WEIRD ALIEN CRAFT WITNESSED OFF THE BEACH OF MARTHAS VINEYARDS
WEIRD ALIEN CRAFT WITNESSED OFF THE BEACH OF MARTHA’S VINEYARDS
WEIRD ALIEN CRAFT WITNESSED OFF THE BEACH AT MARTHA’S VINEYARDS
AUGUST 20, 1997 ….. MARTHA’S VINEYARD MASSACHUSETTS
While camping alone on the cliffs of Gay Head, Aquinnah, Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts I made this observation. It was Bill Clinton’s birthday, as mine was the day before, so I guess we were both celebrating on the island…my accommodations were a bit more primitive than his I’d guess. To save money I drove my motorcycle to a secluded spot on Gay Head Cliff, looking out to No Man’s Island, an uninhabited island that had been used by the military for bombing practice, about a mile off shore. It was very dark, but a nice starry night. I had passed Clinton’s motorcade earlier that day and was just enjoying the solitude and peace of that beautiful island. The beach front lay before me at the bottom of the cliff; a clothing optional beach, very famous, was nearby and got extensive use on sunny summer days. The President had done a book signing that day in Vineyard Haven and may have been coming back from the beach when I saw his motorcade. It was late, about 1am, when I finally settled down, as I wanted to be as inconspicuous as possible; camping was illegal there. I had only a sleeping bag, which was enough for that nice weather. As I was looking out over the cliff to the SW I saw a fishing boat way off, a dragger, with all its very bright lights on, not moving so it seemed. Suddenly, to the right of the boat appeared a large, spinning, pinwheel kind of light, with reds, oranges, and yellows going round and round, going clockwise. It was just at the ocean surface and not far from the boat..I thought, those guys on the boat have to be looking at this light. It was kind of freaky watching, trying to figure out what it could be. It was not related to the boat at all. I watched it stay steady for about ten minutes when all of a sudden it just went out, like someone pulled a light switch…just gone. The boat was still in the same spot. I wondered whether it was still there with its light out or moving in the darkness with out lights. I kept watching but never saw the light again..I didn’t sleep much that night, wondering if it might find me there alone, miles from the nearest habitation. Just a weird and lucky observation for me. I wonder what the boat crew thought. I’d say the pinwheel was almost the size of the ship and that they were very near each other, relative to my position. Was it observing the boat? I don’t know. – MUFON CMS NOTE: The above image is a rendering.
In his usual wonderful style, HD has put together another exciting compilation of UFO sightings. Some of the best UFO sightings over the last few week are here on this video many of which are REALLY IMPRESSIVE captures!
I can’t help but wonder, as I hear the screams and fear in the background of some of these captures, just how people are going to react when the invasion of these “space enemies” finally happens. Well, as the Bible states, some will just fall dead at the sight of it.
*Sightings And Sources* Ovni u Osni (Ufo) sobre las playas de monte Hermoso en Argentina 14/1/2014 Increible video http://youtu.be/7l2ZmtBdCZo Source: sᴛʀᴀɴɢᴇ ᴡᴏʀʟᴅ
Publisher's Note:I found this article in my Google Alerts. It concerns an object spotted and phototgraphed by many people across Gloucester, UK. The article by citizenmike appeared on the Gloucester Citizen website. It is interesting in that many people have photographs but still don't know what the object was: aliens, ufos and meteors have been ruled out. Enjoy Dirk
Tongues are wagging as to what the object was that was caught on camera by people all across Gloucestershire.
More readers have submitted their own snaps of the mysterious sight.
Andrew Hill, from Tuffley, spotted the phenomenon from Haresfield Beacon. He said: “It looks like falling debris with fire or flames at the front of the trails.
“In the image there are four trails. I hope we will get some reason for this phenomenon soon.”
Reader Paul Hooper also wrote in to say that he was in South Worcestershire when he saw what looked like a ‘UFO falling to earth’.
Astronomer John Fletcher, who runs the Mount Tuffley Observatory from his Tuffley home, ruled out anything falling from space such as a meteor or UFO.
He said: “This is likely to be a distortion of a vapour trail from a jet airliner as it enters the twilight zone in the atmosphere.
“If it was a meteor then it would have been much faster. I can rule out it being anything falling from space.”
A 61-year-old Florida UFO witness has a conclusion for those studying UFO sightings – they're all ours, according to March 14, 2014, testimony in Case 54675 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness says he's always been interested in military aircraft – and he's seen some usual things over the years – objects that look like our aircraft – but don't behave like our aircraft.
“I've watched a B-58 Hustler hovering about 20 feet over some trees; for maybe six to eight seconds,” the witness stated. “I was maybe a hundred yards away. The B-58 Hustler does not hover.”
One object covered too much ground in too little time.
“I've seen a UFO flying from east to west, covering an estimated distance of 20 miles; in about eight seconds. It seemed to be anywhere from 500 to 1,000 feet long. It bounced up and down as it crossed the sky. It bounced up and down in the sky, like an A/C current sine wave. From peak to peak of its bounce, I'd say was maybe half a mile.”
One object looked like one of ours, but appeared to be altered.
“And I saw one UFO that looked basically like a Navy F-14 Tomcat with its wings folded for super-sonic flight. The similarity ended at where the engine intakes are on an F-14. It was like an F-14 without a cockpit; ascending and reflecting sunlight so much it almost hurt my eyes to look at it.”
Today is a sad day to report the passing of Dr. Roger K. Leir, we have lost a great family man, podiatrist and devoted ufologist. He will be greatly missed by all.
I was in my car yesterday when Richard Shaw phoned and told me.
“Have you heard?”
“Heard what I asked.”
“Oh, I guess you haven’t heard yet.” He paused for a moment and I heard in his voice that something was wrong. “Roger died yesterday of a heart attack…”
“What?” I said in disbelief, stunned by what I was hearing.
Richard continued letting me know that Roger had gone to the doctor because his ankle was flaring up again. He went into the bathroom and apparently had a heart attack while in there. Efforts to revive him failed.
I first met Dr. Leir or as Richard and I have come to call him between us, Uncle Roger, at a MUFON meeting in 1999. Nephilim had just been published and I went to the meeting to see author Barry Chamish, who had also written a book on the Nephilim. While there I was introduced for the first time to Dr. Roger Leir. I had heard about him and his recent extraction of an alleged alien implant. We talked for a while about UFOs and implants and then I asked him, what the implant looked like.
He reached into his coat pocket and produced a small vial and looking at me with an impish grin said, Here it is, want to take a look?
I was taken aback realizing that I was about to hold the implant myself. He popped the lid of the continuer and then let the implant fall into my open palm. That’s who Roger was. You never really knew what he was going to tell you or show you.
Roger was in all of the Watchers films, and is the focus of Watchers 7. He was the pioneer of implant removal and his commitment to the research in this field will be sorely missed. He was a friend and I will miss him.
The picture above was taken during the 17th implant removal. Roger assisted in the surgery.
Death is never convenient and the sting of it has wounded my heart.

Video: Presidential Encounters with UFOs
Video: Presidential Encounters with UFOs
From Truman to Obama, our modern day Presidents have all had rich and controversial histories with UFOs and extraterrestrials. In fact, Eisenhower, Nixon, Carter, and Reagan are each rumored to have had personal encounters. InsideHANGAR 1, MUFON files ask, “What do our presidents really know about the existence of UFOs?” Are some Presidents kept in the dark because they aren’t trusted with that knowledge and how they might use it? Or, are they all aware, but the secrets are too dark and deep that full disclosure becomes a risk they just can’t take?

Video: Canada’s Official UFO Studies-Your Need to Know
We will explore two of Canada’s UFO reporting agencies: Project Magnet and Second Story, both established in the early 1950′s. Also we will examine some details of the infamous Shag HarborUFOincident. This case is one of the very few where a government agency formally acknowledges an unidentified flying object. It was determined that no known aircraft was involved in the incident, so the source remains unknown to this day.

Photos : Le Dr Leir lors de sa venue
aux Repas mensuels sur le dossier OVNI de Paris (Photo G. Lebat)
Nous avons la profonde tristesse de vous faire part du décés le 14 mars 2014 du Dr Roger Leir.
Il était alors à l’hôpital quand le malheur est arrivé, avant même toutes interventions. On n’a ps connaissance à cette heure de la cause du décés de Roger Leir. Roger avait été renversé par une voiture alors qu’il rentrait du Symposium International du Mufon à Irvine, en Californie en 2010, hospitalisé avec des blessures aux pieds et à l’abdomen, il a été hospitalisé durant quelque temps. Il a reprise ensuite ses activités.
Roger Leir est venu à nos repas ovni de Paris il y a quelques années, après la traduction et l’édition de son premier ouvrage en France. Outre son extrème compétence dans le domaine des implants éventuellement « d’origine E.T. » (Il était devenu le nr 1 mondial dans ce domaine et a donné des conférence au Royaume-Uni, Brésil, Turquie, Japon, Australie, France , Canada, Pérou, Mexique, Italie, Saint-Marin…) il était d’une gentillesse sans limite, attentionné et toujours prét à rendre service. Nous pouvions le suivre, parcourant inlassablement les Etats-Unis, le monde, lors de conférences qu’il donnait dans les congrès et réunions diverses, spécialisées en général sur le phénomène ovni. Il ne savait pas dire « non » lorsqu’on lui demandait de venir lors d’une telle manifestation et se mettait en quatre pour faire plaisir. Nous gardons tous et ce jour là à ce repas OVNI à Paris plus de 200 personnes présente, un excellent souvenir de son intervention qui a remplie de bonheur la salle. Gildas Bourdais, son ami de toujours et le traducteur de ses œuvres littéraires, était là pour le présenter, le soutenir et traduire son intervention.
Rappelons que le Dr Leir et son équipe ont effectué plus de 15 interventions chirurgicales sur des personnes qui prétendaient avoir été enlevées par des E.T. ce qui a abouti à l’extraction de 16 objets distincts soupçonnés d’être des implants exotiques. Analysés par d’importants laboratoires, ces objets sont vraiment insolites, tels des anomalies metallurgiques ou encore des rapports isotopiques étrangers à notre monde.
Il s’est aussi déplacé au Brésil afin de mener une enquête sur l’affaire de Varginha. Ce cas l’intriguait et il a voulu en savoir plus afin de tenter de faire la lumiére dans ce dossier. Il a écrit par la suite un ouvrage sur Varginha dans lequel il raconte ce qu’il a appri.
Le Dr Leir, chirurgien durant plus de 43 années était titulaire d’un diplôme universitaire de Dr en médecine podiatrique, Bac es-science et agrégé en Art. Il était certifié par:
- The National College of Foot Surgeons - The American Board of Podiatric Sports Medicine - The American Board of Foot Surgery - The American Circulatory Society and the Society for Non-Invasive Vascular Technology.
Le déces du Dr Leir créé un vide, c’est la disparition de competences et d’un savoir unique dans le monde. Nous garderons un excellent souvenir de cet homme plein de gentillesse et nous souhaitons à sa famille, à tous ses amis de part le monde, nos plus sincéres condoléances.

“Watch as a colorful fleet of UFOs is seen from the space station live cam this week. The UFOs actually change colors as they move. This fleet is following two lone UFOs far out ahead of them all. It looks like the fleet was caught leaving the dark side of the Earth just as the ISS came into view. This is one rare and amazingly beautiful event,” says Scott Warning, author of UFO Sightings Daily
Date of sighting: March 10, 2014
Location of sighting: Earths orbit viewed from ISS
Waring points out that another UFO was seen near the International Space Station only a few days later.
Streetcap1 of Youtube caught this UFO at the ISS and it looks to be matching speed with the ISS. The object appears to be solid and almost disk-like. This is a great capture of this object and the surface color is very similar the the last few UFOs we have seen at the space station this month, says Waring

België in de ban van miraculeus oplichtend Mariabeeld
België in de ban van miraculeus oplichtend Mariabeeld
Wallonië is in de ban van wat ze het wonder van Jalhay noemen. In dat plaatsje, in de buurt van Luik, licht een Mariabeeldje elke avond spontaan op. Een wonder, aldus de eigenaars en heel wat mensen die het al aanschouwden. Vooral omdat het beeldje volgens hen ook heelkundige en goddelijke krachten zou hebben.
De Maria van Jalhay, zo wordt ze inmiddels genoemd. Honderden kijklustige pelgrims hebben al een bezoek gebracht aan het dorpje. In de woning van het stel waar het Mariabeeld staat, is het dezer dagen aanschuiven geblazen wanneer de sculptuur oplicht. Woensdagavond kwamen 500 mensen opdagen om het gloeien van het beeldje te kunnen zien. De politie moest zelfs snelheidsbeperkingen instellen om het verkeer niet te laten ontregelen.
Donderdag telde burgemeester Michel Fransolet meer dan 1000 geïnteresseerden. Het gehele weekend wordt er nog een grote toestroom van bezoekers verwacht. Uit respect voor de eigenaars wordt gevraagd de bezoekuren tussen 19 en 21 uur te respecteren.
Het bisdom Luik stuurt een priester naar het dorpje voor een diepgaand onderzoek. De kerk wil de feiten officieel niet erkennen, maar in tegenspraak met de boodschap van het evangelie is het oplichten alvast niet, aldus bisschop Jean-Pierre Delville. Het gemeentebestuur vraagt de oprichting van een comité van experts om het fenomeen te onderzoeken.
De krant La Dernière Heure slaagde erin een eigen oplichtende Maria te maken met gietklei en een fluorescerende acryllak. Het effect kwam erg dicht in de buurt van de Maria van Jalhay, aldus de krant. Chemicus Mark Van Der Auweraer van de KU Leuven denkt dat fotoluminescentie de meest waarschijnlijke verklaring is voor het oplichtende beeld.
Ook volgens professor natuurkunde Pasquale Nardone is er niets bijzonders aan het beeldje. Na jarenlang stof en nicotine te hebben vergaard is het onlangs eens afgestoft en ‘werkt’ het nu weer, zo is de gedachte.
UFO Compilation Of Sightings Reported This Past 12 Months. This is just made to sit and have a cup of tea-coffee and relax. Nothing More! I thought of adding music but have bad choosing skills lol, so its all bare footage, some swear words! Caution.
PHOTO OF A CLOSE ENCOUNTER IN ELLICOTT CITY MARYLAND
MARCH 12, 2014 …. ELLICOTT CITY MARYLAND
I was awakened at 2:38 a.m on 3/12/14 by a sound like my cellphone ring but it was only five notes. I opened my eyes and there was an image, about 2′x3′ on the wall in front of me. It was obviously bamboo trunks and leaves. The image faded to black in about 3 seconds. This has happened before with other images, like forest scenes. These wake-up calls are usually accompanied by craft being sited outside my window. This time my blinds were open. I rolled over and there was a very large star-like object (as big or larger than Venus or Jupiter.) Every amateur astronomer with even a 70 power scope knows how fast the moon and stars are moving up there. You have to keep adjusting your telescope constantly or the object drifts right out of our field of view in a few seconds. Knowing this, I positioned my view so that the bright object was against the window frame and waited. The object did not move for 10 minutes. After that, the angle started to increase from 45º to about 50º which was the opposite direction from the moon (which was visible and which decreased its angle during the time the bright object was both stationary and moving in a retrograde motion from Earth’s rotation.) I determined then to get my Nikon D7100 camera and do a telephoto long exposure shot, sort of thinking aloud, “If you don’t want me to photograph you, you can leave before I get back with the camera.” It did not leave. I held the camera against the glass and window frame and took the shot. The camera automatically did a 2 or 3 second exposure. I will attempt to upload the full resolution photo. It appears to have captured some detail, not just a sparkle as would be the case with Venus or Jupiter since I only have a 200mm optical telephoto zoom on the camera. I have had more than 20 sightings since the first during the Phoenix lights flap. This is the first time I have ever attempted to take a picture of any of them.
Rather than pontificate about my personal experiences during abductions, I herein submit what already long exists in the public record:
According to Dr. Gregory Little, a psychologist and UFO researcher/author, Steiger, [cited in] Blue Book Files Released in Canadian UFO Report, Vol. 4, No. 4, 1977, p. 20
"We are part of a symbiotic relationship with something which disguises itself as an extra-terrestrial invasion so as not to alarm us."
-Terrence McKenna [from a lecture] "One theory which can no longer be taken very seriously is that UFOs are solely interstellar spaceships."
- Arthur C. Clarke, New York Times Book Review, 07/27/75
"There seems to be no evidence yet that any of these craft or beings originate from outer space."
-Gordon Creighton, Official 1992 Flying Saucer Review Policy Statement:
"A large part of the available UFO literature is closely linked with mysticism and the metaphysical. It deals with subjects like mental telepathy, automatic writing and invisible entities as well as phenomena like poltergeist [ghost] manifestation and 'possession.'
"I'm not at liberty to discuss the governments knowledge of extraterrestrial UFO's at this time. I am still personally being briefed on the subject!" --President Richard M. Nixon
"I think about how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And I ask you, does not this threat alread exsist?" --President Ronald Reagen UN address
"The US Airforce assures me that UFO's pose no threat to National Security.." --President John F Kennedy
"I strongly recommend that there be a committee investigation of the UFO phenomena. I think we owe it to the people to establish credibility regarding UFOs and to produce the greatest possible enlightenment on this subject" --President Gerald Ford (1966)
"Extraterrestrial contact is a real phenomenon. The Vatican is receiving much information about extraterrestrials and their contacts with humans from its Nuncios (embassies) in various countries, such as Mexico, Chile and Venezuela." -- Monsignor Corrado Balducci As stated 5 different times on Italian TV** (Vatican theologian insider close to the Pope,Monsignor Balducci said that he is on a Vatican commission looking into extraterrestrial encounters, and how to cope with the emerging general realization of extraterrestrial contact.)
"Given the millions of billions of Earth-like planets, life elsewhere in the Universe without a doubt, does exist. In the vastness of the Universe we are not alone." --Albert Einstein
"The evidence points to the fact that Roswell was a real incident and that indeed an alien craft did crash, and that material was recovered from that site. We all know that UFOs are real.All we need to ask is where do they come from, and what do they want?" --Capt. Edgar Mitchell Apollo 14 Astronaut
"In my mind, there is no question that they're out there. My Career is well established. My texts books are required reading in all the major capitals on planet earth. If you want to become a physicist to learn about the unified field theory-you read my books. Therefore, I'm in a position to say: Yes- Most likely they're out their, perhaps even visited, perhaps on our moon. - ABC News Quote -- -- Professor Dr. Michio Kaku
"We must insist upon full access to disks recovered. For instance, in the La case the Army grabbed it and would not let us have it for cursory examination." --J Edgar Hoover
I feel that the Air Force has not been giving out all the available information on the Unidentified Flying Objects. You cannot disregard so many unimpeachable sources." -- John W. McCormack, Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States. January (1965)
"UFO sightings are now so common, the military doesn't have time to worry about them - so they screen them out. The major defense systems have UFO filters built into them, and when a UFO appears, they simply ignore it." --Lee Katchen (former atmospheric physicist with NASA)
"Let there be no doubt. Alien technology harvested from the infamous saucer crash in Roswell, N.Mex., in July 1947 led directly to the development of the integrated circuit chip, laser and fiber optic technologies, Particle beams, Electromagnetic propulsion systems, Depleted uranium projectiles, Stealth capabilities, and many others! How do I know? I was in charge! (A matter of public record)I think the kids on this planet are wise to the truth, and I think we ought to give it to them. I think they deserve it.' --Colonel Philip Corso
Army Intelligence officer, former head of the Foreign Technology at the U.S. Army's Research and Development department at the Pentagon, and
four years director of intelligence on President Eisenhower's White House National Security Staff
Dans le même ordre d'idées que pour la discussion à la Bibliothèque du Congrès (cf mon 0831), on suivra avec intérêt l'interview par Popular Mechanics de Seth Shostak, astronome-en-chef du programme SETI :
"La recherche de l'intelligence extraterrestre : ce n'est que le début" À la question "Que pensez-vous de ce silence radio ?", Seth répond : Saying there's a silence is a bit like if Columbus, looking to discover a new continent, only sailed 10 miles off the coast of Spain before turning back to say, "Nothing out there!, "Parler de silence est un peu comme si Colomb, parti à la découverte du Nouveau Monde, avait soudain rebroussé chemin vers l'Espagne au bout de seulement quelques km, en s'écriant "il n'y a rien là-bas !"
The Search for Aliens Is Just Getting Started
Seth Shostak, SETI senior astronomer, tells PopMech why it's no surprise our search for alien life has so far come up empty—and why, if there really is intelligent life out there, we'll find it within the next few decades.
MyLoupe/UIG via Getty Images
Question : Over the past 50 years, several SETI projects have scoured the cosmos but have yet to turn up anything conclusive. What do you make of this cosmic radio-silence?
Answer :A lot of people do think of and refer to this as a silence, but I certainly don't. Because of the limitations in equipment and money, we've carefully explored very little of the sky. Yes, the first SETI experiment was done more than a half century ago, but you probably have to look at a few million star systems at very high sensitivity before you score a success. We haven't carefully examined anywhere near that number—a few thousand at most.
The thing to keep in mind is that we're still in the very early days when it comes to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Saying there's a silence is a bit like if Columbus, looking to discover a new continent, only sailed 10 miles off the coast of Spain before turning back to say, "Nothing out there! I guess that whole exploration gig isn't going to work out."
Question : Still, you've said before that we'll likely find some evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence within the next two decades. What makes you so confident?
Answer: If you're trying to determine when we're going to succeed with SETI, that really depends on only two questions. First, how many societies are out there broadcasting signals strong enough for you to find? And second, how quickly are you examining these star systems to find them?
My guess that we'll succeed in the next two decades is based on the fact that with improvements in digital electronics and computers—which are getting better and cheaper, following Moore's law—we will be continually sifting through the sky faster. And you can extrapolate how fast we'll be able to search, assuming we have the money, in the next decade or two.
As for the number of civilizations out there—how many needles are we looking for in this haystack—now that we don't know. But there are certainly thoughtful guesses, including those made by people like Frank Drake and Carl Sagan. And if you just look at the range of guesses, then this is where I've come to the conclusion that, if this experiment is well founded, if the ideas of SETI are legitimate in the sense that they make sense and this is realistic, then it's going to succeed rather quickly if it's going to succeed at all.
Question : What exactly are we looking for?
Answer : A lot of people assume we're looking for complex patterns in radio signals, like the value of pi, a list of prime numbers, or the Fibonacci [sequence]. But what we're really looking for is just any radio signal that some sort of transmitter could have made—one that's restricted to a very narrow band of frequencies. This is because the cosmos makes a lot of radio waves and other noise, but those are all over the dial, which is a sign of bad engineering, because you're wasting a lot of energy. We're looking for something that is, so to speak, carefully manicured.
Now there are also other SETI experiments looking for other types of signals beyond those made of radio waves, particularly very short flashes of visible light. That makes sense because light and radio both cost more or less the same amount of energy per bit of information when you're sending a signal.
Admittedly, these are not the only way to do SETI. You could also just build a number of very large telescopes to look for signs of astroengineering. That would be expensive and very difficult, but perfectly legitimate. I also get emails all the time from people saying that we should be looking for gravity waves, or using neutrino detectors, and lots of other ideas. But it seems to me—because of the cost and the fact that we know it works—looking for radio signals and other electromagnetic communication is the way to go.
Question : Last week NASA practically doubled the number of known exoplanets. Will this affect where we search through the cosmos?
Answer :Oh yes, and I think that the biggest change is this. In the past, people spent a lot of time putting together lists of star systems they thought were the best candidates to search for signals. And those were systems that had stars like the sun, and stars that weren't too young. But now we're learning that you can pretty much forget those lists, because essentially all stars have planets. And in terms of which ones have planets that are hospitable for life, we still don't know exactly, but it's beginning to look like a fairly high percentage. The preliminary numbers are somewhere between 10 and 30 percent.
Question : It takes time for light to travel, so looking out into space is also looking back in time. Won't any intelligence or civilization we discover be ancient or even long gone?
Answer :Well, it kind of doesn't matter. I studied Latin in high school, and I was reading stuff from Cicero. And that signal took a few thousand years to get to me. But I was still interested in what he had to say. Also, keep in mind that if there are a lot of intelligent societies out there right now, tens or hundreds of thousands, then the nearest ones could be just a couple hundred light-years away. Of course, even that distance means you're not going to get into conversation.
Question : What if we do find a signal? What happens?
Answer : A lot of people in this country assume that it'd be kept quiet, because "the public couldn't handle it," or something like that. And we know that's wrong, because the media has been all over every false alarm we've ever had.
What would we learn? Well, in the beginning, maybe not much. If you're getting information from a society that's more advanced than ours—and they might be much more advanced than ours—it strikes me as uncertain that we might ever really understand anything. Actually comprehending the message could be hard, and we might never figure it out.
But forget the message. Just knowing that there's somebody else out there—that what's happened on this planet has also happened in many other places—that might change our lives in a very subtle way, but it's interesting to know and worth looking for.
