    Actually, it's because the last aliens that visited have seven different sexes and we don't have enough orifices for three of them. So no joy.

    They have dogs? Are they green dogs? With antennas?

    Now that would explain a few things, wouldn't it? I wonder if they let their dogs hang their heads out the window. Maybe our image of aliens is completely off.

    So if their dogs are green then do they say 'groof' instead of 'woof'? Are their antennas used to throw tennis balls extra far to give their owners lots of exercise?

    Maybe that's why we've never been visited by space aliens: They always let their dogs hang their heads out the window, and as soon as they leave the atmosphere of their planet, the air is sucked out through the open window and they all suffocate.

    Once in college. We had just eaten some mushrooms and went out for a walk. Up above us high in the sky were a series of slowly moving lights. None of us could figure out exactly what they were. They remain unidentified to this day.

    Amanita Muscaria? A friend of mine used to gather those in the wild, and eat them. I declined the invitation to join him.

    No, they were VERY good.

    "A friend of mine used to gather those in the wild, and eat them. I declined the invitation to join him. "

    And we didn't pick them we got them from a silo bin silly.

    Guys, I think this topic has just about "shroomed" out.

    I have had a number of experiences, all of which were eventually explained. I remember one unexpected full moon rise where it looked like someone had nuked a major city. That one scared me until it got a little higher in the sky. I have had several encounters with military aircraft - no big mystery there. The closest to a true UFO experience was in Indiana when I was about 12:

    It was one of those oppressively hot and still summer nights that you get in central Indiana. I was in the field behind our house, and I noticed some radio mast lights to the east. I noticed them because they weren't there before, but it was obviously an array of three or four radio towers. When I looked up again, the towers were still there, but they had moved. That got my attention. I watched them over the next ten minutes as they slowly moved to the south, staying in the same general formation. They winked out one after the other.

    I had no idea what they were. I was pretty sure that they weren't green men UFOs, but they *were* unidentified. A few days later it was in the paper that someone had floated small hot air balloons with flares.

    I had a UFO experience for a few second back at school, I was running and looked back over my shoulder to see the UFO seeming to hover in the air, it was just after the rock hit the back of my head when I identified the object.

    You can make hot-air balloons with large cheap garbage bags, thin steel fencing wire, sticky tape and a fire lighter and if you want it to be a bit safer a small foil pie tray. (use aluminium foil to make a tray if you don't have a tray.

    To build
    Open the bag.
    Use some of the wire to form a ring the size of the bag opening
    Attach the ring with sticky tape in the opening of the bag so the opening is a big circle.
    Use more wire to make a cross across the opening but pass the wire through both sides of the pie tray and through the fire lighter which should be in the middle of the pie tray. Bend the ends of these wires over the ring. The tray and fire lighter need to be centred in the ring.
    That's it, you have a hot air balloon.
    This is only any good on a very still night. Be aware it could start a fire, if it does you didn't get these instructions from me.

    Launch
    best to use another fire lighter, light that fire lighter and hold the plastic bag above the fire lighter allowing the hot air from the fire lighter to rise into the bag. Hold the top of the bag up until it fills with hot air.
    the bag will inflate with hot air and become lighter than the surrounding air.
    At this point light the fire lighter in the pie tray and allow the balloon to fly away.

    Be aware that playing with fire is stupid and may cause huge damage. Don't do this, I only explained so people know how to do it in case they were wondering. DON'T DO THIS!!
    It could be handy though if you run out of flares and you are broken down, adrift at sea.

    This reminds me of the time a cell mate at FCI El Reno (Oklahoma) explained to me in precise detail how to make a bomb out of materials readily available in prison. I pretended to listen politely (that's what you do when fellow inmates speak to you in prison) but I did not care to remember any of the details. So I cannot tell you if the method would work.
