Traveling To Infinity:

If you're in a cozy spacecraft,
traveling at the speed of light,
on your way to find infinity,
hang in there just sit tight.

You'll know it when you get there,
turn left and then turn right,
another trillion light-years,
hang in there just sit tight.

You've got your protein snacks, and tangerines,
soy dogs, almonds, and this and that,
you've got some books and magazines,
even your sister's cat.

So full speed ahead to infinity,
it's somewhere 'round the bend,
it could be in this vicinity,
good luck, Godspeed my friend.

Good poem, VillagesPL. Just hope they do not run into an Alien like those from the Alien movies. I'd would think that if there is life on other plants much of it will resemble the creatures that lived on earth 500 million years ago.

UFO Amnesty: Ex-Army Colonel John Alexander Seeks Amnesty For Military Who Witness UFOs [EXCLUSIVE]

"'The reason is because we all had very high-level security clearances,' he said. 'Just the mention of seeing something that you didn't know or you thought might be a UFO would be enough for a visit with the flight surgeon, if not the psychiatric staff at the base hospital.



'And that would be reason to pull your security clearance, at least temporarily, which means that you wouldn't be flying and that would be a black mark on an aviator's record. Seeing a UFO show up on your base could be perceived as [your] being unstable. At least as far as retribution or career penalties, if things could be lifted or suspended, that would probably help the process.'"

From above linked Amnesty article on UFO sightings by the military.

Earth would just be too violent and dirty a place to stay for a peaceful species from outer space.

My husband , who always was the biggest skeptic re U.F.O.'s or anything that he couldn't see, touch, taste.......in other words, anything unworldly at all HE DID NOT BELIEVE IN...........whereas I did.

Until.......one day in the winter, not too long ago, on his birthday as a matter of fact, he was driving down to a neighbor's home to deliver a college recommendation letter for our friend's daughter.......he had the window open, even though it was winter, as he was smoking in the car.

TOTALLY SILENT..........(so not a helicopter), a HUGE CIRCULAR DISK
CAME ABOVE THE CAR.........HARD TO TELL IN THE EVENING LIGHT, BUT HE WOULD ESTIMATE 300 OR 400 FEET UP ABOVE HIM.........he immediately pulled the car over to the right, looked out his left driver's side window and watched this circular object moving slowly to the northwest. He was aware of two things........number one there was absolutely no sound coming from it.....and number two, there were four lights coming down from it........twelve o clock, three o clock, six o clock and nine o clock positions.........but what mostly disturbed him was for such a large object to be absolutely quiet as it was moving through the air..............he knows what an airplane or helicopter would sound like.
This object was SILENT..........and he was not drinking nor doing drugs.
In about 20 seconds it slowly moved off into the distance. The lights were white. He would estimate it to be somewhere between 200 and 300 feet in diameter.......just guessing. It was large.

He became a believer.

A few weeks later, a local carpenter told him he had been coming into town from a different direction and about the same night, saw an object zoom off into the distance. When comparing notes, it seemed to be one and the same. A local florist said she would see similar objects going towards the hospital. Meaning "over the mountain". Back in the 1970's, priests, teachers, realtors, etc. and others in town saw hovering blue lights..........above our town, not moving, just hovering.............then would zoom off.

That's a good narration. I would think that if there is intelligent life somewhere close to us in space, they would want to keep an eye on us so to speak but probably not want to give us any advanced technology.

Well, I believed him. Knowing him as I do, and knowing what a total skeptic he always was........a true "doubting Thomas", he was so freaked out by what he saw, it had to be something........and again, I've always believed in U.F.O.'s..........not necessarily all sightings are true, but I do think there has to be life elsewhere.

My friend, to whose house he was delivering the typed letter, said she'd never seen him so jittery and shaken. It really impressed him.

I used to think they would be highly spiritual / intelligent, etc. but the past few years or so I've thought "What if they are predators and looking for a new food source". Yikes.

Anyway, at the same time this "sighting" occurred, we were having our home vinyl sided........the next day I told the 3 workmen. Well, they thought it was hilarious......and said it had to be a glider. A glider in January in the dark of evening????? That big?

He said it was NOT a glider. This was after suppertime.....so 6:30 p.m. and dark out....in the winter.

Anyway, I think I was the only one who believed him. If anything, he got a dose of how he used to react to other people's recountings of odd circumstances.

Why it disturbed my husband was that it had no normal sound of any aircraft that he had ever seen.....no jet engine sound, no piston engine sound, no sound of a helicopter blades beating into the air.....

For an object as large as what he saw to be absolutely SILENT dumbfounded him. It sounds similar to your sighting.

I always wanted him to post it on M.U.F.O.N. or something like that, but he never did.

He did call our local police........they probably thought he was nuts.
He called the Plattsburgh Air Force Base........same deal.

He thought it might be something from our government but we don't live near a government facility. It was if he was seeing something that he should not be seeing.

Awhile later, at a funeral, we were in the presence of two Air Force guys, one a general at the Pentagon and the other a Colonel , both in the Air Force........brothers in law actually. I asked them about Project Blue Book, etc. and told them our "story". They just "smiled" as they knowingly looked at each other and at one of the officer's sons who was also in the Air Force, a Captain. He was more willing to talk about Project Blue Book than his dad, the General or his Uncle, the Colonel.

The older guys were not going to discuss anything, even though they were family friends. The young son was very much interested. He later left* the Air Force to fly passenger jets out of Colorado. Went from active duty to reserves. The grandson of a dear friend of ours.

Anyway, we believe you.
