Mile wide glowing orange sky-Jesus...or something.

There was no Jesus in that article. Anywhere.

"People wonder what in the world it is because this is the Bible Belt, and everyone is afraid it's the end of times," said Steve Allen

and trying to make a controversal title to get people riled up so much that they'll post on this thread thinking it's another one of them religious threads that is populating the forum of late.

my question is, in this day and age where people record police actions and other things with their cell phone and digital cameras... why isn't there any of these lights?

"It feels good to hear that other people saw something, because that means I'm not crazy."

O Rly?

I lol at you.

Hurray for mass insanity :p

I second the utter lack of jesus comment though. What was that about Andaluciae?

Junii pointed it out.

Would USAF interceptors actually chase a flying Jesus thingy?

Man I think the UFO are invading. :eek:

I for once welcome our Extraterrestrial Overlord!

Maybe the flying Jesus thingy was chasing them.

Trying to "save them" maybe?

@junii
because this is the countryside. People don't neccesarily have mobile phones with cameras, and certainly won't have cameras readily available. Last time there was a UFO sighting in a city, it was caught on camera. I think it was San Antonio or something. I can't remember, I'm no expert in the subject.

My guess is that the american government is working on various prototypes, that are being massively exagerated by people who see them.

It is probally a goverment coverup on a new airplane. Thjis wouldn't be the first time they have covered up new palnes for the military as UFO's

Junii pointed it out.

so is my reasoning also correct? :p

I can see it now in the headlines.

Jesus shot down over Texas!

I can see an Onion article out of this. :p

I love the descriptions of the unlikely things that it must have been to explain the noted observation " its such and such and seen as a triple reflection off of two crafts flying perpendicular on Thursdays". In the old days they just called it swamp gas and stuck with it.

"Air Force shoots down Messiah -- film at 11."

EDIT: Damn, someone beat me to it.

don't forget the ever-popular 'Weather Balloon' excuse.

Technically, you don't really have to cover something up by pretending it is a UFO. Unless the people know what they were looking at, it's a UFO.

People forget that little fact. Same thing goes for the religious that believe in God. By God's nature he would be an Alien! :eek:

Yeah I said God was an Alien.

Jesus was an extraterrestrial. Obviously. :p


Really though, it can be as simple as light reflections and mass hysteria, or the genuine article. Let's go for the Occam's Razor solution and be done with it.

Not so much then, perhaps, a flying "Jesus" thingy as much as a flying "Cthulu" or "Spaghetti Monster" thingy. *nods*

Yeah I said God was an Alien.

That might just explain the penchant for anal investigations by some of the more ornate of its so called "followers" ...

Umm, I don't know...

Nope, not a clue, he certainly wasn't abducted by Aliens and Anal probe, No siree!

Whatever evidence un"earthed" about severe gang-anal probing, the fact remains, there's nothing to see here but swamp gas and exploding frogs.

Uncle Bob always claimed he was abducted and experimented upon by aliens.
The aliens, ofcourse, denied everything.

I want to smoke what they're smoking.

Wouldn't they be drinking Moonshine, or is Moonshine just in the Appalachians mountains?

Jesus is Cthugha?

Nah, Moonshine is everywhere I believe.

I get it.

Doesn't everybody?

Huge orange thing in the sky? Was it the sun by any chance?



Also, wtf? There's a Dublin in Texas?

Especially if you take into account that 14% of americans says they have seen an UFO. Why isn't there any proof for them then?

Yeah ... where *is* Intestinal Fluids in our dire hour, anyway?

I just flew back from Jupiter, and boy are my arms tired. <Badabum>

Yep. And a Paris, too, and an Odessa for that matter.

That doesn't beat Ohio. Here you can drive across Africa and The Orient in between Columbus and Cincinnati.

Someone was apparently lacking in originality when they were naming things in Texas.

You should have a look at a state map of Illinois:
