Youth and UFOs Why is it that teenagers no longer seem to get involved in looking for UFOs, as we did when we were young? Your ideas are welcomed, and we'd like to also hear from those under 21, if they're listening.

Well there you go then ... shows why he is a living (well he probably is living ... just ) legend.

Anyway ... on with your featured presentation:

At what age did you become interested in UFOs??

Me?? Probably when I saw UFO (Gerry Anderson prog) in the early 70s when I was a small child. It then was reinforced when I saw something odd in the sky when I was in Primary School during the "Welsh Triangle" flap.

So ... get them young, and they'll grow up to be Ufolofans

Jayne,

So I'd like to know, you can give us some details regarding your experiences?

I was a fan of sci-fi and horror films from as far back as I remember. If you had asked me if I believe in aliens from other planets, I would have probably said "sure," but I didn't really dwell on the issue. I didn't put 2 and 2 together that strange events myself, and other family members, had experienced over the years were connected to the UFO phenomenon until I had an incredible sighting sometime around the summer of '92...I would have been 20...that's when UFO's went from being a casual interest to a probably unhealthy obsession. We lived across the street from a cemetery, and as a child I thought ghosts were behind some of these incidents. I may be making connections where none exist, but it seems to me that whatever is behind UFO's is intimately related to ghosts/poultergeists, telepathy and other psychic phenomenon, possibly Bigfoot (I didn't see a Bigfoot, but I heard something very big and very scary right after a friend and I had a telepathic experience ...it actually jumped on the roof of a barn we were in!), synchronicities, and all sorts of assorted high weirdness...time/space anomolies, shadow animals, midgets in teddy-bear suits, a top-hatted magician in the middle of nowhere at night, etc... The appearance of strange flying objects is really one of the more mundane manifestations of whatever the hell is really going on.

Skunkape,
I totally agree with your last statement! It sounds like you live in the twilight zone too.

Don't let it gnaw on you, man. I think it's possible that Buddha and H.P. Lovecraft were having similar experiences...If you fear it, it will seem scary...If you worship it, it will give you bliss. If you ignore it, it ignores you.

It hard to ignore that is why i come back, i am just like everybody on this site, we love to get some answers but that seems so distant but i guess you need to have hope rather then faith because i believe hope is more of a human quality rather then faith which is more supernatural.
