Flashing lights hover over city (Darwin, Australia)
Flashing lights hover over city

The Courier Mail
06dec04


EVEN the sceptics are questioning the origins of a strange light that hovered over Darwin on Saturday night.

...

Laboratory technician Julie Lynn was relaxing on the balcony with husband Nigel at their Leanyer home when they noticed the UFO about 8.30pm. A self-described sceptic, Mrs Lynn believes there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for why the UFO hovered above Darwin - she just has no idea what it could be.

...

"It hovered in the one place for at least two hours but had moved significantly when we checked on it again before we went to bed."

...

The UFO was described as being shaped like three connected ball-shaped spheres that flashed blue, green and red from as many as six different light sources.

4. If his name is Nigel, it has to be Australia!
Since this was there for the whole evening, right up until Julie and Nigel decided to hit the sack, why didn't they bother to scrounge up a camera? Maybe Nigel is a deadbeat, but Julie's "laboratory technician" wages should be enough to pick one up, even in Leanyer.

6. She said she was a skeptic, so why would she bother?
Besides, there were several other witnesses.

"Several readers phoned the Northern Territory News late on Saturday night to describe the unidentified flying object that captured their attention."

7. Maybe the aliens are trying to figure out who killed
all those whales. The Universe can't afford to keep such evil terrorist motherfuckers around one moment longer than they have to.

Notice the long nose? They've had to trim it down hundreds of times, due to his 'truth telling.' :puke:

14. A big tractor beam over the WH and then up the east coast
to Kennebunkport and then down to Florida to beam up Jebbie. That would make my millennium.

20. That was my first thought, too
I've seen UFOs, as have many people in my hometown, but they always move too quckly to get a photo. My dad had one hover near his neighborhood (others saw it too) last year. He got his camcorder and filmed it for awhile, but the UFO was silver (long cigar shaped thing), and the sky was gray, so his camcorder wouldn't focus properly. Two hours and no photos-well, that's just inexcusable!

16. Thanks for the interesting story, M.
I'm a confirmed skeptic. But you have to wonder, when so many people are reporting strange sightings. Mexico, China, S. America, Arizona....they can't all be delusional.

The aliens are just caught up in random drug testing:

23. There are many flaps presently worldwide-some of it is military
but others still "unknown".
:tinfoilhat:
Holograms, for instance, have been militarized.
If a skeptic experienced a PSY-OP, would they know?
OTOH, there is the truly unknown.
I don't believe that Earth is the only planet with advanced lifeforms, btw, but I think there could be inter-dimensional lifeforms.

27. I'm skeptical of the more representational patterns,
because they seem more demonstrative of human intelligence. But I don't know.

You may appreciate reading these links from Goro Adachi. He touches on the Arecibo message, and in the second part ties together such High Weirdness with material in Nick Cook's The Hunt for Zero Point in a pretty compelling manner.

26. Maybe the Great Spirit has answered our prayers and will take Bu$h
and the rest of the evil m*****f***ing murderers we have to deal with everyday somewhere where they can do no more harm to the people of this planet.

Wouldn't that be great?:)

29. Cheney's New Ride
I think it's just a new concept vehicle so Cheney can get around faster. That way, he's up on what's going on around the world and can call Bush on his super-secret cell phone and tell him what needs to be done. No doubt it runs on some type of fuel Cheney owns stock in.

Or, it's just aliens. I'd prefer aliens... I think. After watching Signs, it could go one way or the other. We might have to whip out the tin foil hats.
