Prediction for the coming Eclipse:

It makes sense that the aliens use the cover of eclipses as opportunities to perform their customary activities undetected. In that case we should expect some mutilated cattle, disconcerted pilots, unexplained scorch marks, messages of peace delivered via unreliable witnesses, and maybe a few abductions/probings.

I suspect that "missing time" experiences will be particularly common, especially among people waiting for hours for totality with their coolers full of adult beverages during the heat of midday.

Thanks for the warning!

Governments use the remote nature of small sightings to dismiss them.

If E.T's 'wanted' to be known they'd take the stage when many people are all looking skyward, as to bypass government denial...just a hunch.

Sightings increase with astronomical events.

Assuming you believe even 20% of this lark, then UFO's appear every other week, and don't seem to mind whether they're "known" about or not.

"Bypass government denial?" Is this something they're aware of? Fascinating.
 
He may have a point. In a culture where more and more people are buying into staggering stupidity like the flat earth movement, I'm sure there will be drooling troglodytes who will insist that they see all sorts of fantastic things. Why struggle to understand something genuinely amazing that doesn't really have anything to do with you when you can wish into being something that makes you feel especially important and gifted?

No doubt, it doesn't take much to get the maroons out in in full force.

Well, I have seen "star-like objects move with a constant velocity and make right angle turns."

I surmise these were non-human piloted vehicles of some sort.

That said, I do not believe in aliens, but rather a pre-modern civilization capable of space flight, that escaped earth's last great cataclysm, 'into the heavens.'

If they wanted to be known, they could just show up in any major city. Or a sporting event. Or anywhere with lots of people. During the day.

The idea that they would wait for an eclipse if the wanted to be known is ridiculous.

Peer skyward during the eclipse if you seek evidence.

If not remain in the dark. :)
 
U.F.O.s are a bit of a stretch. More likely the eclipse will trigger the coming out of a new breed of mutant superhumans, the next stage in human evolution.

I'm thinking opening ceremonies at the Olympics...

The evidence for all of this is surely lacking, though, right?

We can speculate until the cows (or Nerfs, if you're Star Wars enclined) come home, but it's just that, speculation.

Speculation doesn't amount to much.

Yeah, but the chances of someone seeing something that they can pretend is a UFO during an eclipse is far greater than the chance of an actual UFO ever dropping down in London. This is how the believers keep believing.

That's right! The CHUDS will run wild in the darkness! I hadn't thought about that.

No. You have seen no such thing.

You simply made that up on the basis of fat air.

And you made that up out of whole cloth also.

It took 'us' less than 100 years to go from Kitty Hawk to Armstrong on the moon. How long have humans been on the earth in this form?

Actual 'Aliens' from another world would find us far too barbaric to mess with, not to mention no warp drive...

The mostly likely conclusion to what I saw was 'advance earth technology,' unknown to me.

That displays a total disregard for science and logic, not to mention common sense.

This is the kind of fast-food thinking that brought us such hilarious shows as Ancient Aliens.

Do you also view Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids as being out of the realms of human ability?

We also went from the Commodore to X-Box One in a relatively short amount of time. I wonder whether that was brought about by alien technology, too.

You might as well speculate that they'd be put off by our taste in music, it holds about as much ground as what you speculated.

Or:

a) You were mistaken.

b) You were drunk.

c) You're telling porky pies.
 
KotA, do "UFO"s appear every time there is a solar eclipse? There have been 17 solar eclipses since 2010, with the 18th due next week - so why aren't we groaning under the weight of footage of these UFOs taken from these eclipses? Not just shaky camera-phone footage, but from all the news cameras that record eclipses.

What is special for these UFOs about the solar eclipse next week that wasn't special about any previous eclipse?

Do you expect these UFOs to appear during lunar eclipses too?
