You have made many of these "I've seen this and that" type comments in your half a dozen posts here, yet when asked to substantiate your opinions, you "play" at being insulted and hurt, and end up by not presenting any evidence for those claims.

One of the major rules of this board is simply to be "polite", and I find your behavior is anything but.

I'm putting you on "ignore" so I don't have to read any more of your junk.

Question UFOs

Hi,

To begin clearly: I don't think Earth is visited by alien life. It's too impractical to be mysterious when you got here. However, as a kid, I remember reading RAF pilot accounts of strange balls of light that followed planes, were picked up on radars at base, and were labelled as unidentifed flying objects (I think they were called 'foo fighters'). Were these accounts just bunk I was being fed by UFO book sellers? Or is there a good explanation for these phenomena I've failed to pick up on? Put simply, does anyone know more about these?

cheers,

Plenty of explanations.
Foo fighter: Explanations & theories.
But nothing conclusive.

It is very hard to do scientific experiments on a transient phenomenon.

Smile Foo Fighters

Thanks Halycon. Still unsure but facinated by ball lightning now. The picture on wikipedia of ball lightning apparently following a car is quite literally extraordinary.
