Pub-goer's disbelief as he captures picture of two UFOs flying at speed over commuter town..

[Little Star]

A pair of mysterious fast-moving discs of light have been pictured in the skies over the Berkshire town of Bracknell.

Steve Lambert, 42, was making a phone call outside the town's Running Horse Pub when he spotted the UFOs at 8pm on Friday.

The driving instructor from Basingstoke, Hampshire, said: 'I was drinking with my girlfriend and her son.'

He added: 'I went outside to make a phone call when something caught my attention.

1. Why is an "unidentified flying object" always construed to be an alien craft?

Just because most people don't know what it could be, they exclude it as being human-made? Has an aeronautics engineer ever reported seeing a UFO? Probably not, because this sort of individual has the capacity to comprehend what is possible with modern engineering.

An examination of this mental phenomena, the desire explain anything one doesn't understand as not understandable could explain the success of the conspiracy theories popular with the likes of Beck and Limbaugh fans.

Of course, this is the Daily Mail and its general readership is composed of people looking for salacious thrills.

2. The same way they always know its speed without knowing its size, distance, or altitude

In other words, they pull it out of their ass

3. Exactly my point, assthinking always makes the news.

I guess it is something most people can relate to. Probably because it is so easy and everybody has one. Also, scientific sounding embellishment is a key tool in making crap believable. But of course that scientific stream of thought never goes deep enough to actually analyze the object itself, that would ruin the all of the fun

5. Not always and not often enough nt

4. Dummies.

It's obviously the dead ex-pope flying around curing disease ridden nuns.

6. R'd for your courage...

7. Do you believe they could be alien spacecraft?

It's OK if you do of course, but I would be interested to hear why.

8. Hmm

I don't know if they are or they aren't. But Little Star risks being laughed at for posting them. It takes more courage to say you believe in ET's than to deny they exist.

I do believe in the long term presence of ET on the earth. Too many unexplained references to them in the Bible, cave drawings, paintings, folklore, pilot sightings, human sightings, pictures, all religions, etc. It takes less to believe that some of these exist than to believe that none of them do.

9. Posting things like this in Creative Speculation is accepted and expected.

I just wondered if you had experienced something personally

[fadedrose]

10. No

I have a instinct that tells me that they exist, but instinct isn't proof. I guess it's something like birds who migrate - sometimes their instincts are wrong, mostly not, but something tells them what to do.

It's in my nature to believe in ET's, flawed maybe, but it's not taught or learned from anything personal.

11. I have a friend who also believes in their existence

But then she doesn't believe in psychic phenomena. With some issues like aliens or psychic phenomena you tend to have most people on one side or the other, not too many in the middle.
