I've heard stories thru my parents and their "grown up" conversations all my life....then when I was old enough to think for myself and It all comes back Via Media Through my "era".Then I read about it and Watch movies and stories about it on Tv. Those older voices are all "gone" now...but they were mentioning names and places and I've always wondered about... the truth....does any one else???? Remember??????

I have a lot of interest in UFOs as a sociological and psychological phenomenon, but after reading a couple of your posts, I'm actually much more intrigued by your use of quotation marks, ellipses, etc.

Maybe it would be interesting to talk about why you (over)heard stories about this from your parents. Did your parents believe that we had been visited by aliens?

gee....I just had to look a little bit further and I found people who were friendly and not cutting...and willing to talk altho it seems No one is still allowed near that area.Guess the gov. and the grown-ups(and geez...now, I'm old) are still saying"shhhhhhhhhh".....So....sorry I bothered You "On this frequency".(and by the way,the "king "did die,because he couldnt keep his nose out of a pile of drugs....which is really too bad 'cause he really could sing !!!!)So much for Hero worship.

LOL Peach_Fla!

Some people believe that the whole thing was a hoax. I know that growing up in the 60's my dad was in the USAF and he saw some UFO's -they were NOT weather balloons, he knew what a weather balloon looked like. But he always said they were "UFO's" - UNIDENTIFIED flying objects - they could have been Russian, could have been US test projects. He didn't DISbelieve in aliens, but said until he saw the evdence he would count on Occam's Razor - the simplest explanation is usually the right one. I do know that when Reagan talked about the infamous "Star Wars" project he was talking about operational facts not proposed fantasies - both my oldest brother and one of my friends were engineers on that project that started in the '70's.

When I was married and lived on Sandia AFB in the 70's, I know that there were places deep in "the mountain" that no one but those with exceptional clearances were allowed. You've seen pictures of NORAD and the other underground bunkers on TV and in movies? That is what Sandia looked like underneath the mountain. Rumors abounded that the aliens' bodies were still kept there from the supposed 'crash'. There were always huge and 'secret' experiments going on, like testing nuclear radiation exposure, continuous hi v and low v electrical exposure etc, on F-16s - all sorts of weird stuff. Sometimes the test sites produced a distinct 'hum' you could hear all over the base. Sandia had three levels of fencing - outside was 6 foot electrical fence, inside was six foot with razor wire at the top, inner wire was eight foot electrically charged fence. In between these three fences rode the MPs constantly, all day and all night.

No one I know has ever been into the interior of Sandia, nor has had any contact with any type of alien life. But hearing about and seeing pictures of the UFOs that circle Mexico City (which kills me - why there? LOL) makes me believe that anything is possible. But I simply cannot make myself believe that aliens are visiting us with regularity or purpose - or that anyone who claims to have been kidnapped or 'probed' or impregnated by aliens is suffering from anything other than a desperate need for attention and a sad lack of self-importance. 1) If they have the technology to travel millions of light years, they should have the technology to render themselves invisible; and 2) if they ARE coming here and 'learning about us' - geez, we're not that hard to figure out, they would have to be pretty stupid to not have done so already, which again belies the 'travel millions of light years'; and 3) why conistently make contact with people with green (or, no) teeth and no ability to communicate effectively and convincingly? I guess I won't believe that they are here until one gets interviewed by Katie Couric. Possible? Yes. Probable? No.

I figure if nothing else they would all have to be male vacationers - you know how men hate to ask for directions, especially when they are lost!!
