Serge--I want to thank you for mentioning the fireball over Michigan and putting a date on it. I saw it. It remains an indelible memory, but until now it was always something that happened "when I was a kid." On that date I was ten years old and living in Ann Arbor. A friend and I were riding our bikes when it went overhead. It was red, yellow and white and about the size of a full moon in the sky. What's more, we heard it-- making a pffft sound as it went. I don't recall a sonic boom, but there may well have been one. We were foolish enough to think if we rode our bikes in the direction it was traveling we would find it. That didn't happen of course, but we knew then, and I know now, that what we saw was a meteor. I've told the story a few times over the years, and I've always kind of hoped to see another one that spectacular, but so far no luck.

Before you posted about the fireball, I was going to add my two cents to the debate by quoting Arthur C. Clarke's "third law": "Technology sufficiently advanced seems like magic." I think we should never underestimate the power of human imagination.

I have a friend who works for JPL and is involved with the Mars rovers. I asked him once, "Have you found life on Mars yet, or are you keeping it a secret?" He said, "We wouldn't keep it a secret. It would be worth billions in additional funding!"

Tom it wouldn’t be NASA if they didn’t change their story. In December 2005, just before the 40th anniversary of the Kecksburg incident, NASA released a statement reporting that experts had examined metallic fragments from the area and determined they were from a Russian satellite that re-entered the atmosphere and broke up, but records of their findings were lost in the 1990s. Only to change their minds in the later years since the trajectory was not consistent with a satellite when pushed and prodded with the more modern knowledge of such things.

So what was it really? I guess we will never really know.

As far as mars goes, I think it’s all but settled that there was life on Mars. It’s no coincidence we are so interested in Mars. Of course if you recall we were told just the opposite a few decades ago with NASA claiming it was nothing but a dead planet, it never had any water or signs of life of any kind. Wait another decade or perhaps less this time around, they will discover microbes and all kinds of life under the surface. Where there is methane, there is life. That’s not to mention all the artifacts found on Mars that we are led to believe are nothing more than our eyes tricking us.

There is a Russian prodigy young man who was unusual from birth. Learned to talk and walk way before the normal developmental curve. He started recounting his memories of living on Mars in the previous life at the age of 3. He surprised a few scientists when interviewed with facts about Mars he couldn’t or shouldn’t have known at the age of 6 or 7. Let’s just say we are not going to find life on Mars on the surface... Have to look deeper where the surviving Martian colony really resides. I’ve seen the interviews. Sounds far fetched and impossible? Well, tell that to the parents of kids that have recollections of previous lives with confirmed facts they bring to the conversation. This young man seemed and sounded totally legit to me.

I've seen plenty of interviews in the boy's native language which is Russian. It was a while before this story was picked up and some journalists traveled to Russia to question "Boris" and translated the info into English. Unfortunately there are not many English language videos about this prodigy young man but here is a pretty good one.

It may be a sobering thought and a good video but it’s just a thought... Trust me on that. If today one can wonder if some of the sightings may be experimental craft and amazing technology, 30-50 years ago it was simply not possible. I seriously doubt any country has the technology to achieve what is being described by the pilots and other observers so frequently now. They are here and they’ve been here....

No country has a plasma ball that serves as some refueling station or a portal with craft lined up and entering it one by one to zoom out with speeds exceeding any imagination.... I’ve seen that with my own eyes so to me the videos trying to convince us against the statistical probabilities of the sheer amounts of observable by us galaxies, stars and countless planets being devoid of intelligent life is simply, well, silly....

If the basic elements are the same throughout the universe and we are made of the same basic elements (carbon based life), there is no amount of convincing that could possibly convince me that we are somehow unique and a one in a trillion trillions lucky to be the only ones here. If someone believes it, religion should take precedence over science, probabilities and statistics in the first place....

In the mean time we are spending billions searching and listening for the signs of intelligent life and will continue doing so as they are all around us and making their presence known almost daily.

A good friend of mine made the mistake of sending the videos he captured one summer night to a few local news networks. Of course he never heard back from any of them but instead died of a heart attack in his backyard in a few weeks. He was only 53 and healthy as a horse... Coincidence? Perhaps...

The video he shot captured a glowing sphere that resembled a ball of plasma with mysterious saucer shaped objects lined up and going into the ball of plasma one by one and zooming off at tremendous speed. Recharging station? A portal? Earthly technology? I am sure it wasn't ours... The video was of good enough quality to see some amazing detail.

Poor guy, he didn't listen when I told him NOT to share that. The video was still in his camcorder on tape so he couldn't have doctored it and besides he was a very honest and straight forward guy.

I don't expect that anyone would be looking for me to obtain the tapes since I don't have them...

Serge.......I think the governmental secrecy surrounding verified sightings and actual discovered physical evidence centers on two things, hidden national defense capabilities and astronomical profit for a select few with access to information and technology far beyond human ingenuity. Power and profit.
