Hey Chris -- good to be reading you this morning. What's the transmission time from Europa? Venus?? Who needs coffee to get going when I read your posts? I think you answered the question why no UFOs are ever reported made out of fiberglass or plastic. Ever see one with a slideout? Nuh-uh! I'm camping right now and 5th wheels, trailers, popups and even pickup campers all have slideouts -- very down to earth place. Not scary at all.

I've seen three in the past five years. Not saying that they were "flying saucers", just very strange flying objects that I couldn't identify...

I think I saw you. They picked me up just before flying over the pond to buzz your neighborhood. I had Mrs. Hut use my metal detector to see if they implanted anything.

Hey, y'all, is it just me or did you ever wonder why these things are always seen at night? Bob, did you see your sightings at night? Really, like Chris said, why don't they just pop in for tea DURING THE DAYTIME, or in my case fresh-ground Colombian coffee? Then, we'll know for sure, though I guess that's the point!

There was a big ToDo a few months ago not far from here in Stephenville, Texas, with people seeing strange things zipping across the night sky! Yep, on the news and everything, but each video was not quite clear, as usual........

Nope, all of my sightings were during daylight hours. The most recent was just a few weeks ago.

Chris, I grew up watching Dr Who, and I still LOVE it!

As an amateur astronomer I've had the opportunity to turn my scope after some odd things I've seen in the daytime, and they've always turned out to be something quite normal - airplanes, balloons, stuff like that. At night I've never seen anything odd, even though I've certainly put in many many hours looking up. Funny you seldom see astronomers reporting UFOs even though they spend so much time outside looking at the sky.

U f o...

Dr. Who is jus BRILL... a little far fetched, but if someone can make up something like that 4a TV programme... whats 2 say it can't b done 4 real ?... I know radio signals & a BEATLE'S song is beamed in2 space in hope that Other life form will show it's self...lol... but I jus hope IF there is " OTHERS " out there...I think NOW would b a nice time 2 show Yourselves 2 the world...Mmm...What do U think ?..
I have a couple of scanners, a Realistic pro 63, which I use 4 My Aircraft scannin, & A Yupi 7100 all band scanner... well it's GOOD, LOL...I hear things all the time, I mean I was listenin to Microwave signals the other day...LMAO... no wonder My brain is cooked... But I never heard a little green man, tho I DID listen 2 the Shuttle Guys talkin on the International Space Station, last Year... when the tiles were being repaird, Man it was AWESOME... WOW...it was bein relayed by a local mast, & they were the Guys at Cali & Fla talkin as well... it was jus amazin... I get different TV companies & Radio from around the world, but how do I know if they are'nt ALIENS...LOL...
I've always fancied a telescope, but where I live in a cramped up neighbourhood, I probably end up bein lynched, or somethin & being accused of spyin on the Neighbors... NO WAY... I'll pass on that one.. but it must be very rewardin 4U... U must find a star & have it named after U, that would b real cooool...Chris.....

You one thing that amazes me is in all these sightings of UFO's no one seems to be able to take a good picture. They always seem to get pics of planes, stars, accidents, some cops beating up a slim bag, but never of a UFO.
As far as Canny picking up signals from the Space Station, not uncommon, hit the right frequency and then have the sun spots in the right aliegnment and you have it made. I would right down the frequencies cause you may want to listen in again, they generally stick with the same ones unless they need to say something they dont want the general public to hear then they go to a scrambled band. Of coarse understand that as the shuttle passes overhead you only have 30 min to 1 hour to hear them.
When you get them you can email them to me and I will program them into my ham radio as well.
