UFO's. What's your take on them?

Here's what Ray Mears does, for all those who don't know

When Roy Jackson wrote "Ray Spears tale about seeing bright, silentl lights, in the sky while on the night shift, reminded me of an incident....etc." do you think he made a typo and meant Ray Stear, referring to the posting above?

Yes, sorry for the confusion, I should have said Stear instead of Spear,

Again Sorry,

Regards Roy J

Well, we got there in the end. Fascinating story, Roy. The highlight for me was your description of the night sky:

Eventually the whole of the sky was like a black velvet cloth sprinkled with minute diamonds, the milky way was a misty arch spreading across the heavens.

I have yet to witness such a sight as we suffer badly (as all cities do) from night light pollution.

You know I have tried to figure out for years on end...Why England?.. for the crop circles, though mid-Canada has had them also, but when you consider the world in general it makes you wonder why they pick out certain places. The first tid-bit I picked up on concerning what I thought was "orbs" was way back when, an priest/hermit, supposedly living where they picked up the bluestones from Stonehedge near Wales. I know that England is rich in it's Ley lines and geomancy in general though. Threre's been some slgiht hints of an Giza like Pyramid under the water north of England, that there are such postioned around the world in general that were at one time "stations" for "operating" the earth, but it's only been once on that one and so long ago. I think that had to do with the Ambulic Web site that Linda Molton Howe use to belong to and report on, she does weird and unexpalined news, and she ussually does all the crop circles also. She goes over there for first hand reports. I have my own thoughts though about some of the things that are said about them. I've heard the English ones were caught on film as two small orbs flying about making them one night...not at all like the Phoenix Lights UFO's that I've heard of twice now, being an little over one mile in size, I don't think we have air flight technology to make something that big and fly sliently over an whole city of people...while they were watching. I consider that incident as important as the crop circle phenomen.

"Which do you think is nearest to us, the moon or Florida?" one asked the other.

 "Hello - can you see Florida from here"
