i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

hey guys just want to share with you all that 10minutes ago i saw an unidentifying flying object.

April 24th 2011.
8:20pm, Deanwell, Hamilton, New Zealand.


Its so bright like a star but is not as far away as it is seem, a big bright light. It's hovering for about 10minutes and then move left and then right and just before it disappeared, i ran inside to grab my camera (15x zoom) then it moving left and right and then changing colour from bright to dimmer and disappeared in the thin air.

I thought i can chase it to capture it on the video but its no where to be seen, jumped into my car and start driving for 5km to the farm side and there is nothing at sight.

I'm pretty sure it is not a plane, because its hovering and did not blink at all. Gutted I couldn't catched it on camera, otherwise it would have been awesome.

All i can say is damn!

How interesting... and you had to post that on the maemo forum, did you? :P

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

People here believe all the crap on odd websites talking about Maemo/MeeGo, so why not?

(that said, I'm an UFO agnostic and it might actually be maxximuscool saw something, but definite proof is so hard to get)

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

Not a Westpac Rescue Helicopter then?

Interesting, my partner saw a bright light in the sky the other morning, I was asleep, and she couldn't wake me; but I reckoned it could have been Venus. She doesn't drink. If I'd seen it, I'd blame the drink - especially if I'd been drinking Absinthe. I did see one many years ago in Wales. I blame that one on tiny little mushrooms. There is usually a good explanation for these things. I'd play safe and put it down to a Westpac myself - otherwise you may be getting a knock on the door, and the men will be wearing white, not black...

Edit: the motion you describe sounds more like a police chopper. Used to get them a lot where I lived in the UK, using IR to track crims fleeing into the local council estate. Not seen those round Hamilton myself. Westpacs do fly into Hamilton hospital from all over the Waikato.

Pity you didn't use your n900 to take some pictures - the camera on it is pretty cool, and it is there right when you need it.

I'm in guys. I love UFO's, just not like Skyline movie...
Everyone, prepare your cameras just in case.
I wish we had a UFO shooting mode in N900.

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

While I'm not a complete sceptic on these things, I do believe there's a perfectly rational explanation for these sightings.
I mean, what IS a UFO?
While I can believe that there's other civilisations out there, what sort of being would have the technology to fly across thousands of light years of space only to get lost in the Nevada Desert?

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

Good point - or visit the Waikato when there's so much else to see in New Zealand...

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

The simplest explanation is usually the right one: It was a drone from this planet. If it was close and you didn't hear anything, it's using an electric motor. Imagine how many UFOs they see in the Middle East.

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

That was me throwing my N900 out of the window in blind frustration. I threw it so hard, it made its way to the other side of the world. Can I have it back now? :D

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

Heyya...that was me..! just my usual jog around the earth..!!

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

Proof of extraterrestrial intelligence is that they stayed the hack out of the Solar System. :)

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

Ok, I think we can all agree that OP wasn't able to identify it. So now to prove that it was actually Flying and an Object, and viola! UFO!

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

For some people, the Maemo.org is an important part of their life...so, be nice to OP. We had almost (I think) a hundred new post about Nokia/Microsoft, so why not about some UFO experience?

Btw, did you guys hear about that dog that could........:D

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

yeah i saw its video in fb! the one that prays before it eats the cute puppy??? :D

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

Missed that one.

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

I believe you bro.

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

I was gonna comment with "Hay, do you guys remember about that UFO over jerusalem?" and googled for its youtube links and instead I found that it was likely a hoax:

I think I just saw Chuck Norris. He looks alot taller on TV!

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

I believe you...

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

Anyone believes in Santa Claus?

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

Almost everyone has seen a UFO; that is, an object they couldn't identify in the sky.

Any rational consideration of evidence and its possible significance will show that a UFO of extraterrestrial intelligent origin is extraordinarily unlikely, and since there is no proof of anything, odds are all there is left to go by.

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

He's a different kind of UFO..

Unstoppable F'in Object...

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

Yes! I like this place already.

If you like this thread, you'll love the ballroom dancing thread!

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

The most preposterous part is the idea that aliens would seek out intelligent life in the Waikato...

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

They are searching for food, most likely our N900's.
Hide yo kids, hide yo wife, hide yo n900's....


PS: I believe there's a good explanation to that light, althought i believe in life in other planets.

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

I would assume either an electrical phenomena or a military(etc) drone. The 'UFO' in Jerusalem was one of the first, near as I can tell(Having seen any number of videos from different angles, I'm pretty much convinced it was /not/ a hoax... but not a 'UFO' in the classical sense).

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

Me, me, me. :D

But given that the Germans were messing about with flying saucers and tinkering with anti-gravity before the outbreak of WWII, it's highly probable that these things could be terrestrial. After all we've had over 60 years to perfect their techniques since the end of WWII.
And some aerospace engineers actually believe that anti-gravity is already in use as a flying aid for some of todays whacky designs like the B2 Bomber.

But what I find difficult to grasp is these conspiracy theorists that claim they've seen an extraterrestrial craft, only to scream "You lying b*st*rds" when someone comes up with a completely rational explanation.

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

I think I saw an UFO as well.

It was an iUFOne4 Apple with Maemo5 installed on. Everything ran 200% faster than original white iUFOne4 Apple, except the AppStore, which continued to crash.

Sadly, it didn't have a natural hardware keyboard. Won't buy it.

Ha... Somebody please try and deny this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azjP1Aw6NBw

anyway I believe they are still unidentified things (even on earth ...)
like interstitial intelligence is not proven so far :)

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

It was something that I cannot identify. It did something really odd and I know that its not a plane nor heli. The light is very different. It might be an international space station but it's really bright like a star but in low orbit.

I didn't say it's an alien either :)

I share it here because I want to let people know that I've seen something strange. Nothing skeptical about it though.

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

This is like the only intelligent comment I have seen on this thread so far, lol. Oh and by the way, the Human species is a civilization of Type 0. So if there ever is extraterrestial life that ever shows up on Earth, we are automatically doomed because it is impossible to match up with their technology. (Unless they are friendly...which I highly doubt because I see no reason for...)

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

There is a lot of material that proves that aliens do exist. It's just that NASA tries everything do hide it. I have no idea why... I remember about a month ago, there was a video on youtube about possible existence of aliens. And the best rated comment was by some guy who claims he works for NASA and he said they have REAL proof that aliens exist. A week later, his account was banned and no one heard from him. Guys who saw that tried to get in touch with him, but unsuccessfully. What do you think about this?

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

If there is intelligent life, they would not be interested in most of us (oily rags), but the lead figures in science and politics. If they are in touch with them, they will mainly be interested in the benefits of their technology, and they money they could make. So, they would keep it to themselves. However, so much 'evidence' is faked, and so many of the witnesses appear either mentally unstable &/or taken too many drugs (hence the quasi-religious UFO-cult phenomenon), then of the few that cannot be explained, the best that can be said is - they cannot be explained. Why do people spend so much time debunking? Without the debunking the hoaxes would be 'believed', science approaches things more skeptically, and reduced the 'noise' to a few things that still need explanation. When the president of the USA appears on a news bulletin with an alien - the I'll believe. If I get to meet an alien, then I'll believe. But, because I am an oily rag who gets all my information third-hand - I don't know. And like any other superstition, belief in the supernatural, or religion (which we are not supposed to discuss), then I prefer not to believe in the irrational.

As far as I am concerned, belief in extraterrestrial life having visited earth is like a religious belief, which is not allowed on this forum. Discussion about whether there could be intelligent life in the universe is not like a religious belief, but about probability.

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

Not sure about visiting earth. But I am sure that we are not the only species in the universe to behold the intelligent and Earth isn't a unique place to where live can be existed.

If earth supports live, why doubt that no other planets in the universe couldn't? What make earth unique? We barely reached the moon orbit, yet we can't confirmed that life on earth couldn't possibly exists on another solar system.

Yet if we are a young intelligent race on earth, why doubt that there are no older and more intelligent race out there and have better technology than our own? Anything is possible. Just because you can't proof that it is happening, doesn't mean that it is never happened.

I keep my mind open to opinions :)

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

if there are others out there i hope they dont think like humans, by nature we look down upon whose more primitive than us and were afraid of anything unknown to us or something we cant understand...

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

@maxximuscool

"I think I saw a UFO"
If you are uncertain about what you saw, and you couldn't identify it then: you saw an Unidentified Flying Object.

So yes, you actually saw a UFO. Now what that UFO is (plane/star/meteor shower/Westpac chopper/hot air balloon/prank), is up for debate :P

Re: i think i just saw a UFO!!!
 

Maybe a N999 !

Or a flying N900 ?
