Alien Flyover of Arizona-March 13th
auth...@webtv.net
SHERILYN --- who keeps using different headers (or banners) to write in
this newsgroup, because answering questions or commenting under ALIEN
FLYOVER OF ARIZONA ON MARCH 13TH, is considered by SHERILYN as helping in
a propaganda campaign, is starting to get upset.
SHERILYN'S reasons are that no alien visitation of this planet has been
proven. Whether that has any bearing on the event of March 13th that
covered an area from Paulden AZ in the North to Tucson in the South, is
hard to understand.
SHERILYN is happy to comment or question under a banner (or header) that
mentions "Phoenix Lights" or "Phoenix UFO" because even though the event
was not confined to Phoenix, evidently these headline and sound bite
terms maybe have visited this planet? The UFO or Lights were not
confined to Phoenix. Cite, cite, cite.
SHERILYN --- answering an item mentioned by ALIEN VISIONS in a post, that
just didn't require an answer from the esteemed Sherilyn, wrote, "Take it
up with the San Francisco Examiner" and near the end of that post,
SHERILYN, stooped to using, "usual Roswell cultie tripe".
SHERILYN is becoming upset with ALIEN FLYOVER OF ARIZONA ON MARCH 13TH.
It must be that there were no lights, no ufo, no V-shaped object, nothing
happened on March 13th over Arizona at all, in SHERILYN's fantasy world.
SHERILYN ---- please keep looking up at Charing Cross Station, you may
see something that no one will ever believe, because their open minds
have a huge hole in them.

Ahem. I am?
By the Doc, your frequent use of block capitals is normally frowned on
in USENET. It makes people look like they are shouting at the top of
their voices, for some reason no doubt related to psychology.

Yes, it was a nasty thing to say. Bad, bad Sherilyn. Must remember to
treat the hundredth brainwashed Roswell cultie just as politely as the
first.

Could you explain this, Doc? I already told you I am not upset by it and
am not going to change your subject lines one little bit. As I remarked
earlier, this is a last desperate attempt to breathe some life into what
is rapidly turning into a complete foil-helmet job.

Oh, one other thing, when you go chopping the headers from replies be
careful you don't remove headers that refer to other peoples replies. For
example I did not write the text above, nor that below, but you removed the
appropriate header and thus it looks like I wrote that text (since only my
header remains). Please be more careful.

Sorry I snipped this, but I have been trying to get Sherilyn to answer
just 1 of my questions. I try to get her to stay on track towards one
subject, but she is a talented debunker/dissinformation poster. Wether
she is doing it on purpose or just for fun.Very Good Sherilyn, what
exactly has Mike said to make what clear? He has simply tried to tell
his story. He is probably searching for answers and the truth. I know
thats a hard concept for you to grasp.

DISSINFORMATION tactic!I have specifically left the word "ALIEN" out of
all of my posts. Please look back if you don't believe me. I don't know
if the UFO spotted on March 13th over Pheonix was ALIEN in origin. I
tend to lean towards secret projects, by whomever. I am not saying
secret projects explain away every UFO sighting, but its the best
explanation available.

Thanks. I freely admit that I'm at a disadvantage when discussing
military hardware, in which, having at one time worked on guided weapons
systems, I have some rapidly-outdating relevant experience but no
particular interest. I have to point out, however, that an altavista
search on +uav +ufo* threw up inly some kind of games site, and a
similar dejanews search didn't seem much more enlightening.
Much that passes for "military hardware" discussions on flying saucer
newsgroups seems to involve hypothetical antigravity devices and
captured alien spaceships. I regard such speculation as of passing
interest only. There are, however, many on the saucer newsgroups and
on my home group, sci.skeptic, who obviously know far more than I about
current, actual military hardware and its capabilities.

"All that is known about the 9:30 video is that it's LIGHTS.
Strange lights, but none the less lights."
In private email to me, Mike has repeatedly stressed his personal
opinion that the video just shows lights (he is also sure they are not
flares, I am not so sure) and that he thinks there were many different
things were in the air that night. I hope I have represented his
opinion correctly.

HOW (emphasis not shouting) is it possible that you are discussing the
very TOPIC (emphasis not shouting) of the "Pheonix UFO signting" without

Well I wouldn't do a search for pages containing UAV and UFO ... since most
fervent UFO believers won't admit that such sightings may be quite
attributable to such craft ;)
As for discussion of military projects ... well I'm more interested in the
military than UFO's ... you will find me among other places on
rec.aviation.military and sci.military.naval (I'm the one defending the
EF2000 !! )

OK, let's get this straight from an eyewitness. There was NO alien
flyover. What I, and other saw was a formation of secret military
stealth helicopters. These are low radar signature with new design
rotors that muffle the normal wop-wop-wop noise associated with rotary
wing craft. These are an outgrowth of the M-D NOTAR (no tail rotor)
helicopter that has been in production for several years.
Here in Arizona, we have several military and government operations that
deal in clandestine activities. It is well-know that Ft Huachuca, near
Sierra Vista has long been a training facility for the CIA. They have
trained foriegn military and civilian agents there. Evergreen air used
to be a CIA-funded aircraft modification and repair facility. I
understand that they are now out of this involvement, or so they say.
There was also a facility at the Tucson airport in the 1980's that
rebuilt at least one C-47 (DC-3) that later crashed in Nicaragua with
much publicity. They stopped answering their phones shortly thereafter.
The point is, we cannot look at every unusual event and claim that it's
alien visitations. First, we look for more prosaic answeres, even if
they do not fit our agenda. That's how we establish credibility,
something the current UFO crowd does not have.

Maybe the concept of hovering over a large city with hundreds of
eyewitnesses is PRECISELY the point. What better way to continue to
desensitize the general population to unusual crafts and bring this type
of activity into the mainstream counciousness. Whether or not there has
EVER been a capture and back-engineering of an alien airship, there seems
to be little doubt that the US gov't/military have some highly advanced
toys with capabilities unlike any we've ever seen publicly. I've never
felt that the flyover in Phoenix was anything but a Made in USA design.
They've been experimenting with disk shapes and alternative designs since
the early '50s.
Regarding accountability, since when did the darkest, most secretive
sectors of our government and military ever worry about that?? Denial has
always worked in the past -- tens of millions of people believe everything
they see on the evening news.

Is it now a flight of helicopters? I thought it was those NG
A-10s. Boy, they had quite a few craft flying in that airspace
for an International Airport and a military field. Why didnt
they just present the flight plans for all this traffic and warn
Sky Harbor. These are all a danger to commercial aircraft,
unknown craft in that ATC area.
Question on another government project.
I am often awake late at night due to much pain and I usually
tape the 3:00 a.m. movies on TCM. I started to one night on the
morning of th ePathfinder event and, since I didn't like the
move, I was jumping, surfing, and I unknowlingly captured a
report of a big round ball, light colored, with seams running
from pole to pole, sort of. A voice was saying, 'Wow, that must
have bounced 100-150 feet.' All it is is this ball bouncing
sort of from 10 o'clock and going out of the picture at 4 oclock.
Sometime later I wondered about it. It was apparently Pathfinder
bouncing on Mars. I didn't think about it until I thought,
'Hey, what took that picture?' It was up pretty close. Plus I
am legally blind and even on my big screen I lose things since
what I see is peripherally viewed. Then I realized, that must
have been an animation, the kind NASA does to show what happens
in different projects. It bounced amont a barren, rocky area.
Nice picture of the surace and rocks. When the photos came back
from Mars, even thouogh NASA said they id not know where it
would land or what they could expect, the animation seemed to be
right on. I couldn't tell so I asked my wife to look at them.
She thought they were very similar in rock shaps and locations
and surface, very, very similar. She thought that a couple of
the rocks looked identical.
I am getting a video capture system for some other experiments I
wish to do, but I thouoght: maybe I can superimpose the picture
of the animation over all the mars photos. Wouldn't it be a
fantastic coincidence if there were some perfect matches?
I know someone has said that it was fantastic luck that the
Pathfinder ball survived 18gs touchdown, followed by 15 more
bounces, nothing damaged, and it ended up perfectly upright and
level. Great stroke of luck. I wonder what the probabilities
would be that some rocks or formations in the animation would
match the rock and formations on the mars photos?
I never could find that single shot of Pathfinder animation
again. Anyone else get that? It might be valuable. I have put
it away with a friend for safekeeping.
I would not say that any luck was the result of activities in
concert, not at all. I would only comment that the guys at NSA
are prescient and very lucky.

Include me, Doc. I still have to see evidence that the lights prove that
there is a V-shaped aircraft flying over AZ. All I see are lights. Couldn't
be that they are a group of aircraft flying in formation? Suppose not, since
there
were NO aircraft flying at the time. I guess this doesn't include the alleged
airliner
making an approach on the Good Year flightline or the other pilot that,
allegedly
flew under the alien craft to try and identify it. What about their lights,
such as
wing tip lights and anti-collision? How come, when the whole incident was
reported, neither of these craft were present in the air, but now are
mentioned?
Did they shut off thier lights so that they wouldn't be abducted,
disregarding standard
air safety practices? I suppose they didn't want to identified as alien
craft. Lights
are proof of an alien presence, aren't they. Of course, the craft is
transparent,
therefore the lights are the only thing visible. Good thing Wonder Woman
didn't
use any lights. She would have been shot down or, at least, witnessed by
groups of people that came out to only stare at a group of lights flying over
a
city.
Seems to be some gaps in the story here, which some people are trying to fill
in becuase it doesn't match what they wish it to be.
And you wonder why Sherilyn doesn't want to make the jump from "Lights over
Phoenix" to "Alien Flyover"?
Whoops, once again, I make that damn mistake of hoping for REAL proof.
I must stop doing that, one of these days.
>>>>>>>>>
You state that "All I see are lights", yet fail to admit no explaination of a
known craft exists. This same formation has been associated with thousands of
UFO sightings dating back to the summer of 1951 in the southwest and in
Lubbock Texas where a boomerang shaped formation of lights was photographed,
and is one of the most well known of UFO sightings in ufology. This case was
covered in I believe several books by Jerome Clark and in "The UFO Casebook"
by Kevin Randle. In one of the videos from Phoenix (the one appearing closest
to the craft) the object appears to be outlined by the lights which seem to
shine away from a central object, but not shine inward. In the
Bentwaters-Woodbridge case of 1980, a witness to the craft said it appeared
that the "fabric of the craft" looked like glass that could only be seen near
the lights, as if the reflection of light near the surface revealed the
transparent hull these obects use. Dr. Ellen Crystall describes craft she had
seen in upper state NY in an identical way stating that the hull could be seen
only near the lights. Skeptics will continue to dig for a "plausible" answer,
but the obvious one is that we are being lied to. This case will remain as
the Lubbock lights case of 1951, as one of the most documented, and
unexplained events in ufology. I sincerely doubt any earthly answer will be
found.

Say, did the Military say if the so-called "Classified" aircraft that
people mistook for UFOs, are STILL being "Classified"? If not, I sure
would like the FEDS to tell me WHICH aircraft in our Wonderful Military
arsenal I saw on a summer night in 1961 that resembled a brillant white
light that hovered over some power lines, dropped red sparks from the
bottom and then suddenly shot South in an arc. One of three people with
saw the object heading North. Sure as hell wasn't an F-4 or an SR-71
for that matter.
Or could it be those pesky Crash Test Dummies are at it a again?

Howdy Bob:
Can you tell me how a group of lights proves that there is an explanation
for something other than known aircraft. While I don't know exactly
what the lights are, I can suspect that the lights are several aircraft
flying in a formation. There are a few military groups that do fly
similar formations. These do not have to be the Blue Angels flying in
F-16's, nor do they need to be the F-18's used by the Navy's stunt team.
Many military pilots fly formations that most people think are not standard.
I used to watch many F-111E's do much the same and more. After having
worked on several different type of aircraft over the years, I am aware of what
they can do.
I have yet to see proof that many sightings exceed the limits of aircraft that
are older than 30 years, which is the majority of my experience. I have been
around some that are over 20 years (F-15's, for example) that can perform
many maneuvers that are described as impossible.
As for flights of craft dating back to 1951, why not consider the SuperBee.
This was an extremely fast aircraft for its time. It was nearly nothing but
engine, with enough room left for flight control and the pilot. For it's day, I'm sure that
it could do stunts that were considered impossible. By the way, it was all fabric, too.
I will take a look at the reference that you provided. I am glad that someone
can provide something like that.

As Carbon dating is of no value on an object that old I seriously doubt
that you know what you are saying.

Carbon dating is only good to approximately 50k yrs. Shame you didn't
know that...

Perhaps you should take your own advice. Except instead of "get on
with you life" it would be merely "get a life". And, if it's not too
much stress, a clue.

How do we know they are aliens it is more likely they are travelers from

What does "semi-electronic" mean? In what manner was it determined that the
object was created ina vacuum, or on another planet? If it comes from
another planet, of what use is carbon dating (which requires calibration
from tree rings or the like.) Where did you come by the information you
relate here?

Other dimensions and creatures existing in them is one popular theory. I also
like to point out that, if this is possible, then we needn't always look up at
the sky for aliens, they could be standing right next to us or living among us
at all times without our being able to realize them, and vice versa.

Pretty funny, Tom. "Science" has nothing to say about life in other
"dimensions" because the whole idea is hogwash. To say that there could
be a "fourth" or "eighth" dimension is just idle speculation. Just
because we can mathematically deal with the idea of additional dimensions,
it doesn't follow that they exist or that life is involved.
So, your statement is correct, "dimensions" as places are just the dreams
of crappy SF writers.
What about the "second" dimension, for example? Our three dimensional
world CONTAINS two dimensional stuff. Does this mean that a hypothetical
fourth dimension would CONTAIN this three dimensional world?
To a scientist, a "dimension" is just an aspect of something that can be
measured. Some problems in physics, for example, can be most easily
solved if you postulate some extra dimensions. The dimensions don't have
to be real or "places" in any sense for this to work.

Thought so...after all time and space are the 4th and 5th dimensions and
these aren't places! :-) I seem to recall that several of these "higher"
dimensions contain the solutions to cosmic string theory and the possible
m-theory, rather than alien life-forms......

Usually the person who raves on about his latest alien encounter and or
experience is the complete ignorant, just by looking at their message content,
their ignorance in this subject is shocking for someone who is supposed to have
made an encounter and or discovery related to this subject. Pure fantasy is the word.

Alien life somewhere else in our Universe has been real long before anyone
of us were around. However there are no aliens visiting Earth in flying
saucers or whatever you have dreamed of lately. Until we make first contact,
everything you read/hear about flying saucers, aliens visiting Earth etc is BS.
Not that my above statements will change anything to the mass hysteria in this
subject but don't say I didn't try ;)

I wouldn't call it 'idle' speculation. The fact is that there is no reason
why the universe can't have five or 10 or an infinite number of dimensions.
We travel freely throughout three dimensions, we perceive our journey
through the fourth (elapsed time can be considered a distance in the fourth
dimension). Without even knowing how to perceive a fifth (or higher)
dimension how can we possible describe it any way other than
mathematically.

I really hate to thrust bad news upon you, but whoever gave you this
information seems to be playing on your ignorance. Because of the
relatively short half-life of carbon 14 (5730 years) radio-carbon dating is
unusable for organic material that is more than a few tens of thousands of
years old; 50000 years is roughly the upper limit.

I think he was refering to hyperspace... hyper dimensional creatures are
entirely possible... In fact it's been said God is of higher dimensions ,
this proves why in the bible it's said god was like blobs of nonsense.. like
smog etc.. whatever... , this is exactly how a higher dimensional creature
would look to a lower dimensional creature.. you should read a book by a
physicist , Kaku or something like that..

Ah, a little intelligence sparkles across the NET! For the clueless, the
little classic book "FLATLAND" is required reading. It uses a mythical 2
dimensional land to get across the ideas of what to expect from
interactions with higher dimensional manifolds.
The key here is that interactions with higher dimensions tend to appear
as *magic* in lower dimensional worlds. For example take what to us
would be a simple sphere passing through "flatland". A simple three
dimensional (actually 4 dimensional including time) geometric process.
But to flatlanders, they witness a "miracle" as a "circle being" appears
out of nowhere, grows larger and larger; then smaller and smaller and
finally disappears!
For this reason one can extrapolate whereby "magical" or "religious
miracle" behavior (eg. ufo appears out of "nowhere" and then dissappears)
*may* have some unseen higher dimensional aspects.
Lets also go further and speculate about flatlanders existing in thier
own dimensions but *using* higher ones for transport. it works like this:
Say flatland was not flat. Say it was really a sphere and only appeared
flat to denizens because of it's large size. (meaning plane geometry
normally worked and spherical geometery didn't seem to be needed.)
No lets go even futher. Say, that it wasn't really a sphere at all but
more like the shape of a red blood cell. And even more so where the top
and bottom surface of the "cell" almost touched in the center. Now if a
flatlander had the technology, to suddenly become able to move in three
dimensions, he could "jump" or "warp" from one side of the flatland
universe to the the other in virtually no time! He would disappear from
where he was and reappear almost instantly half way round flatland.
Does any of this start to sound like some of the stranger reported UFO
properties? I thought so!

Well, since you aren't given to making bizarre evidence-free claims, I
wasn't going to include you.
But since you ask to be included on the list and you haven't (to my
knowledge) made any bizarre evidence-free claims, then your claim to
belong on the list is in itself bizarre and evidence-free, so I _can_
include you.
By that logic, anybody who asks to be on the list can be on it. And
anybody who is nutty enough to want to be on it can be on it.
Except now that you have asked to be on the list and you are actually on
the list, I can't include you because your claim to list-membership
isn't bizarre and evidence-free.
Sherilyn was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of
this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.
"That's some catch, that Catch-22," she observed.
"It's the best there is," Doc Daneeka agreed.

Umm... you got a chapter and verse for the "blobs of nonsense" part?

Yes, I read Flatland about 30 years ago (and don't forget _Sphereland_,
for those who want to speculate about non-Euclidean "dimensions"). The
interesting thing about applying the concepts of Flatland to our present
world is that the Flatlanders live INSIDE our 3D world. This means that
WE would live INSIDE any hypothetical higher-dimension world.
Since my reply was initially targeted at folks who were speculating about
beings who lived in "some other dimension" and "traveled" to this one, I
still say BULLSHIT.

No not BULLSHIT. If say there were 6 or 9 or even 100 other dimensions,
there is then whole regions of *3* dimensional areas that do not
intersect with *our* three dimensional area. it's like having this plane
that is "flatland" but since there really are other dimensions as well
there can other planes which represent other "flatlands" that do not
interect with the first flatland. So beings living on one or the other
plane would experience just a "normal" world. BUT if one group were to
get "advanced" and discover the technology to be able to move (which is
to say "travel") in the separating dimension, they would then have the
ability to "travel" back and forth from their world to the other one.
Thus these would be beings who "lived in another dimension" (even though
it was just like ours when you are over there), who then "traveled" to
this one. Not Bullshit, just plausible and logical...Um, given the
existance of "extra" dimensions.
And note the key thing that in "traveling" here they would just suddenly
"appear" like a miracle. Because they would be "moving" in the dimension
that we don't see, while standing stationary in the three that we do.

this fits so snuggly with my own theory...
nobody else exists except in MY reality... When I converse with others..
they are figments of my imagination.. to make them interesting I give
these figments memories of what went on before they came into my focus..
they seem real.. then they move out of my focus.. I am continually
creating a temprary universe on my horizon ahead while removingthe
universe on my horizon past.....
YOU as a reader of this document did not exist prior to my creating this
occassion when you read this document... you seem real with memories and
emotions etc.. butI created you to read this then I may have created you
to reply, or not..(this being a subconcious creation that my concious
self is unaware of means that I can enjoy interreaction with you or not
whatever the case maybe)
therefore I am the GOD/CREATOR or the universe....
anything that comes into my perception is a result of my unconcious
creation.. good or bad harmful or helpful.. I like to keep ME on my
toes....
If you disagree its because thats how I created you...

If you mean semantically, I'd think the answer is "yes". After all, someone from as
close as the country next door is called an 'alien'.

Along the same lines is "The Planiverse" subtitled "Computer Contact with a

It looks like no one tried to answer your question. Physics is sort of a
hobby of mine so I'll try. All of you holding degrees, or if you just know
more than me are welcome to correct me.
Parallel universes can be, according to lore formed by blackholes. There is I
think a czech author who recently put out a book called "Parallel Universes".
If you are familiar with the formation of a black hole then you know that it
starts with a star exceeding at the very least 1.4 solar masses collapsing in
on itself. It cannot support it's mass once thermal pressure and electron
degeneracy pressure are overcome by gravity(electron degeneracy pressure being
roughly illustrated like this. Put water in a ballon and imagine that you can
see the molecules of water vibrating back and forth. When you apply pressure
with both of your hands resistance increases the more you press on the ballon
until it explodes. This is sort of the way electrons act, their vibration is
increased in velocity as their space for movement is restricted.)and
collapse. Eventually the mass so collapses that it begins to warp space, or
dialate space more than it did before. Imagine stretching a piece of rubber
over the open end of a large box. Place a small but heavy metal ball in the
centeranjd watch how rubber sags and even started to fold around the ball(this
is only a two dimensional illustration, I don't have the narrative capability
to describe it in 3-D"). Eventually if the ball is heavy enough it rips rigs
through the rubber and the rubber bounces back to lay flat and the ball at the
bottom of the box. In the universe space dialates around the black hole. As
it become smaller and more dense it's gravity is eventually enough to dialate
space around it so much that it pinches itself off from the rest of the
universe without the corresponding hole in space like there would be in the
rubber.
What is in teresting and has led some physicist to believe that there are
other universes is that once this process has culminated with the black hole
shutting itself off from the rest of space. Somwhere isolated from our
universe you have a small very dense and hot point of matter with nothing but
infinite void around it.
Another Big bang? A Smaller Bang?
Who knows, our knowledge of the universe is not the end product of science it
is just another step towards finding the next question to ask ourselves.

The thing about pure solpsism like this is its absolute
internal consistency. Logical argument is useless, for the
reasons stated above. One can use the Chesterton/Duane
method, i.e. hurt them unexpectedly and ask why they did
that to themselves, but I suspect our friend here has that
loophole sewed up too. Therefore (grin) the only rational
approach is to kill the solpsist and see if the universe
still exists afterward.
Not that I'm recommending that -- he *might* be right, after
all.
