What happened to them?

They have been observed since 1940 (or maybe earlier) and been spotted zillion times.

But now I don’t see those black UFO triangles anymore in the news.

So what happened to them? Being kidnapped by other UFOs?

Looks like a US spyplane to me.

nothing happened to THEM. what happened was to "the news".

ufos don't sell post toasties and the corporate media isn't going to entertain us with anything unless it either does, or contributes to the corporate mafia's political entrenchment.

ufos don't matter anyway either, because the're either joyriding alien brats, or alien anthropologist. sort of "move along, nothing to see here".

besides the only time you see them is when their cloaking devices malfunction, and since we don't know how to fix them for them ...
(although the day might come when we do, maybe it already has, but i don't think joe's garage can get the parts)

Oh snap.

Now reality is getting glitches and missing polygons too.

That's not good.

What happened to them?
Dunno about the strange black triangles with lights... I sure know a lot of strange other polygons with lights.

Yes. Train signals.

I'd be willing to bet they were experimental aircraft that have been discontinued for a better model. Still, sixty years is a good run for a design...

The development of the F16 started in 1965 and in 1973 it was airborne. Little later armies around the world ordered their F16s.

I don't think that, since the 40ties, some country is building an amazing plane but not, yet, is releasing it.

i believe the objects in question were supposed to have behaved in ways airfoils are inherently incapable of, whatever resemblance they might otherwise have born.

Always strikes me that the people involved have been at the ol' moonshine too much.

Back then we had strange black triangles, now we have Anon.

Cool, a UFO thread. I've seen a few ufos never very close though. About five times overall ... All of the sightings were just past the west arm of Shawnigan lake BC (Vancouver Island). Once I saw one much closer up than usual. It was hovering over the high tension power lines and I could vaguely make out a sort of oval shape - it looked metallic but was faintly glowing. I watched if for a while then if hovered off over the trees and the shot up and was gone in less than a second. All the others were much further away so I couldn't make out any details but they also took off really f'ing fast one they decide to go. I don't blame anyone if you don't believe me but I'm hoping someone here might have also seen one!

The aliens are getting waxed, so no more alien pubes in the sky.

I did once, it happened 35 years ago. I was sailing with my father at the North Sea, 40 km from the coast and at the evening fall, we saw an object rotating and flying in our direction. It had several rotating red lights. We both felt weird about it. But later my dad said it was probably a helicopter or something. We never talked about it again till three years ago. I talked about that UFO experience, but he said he couldn’t remember anything.

In my memory, the picture of the object is still very sharp. It looked like a kind of rotating satellite.

But that doesn't mean that I really saw an alien vehicle. I know that memories are not trustable and that I later could have added 'details' which were not there.

maybe its because they retired the original stealth bomber...

Always strikes me that the people involved have been at the ol' moonshine too much.

Well I have a UFO/alien book some where around basically talking about the possible existence of aliens and UFO's and the history of them. In one part of the book it mentioned one of these sightings of what BK is talking about, it was over Amsterdam (or some large Dutch town) and many people including police officers all saw a large black triangle move over the sky.

No rotating lights for me. I forgot to mention that once I also saw a helicopter going really fast in the same direction just afterwards. Mabey Canadian Mil chasing a blip on their radar? (Not the one time I got a good look though.)

Yes, they were popular in the beginning 90ties in Belgium and Holland.

I remember that a Belgian F16 chased one and that policemen saw them too.

"The Belgian Air Force scrambled F-16s to pursue the craft once it was spotted on ground radar systems. The fighter pilots and radar operators reported that the object would dart ahead at incredible speeds every time they finally had a radar lock on it. One pilot reported the object's speed at over 900 knots. After nine confirmed target locks the object finally vanished from their screens."

Well, I can think of a country that could have developed it that ceased to exist in 1989...

Yeah that was it Belguim not Holland damn wrong counrty but that was the incident I was talking about.

Uhu. Yes, but then we should know about it or the development is still going on. And those Triangles vanished from the news.

How the fuck they run on time then?

Blah, you're a mac fanboy. We don't want to know about your other delusions:tongue:

They're still out there, if you listen to Coast to Coast AM, you hear about them all the time. Last sighting was in 2008 in Stephenville, Texas.

Hey - didn't you see independence day? Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum brought down that alien mother ship with a Virus. Clearly the Aliens were defeated because they too use Microsoft products and didn't you notice that they uploaded the virus with a powerbook running OS 8.6 - well I noticed.

besides, I'm more of a Linux hacker anyways. I only use a Mac at work.

Last one that happened down my neck of the woods (well, out in the countryside, rather than central Bristol) was observed by a bunch of guys who'd been drinking cider all afternoon in a field.

Obviously it was a hugely slow news day, as the fact they'd all been drinking was glossed over by the news programme and they were reporting it seriously.

Admittedly, the thing which somewhat holes my argument is that a police helicopter followed it for a bit and some RAF fighters were scrambled when it popped up on RADAR, although the latter couldn't actually find it, if I remember the story correctly.

simple, that was WAAAAAYYY Back in the 40's. I would think by now, they would be flying things that are more up-to-date. you rarely see 1940's cars on the roads nowadays.

Bloody Tobleronians...

Back then we had strange black triangles, now we have Anon.

Anon can't fly.






Or can they.........

maybe they realized how stupid a flying triangle is as a form of transport (Michal Jackson may also want the media to calm down a bit before risking another court case)

sci-fi seems to do quite well at the box office :p

why fix those who violate our airspace? I'd say given the objects regularity we could just work out a method to shoot them down (maybe we could create a strong ground based magnetic field and simply throw them at the Earth?)

then we begin the gang probing!

Bloody Tobleronians...

Perhaps the US Government has given up on this baby

It seems pretty understandable, given the shift toward unmanned spy planes.

SNIP

omg the USAF has managed to create aircraft from nothing more than late 90's computer graphics!

Its the jewish Nazis.

Or perhaps that doesn't really matter, considering it doesn't seem to have any way to hover. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that almost definitely does not look like a VTOL aircraft.

Didn't you know? Anon are the agents of the evil Marcabians, that are hell-bent on the destruction of Tom Cruise's e-meters and other redefined sextoys.

I'm sure it's the Swiss. Never trust a country known for secure banking and strange cheese.

*whispers to himself*: I think they're onto us...

I don't blame anyone if you don't believe me but I'm hoping someone here might have also seen one!Twice, in consecutive years.
I'm being strict in the "Unidentified" part. I'm not claiming aliens, per se, so much as noting that no one involved was able to identify them.

Chickens?

Chickens?If they were on fire at an altitude of a few hundred feet, burning a peculiar colour for chickens, and flicking off the power grid for the entire town, with police and a Subaru chasing them, then i guess so. I'm not likely to ever have an answer ... one of the absolute best parts about witnessing these kinds of things.

*whispers to himself*: I think they're onto us...

Well, it was the ingenious pocket knives with all the tools inside that proved the case for me. Only aliens could engineer something like that. *nods*

Always strikes me that the people involved have been at the ol' moonshine too much.

there ARE exceptions to this, though there is somewhat of a statistical corrilary.

them ufo folks sure do make some good joy juce. out where i used to live sometimes they'd land in a known 'shiner's lower 40 and they'd sit around and swap recipies for a while.

simple, that was WAAAAAYYY Back in the 40's. I would think by now, they would be flying things that are more up-to-date. you rarely see 1940's cars on the roads nowadays.

I don't know. What's 40 years for aliens? Maybe they have another feeling with time. Unless they watched 'Pimp my UFO' on Alien TV, I don't think it is making any difference.

Besides, those triangles were still popular a decade ago.

The triangles only showed up to fight the particles. The triangles won, and therefore left.

See that thing in the picture with the German Barrage Balloon? Proof, I tell you, that the Nazis were working with aliens from beyond the moon. Actually it's probably a glider or something.

Magical 1-ton chickens?Well, they don't have to be magical, so much as extremely skilled at flapping their wings enough to not only get them to that height, but to hold them there relatively stable, while still being on fire.
That's the whole problem, ya gotta deduct the fanciful from the probable.

You want PROOF that the nazis were working with aliens? Well, I give you proof.
