
action is, so that we could disect the cows with lasers (just kidding
on that last bit). We could be surrounded by nanotech bots right now
watching our every move.

But this just further underscores the absurdity of alien space craft
being seen in our skies. As if aliens are just a bunch of drunk
teenagers, out for a joyride. Although (to devils-advocate my own
devil's advocacy) I suppose when it comes to aliens, you can't really
presume anything.

Hopefully I'm not too close to the mark. Don't want the MIB showing
up at my door and rearranging the gray matter, like they did to
Einstein (just kidding, again).

It's an alien ploy to keep us distracted.

OK, this is getting beyond silly. I'm out.

BTW, I'm not talking about fradulent photos when I made that definition.
Those are alltogether different as the author of the photo definitely knew
what the object was.

So..did you look at the video? You never said.

Why bother? I've seen more than enough fradulent or otherwise ignorant
photos and films that this is just one more. As another p;oster just said,
it looks like those "objects" are nothing more than some flames in the
distance.
BTW, go look at the technology of inserting things into a photo and tell me
that you can't do a decent alien spacecraft into a photo!
