On a leaf seeing trip in October back in the 60's with my parents we, along with many other cars, stopped along a highway in North Central New Hampshire at about 7 in the evening to watch three glowing disc shaped objects hovering alongside the highway in between several mountain peaks. They looked to be about 75 feet across. My Mother was screaming at my Dad, "John, get us out of here"! John! John! But like many other cars he pulled over and got out to see better. I looked and then buried my head in a pillow on the back seat. I will never forget that experience and don't have a clue as to what they were but can hear my Dad to this day yelling "Rita!" 'Look there are UFO's right there" Look Rita Look"! I looked up to see them just rise straight up and then zoom ( and that is the best way to describe it) away disapearing into the night sky which was clear and starlit. Everyone parked alongside the road was yelling "did you see that"?

Beat the sh!t out of what I saw earlier at Clarks' Trading Post that afternoon. Never forget that and to this day my Mother will not talk about it.

true story.

Why even try.........

Millions of galaxies with billions of stars in each.......of course there's life out there.Our own galaxy has billions of stars.Intelligent life HAS to be out there.The Drake Equation is a formula for estimating how many technological civilizations could be out there.

Still on the fence about Roswell.Our government loves to hide/lie about its screw-ups and secret projects to the point of insanity.The Kecksburg
case is another interesting "incident".

I saw two of I thought were two helicopters in the winter of '76. I stopped my car got out for a better view and heard nothing-silence. It was dark and I could only see lights hovering over P-town Harbor, I was on Rt. 6 at the High Head road. Then zip-zip they were gone over Wood End. Went from a dead hover to gone in an instant, I've never before or since seen anything move that fast.

Why would you say such a thing?

Remember there are millions of galaxies with billions of stars meaning there are literally a billion trillion planets.The number of planets in the known universe is beyond our ability to count.

Our own galaxy has several BILLION stars with hundreds of millions of them of the same type as ours.That translates to billions of possibly habitable planets.Of those some,millions HAD to have developed life and hundreds of thousands of those had to have developed intelligent life and thousands of those had to have developed highly intelligent life.And a select few had to have been so successful in evolution to a point so beyond our ability to comprehend.

Simply put our galaxy alone is teaming with as many life bearing planets as there individual life forms on Earth!

The above is a simple breakdown of what the Drake Equation is.

The truth of the matter is we really are not alone!
