[Truth]

what do you think about these mysteries?

UFO's -
Aliens -
Bermuda Triangle -
Who Built the Pyramids in Egypt -
Atlantis -
Ghosts -
Time Traveling -
Big Foot -
Loch Ness Monster -
Did we go to the moon? -
Face on Mars -

UFO's - They have Aliens in them

Aliens - They are in Ufo's and the goverment is covering it up.

Bermuda Triangle - Dunno exactly something to do with Atlantis.

Who Built the Pyramids in Egypt - Aliens

Atlantis - In the atlantic ocean and sunk into the ocean.

Ghosts - There out there......

Time Traveling - I never really thought about this until i heard it discussed on Artbell(Artbell is a radio show every night about the unexplained) Artbell had a scientist on talking about how it could be possible to be able to time travel..... I dont think there is any time traveling now... maybe in the future there will be...

Big Foot - another Creature we havn't discovered

Loch Ness Monster - Fake

Did we go to the moon? - Nope, They had a special on Fox about this awhile ago.... Main clue is that in the video of the astronauts on the moon it shows them sticking a flag into the moon and the flag is waving when there is no air on the moon.

Face on Mars- Created by Aliens a few hundred years ago......

What do you all think of this? If you are interested in these sort of mysteries you can go to artbell.com and check out his site and listen to his radio program..... he has video on his site from someone who got into Area 51 with a video camera and got back out without being noticed and he posted a clip from the video on his site(Clip shows some kind of doctors tending to an Alien) Anyway respond all!

Interesting topic. Here's what I think, can't wait to see others' replies.

UFO's - Well UFO's are simply unidentified objects, which of course exist. However, I am not so sure if aliens are buzzing by our planet all the time. I do believe some stories, but others are patently ridiculous.

Aliens - I believe they exist, somewhere. If you believe the idea that our universe is infinite and expanding, I simply don't see how we could be the only planet where life evolved. But as I said I don't believe they are visiting us all the time, and I only believe about 5% of the abduction stories I've heard. And I don't believe there is other life in our solar system.

Bermuda Triangle - Don't really know much about this one, but I believe it is something that can be explained scientifically. There are many interesting theories out there that sound pretty plausible.

Who Built the Pyramids in Egypt - PEOPLE! Personally I think it's quite absurd to think aliens built them because those cultures were "primitive" and mankind is unable to build structures like that. I think that is ridiculous. It is entirely possible that we simply can't imagine how they were built because we don't work in stone like that anymore. We have so many machines to aid in our back-breaking work that our minds have atrophied when it comes to how we could have built the pyramids. But more plausible theories emerge all the time about how it could have been done. I think we need to give our ancestors credit on this one. Besides, if aliens built them then they built a whole lot of other crap on our planet too, like the ziggurats of the Mayas and Aztecs, like half the anicient wonders of the world, and others. People used to think that aliens built Stonehenge too, but some people in England did this test or whatever, they actually erected some stones the same size as at Stonehenge and did it only with the stone, themselves, and wood. That to me is pretty convincing evidence that these things aren't miracles or aliens messing with our planet.

Atlantis - I don't really know anything about it. I think it was probably simply a city that got buried under the sea, much like LA could be one day, if it breaks off in an earthquake or something. Not much of a mystery there.

Ghosts - I whole-heartedly believe in ghosts.

Time Traveling - Don't know really. I am more inclinded to believe the theories that travelling backwards in time could be possible, but that travelling to the future is impossible. I forget all the scientific reasons why this theory was suggested, but I read about it in some science magazine or something and it was interesting.

Big Foot - I beleive that Big Foot could have possibly existed at some time in the past, but not now. I simply refuse to belive that something that big has survived for so long and we haven't been able to really find convincing evidence of its existence. Keep in mind that for Big Foot to be around for as long as people have been seeing him, it very likely could not be the same creature. There would have to be a breeding population for them to be around for so long, which means there would have to be lots of Big Foots running around that have somehow managed to evade human encroachment, which spreads to just about every corner of North America.

Loch Ness Monster - See Big Foot. Except change North America to one tiny loch in Ireland and it becomes even more improbable.

Did we go to the moon? - Well I admit that in my mind the verdict was out for a bit. Some of the ideas about why we didn't go are "things that make you go hmmm" But after researching more, I think I have to say that yes, we have been to the moon. Every piece of "evidence" about why we didn't go has been explained by scientists. Sorry, but I'll believe the scientists over the Flat-Earth theorists any day of the week. (Although I do admit that it is an intersting subject to ponder.)

Face on Mars - I think it is simply a random ordering of geographical phenomena that humans, in their infinite whimsy, imagination, and ego(?) have seen a human face in. Much the same way that we see a man in the moon, shapes in the clouds, and Elvis on our potatoes.

Real interesting on what all ya said..... i think out of them all i know prolly the most about is the Bermuda Triangle... ive seen soo many shows about it... LOL

As far as the Pyramids its impossible to make that by man UNLESS they found/made Some kind of Anti-Gravity tool... Who knows.....

I wouldn't say "impossible". Unless we build a time machine and go there ourselves, we have no way of knowing what is truly impossible and what isn't.

Consider one of the newest, and widely regarded as one of the most probable theories: wind power. The Egyptians could have used kites and the wind to raise the bricks to the height they needed. Field experiments have been tried to test this theory, and they have been successful at raising blocks of the same weight, to the same height, using only the wind and kites constructed out of materials available to the Egyptians.

Few things are impossible to human imagination and inginuity, I think.

[Kitt]

UFO's: I f you're young enough to still be able to disappoint and rattle your parents, tell them you want to be a UFOLOGIST when you grow up. Be sure to know a few bits of pertinent information to convince them of your sincerity. Once you've begun the charade you can keep it going indefinately. They'll be so relieved when you tell them you were kidding, that your next major foul-up will be more easily forgiven.

Atlantis: Plato was a very inteligent fellow. He might have made the whole thing up to amuse himself.

Ghosts: God can exist but ghosts can't? That doesn't seem fair!

Lochness: I don't think so.

Moon: There is no wind but there is not much gravity either. The flag wasn't apt to just hang there. Besides, if you think the government put on such an elaborate hoax as landing on the moon why is it hard to believe thay wouldn't find some way to make the flag flop around for dramatic effect?

Time travel: The position of the stars as we see them, actually took place about seven years ago. I don't know if that says anything about time travel, but it does make it seem not so unlikely. I do find going backward more plausible then going forward though.

Aliens: I don't know. See (Time Travel). If aliens are looking for us or have found us, and they don't live in this solar system, (pretty big in itself) they have an awful long way to travel in order to say hello.

Big Foot: White man wiped out nearly everything in about one hundred years. I don't see how he could have overlooked that guy.

Pyramids: From pbs.org: "The Real Pyramid Builders, an archeological dig on the Giza Plateau, a graveyard for the pyramid builders, proves that the workers were not slaves but rather workers and artisans valued for their skills." My conclusion: dedicated people built the pyramids. Why we would want to hand the credit for that feat off to someone else is beyond me.

Bermuda Triangle: People love to believe a good fish tale and much has been written to disprove that one. Some of it's origins are based on misunderstandings that evolved into "fact" in the same manner that Richard Jewel was stuck with being the 'olympic bomber' way beyond the time that the evidence showed otherwise.

[Chocoholic]

UFO's - they're only airplanes

Aliens - They exist. They're people who come into the United States illegally.

Bermuda Triangle - fun nightclub on the beach

Who Built the Pyramids in Egypt - All right, I'll confess. I built them.

Atlantis - My science experiment, gone wrong

Ghosts - I call them angels.

Time Traveling - What I wish I could do so I could go back and do a much better job studying for my sociology midterm http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/wink.gif

Big Foot - My science project, gone wrong

Loch Ness Monster - Wasn't this a monster on Sesame Street?

Did we go to the moon? - I went to the moon last summer. It was a nice place.

Face on Mars- I created it after I created the pyramids

You're out to reveal some of my deepest, darkest secrets, aren't you?

Erm, Loch Ness is in Scotland - NOT Ireland. I just wanted to clear that up. Anyhoo, here's what I reckon -

UFO'S - Just a bunch of Sci-Fi geeks letting their imaginations run wild. There is no other intelligent life in our solar system so if there really were UFO's they'd need to travel for light years to get here. C'mon, Earth isn't that brilliant that some other life form is gonna travel for aeons to get here!

ALIENS - there is other life out there but it's millions and millions of light years away from earth. Thus the chances of us ever finding this other intelligent life is very thin.

BERMUDA TRIANGLE - very mysterious. I dunno.

WHO BUILT THE PYRAMIDS - people.

ATLANTIS - I don't know anything about Atlantis. It's some city that's supposed to be on the bottom of the sea, isn't it? I dunno about this one.

GHOSTS - I believe in paranormal activities - poltergeists and such - but I'm not freaked out about it. Nobody truly understands ghosts and the afterlife and all that, and I'm of the opinion that people shouldn't mess with stuff they don't understand. Hence the reason why you'll NEVER find me playing around with a oujjia board!

TIME TRAVELLING - It's a known fact that time travel is possible. Whether we'll ever master it is a whole different story.

BIG FOOT - Entirely possible. There are a lot of species out there that we haven't discovered yet. Who's to say that there isn't giant ape-like creatures living in the mountains?

LOCH NESS MONSTER - Being a Scot I'm quite fond of the whole 'Nessie' legend. Whether Nessie is real or not, I don't know. With the amount of people who've gone out on Loch Ness over the years trying to catch her, I would have thought that at least someone would have found some real evidence by now. There are a lot of ideas attempting to explain the presence of Nessie. The one about her being an incredibly old creature evolved from the time of the dinosaurs is the most plausible. I believe there is something in Loch Ness - whether it is a monster or not, I don't know...

DID WE GO TO THE MOON - Personally, I don't believe so. What I mean is, I don't believe that we landed on the moon back in the 60's like 'they' would have us believe. I don't doubt that men have landed on the moon since then but I don't believe we were there as early as the 1960's. I'm not one for conspiracy theories but think of how much money would have gone into the so-called moon landing......and think how much certain people in the know could have used the money for other, not so acceptable, stuff. It would be perfectly easy to make the people think that their tax dollars were going towards the moon landing while, in reality, grubby politicians were using it for their own gain.
Did you ever see that episode of 'Just Shoot Me' when Nina and Mya were arguing about the authenticity of the moon landing? Nina said that the black glass on the 'astronauts' helmets was there so you couldn't see the actors inside giggling!

Oops. Well thanks to you and Mossop for pointing out my blunder. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/blush.gif Maybe now the Nancy Cult will admit that I'm not a know-it all, like they frequently accuse me of being. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/wink.gif

I'm not really sure what I'm suppose to
say about this because I have a hard
time believing in most of those things.
Out of the whole list, I'm only really
interested and fascinated with the Bermuda Triangle and Atlantis. I find it
trully amazing that a whole city can sink
into the ocean. As far as the Bermuda
Triangle, I do believe it but I think
the government knows a little bit about it and is not giving out information
about it or covering up details about it,
that's what I think at least!

[Sean Snow]

UFO-Hmmmm....maybe, but 99.999999% of them are def. fake.

Aliens-I think they prob. exist. I mean, the universe is so big that I don't think we'd be the only planet to have life.

Bermuda Triange- FAKE! A Reporter in Florida came up with this. The planes that evidently disappeared there during WWII I think crashed into the swamps of Florida....some of those swamps will remove traces of things withen a few days.

Who Built the Pyramids- Egyptians. It's possible with ramps and pulleys, and a Greek wrote down as witnessing one being built, and it took 30 years from what he says

Atlantis-I think it existed, though it's overeleberated. It was proboly amazing to them, and an island in the Mediterranian may be the real thing. The death rays can be explained, a Greek invented them (Or If It's True, Reinvented Them) in 2?? BC using mirrors to reflect the sun, and the rings of land are possible

Ghosts-Exist

Time Travel- Don't Know

Big Foot- Maybe, But 90% possibility of it not existing.

Nessie-Nope

Did We Go to the Moon-Not Sure. Those Rays Would Prob. Kill

Face on Mars-See, This Lady Was So Ugly that when Mars saw her it stuck in it's mind...
Anyway, I think it's conrincidence.

[Kay Scarpetta]

UFO's - stupid...not real

Aliens -stupid...not real

Bermuda Triangle - Some kind of current in the ocean, like a world pool or something

Who Built the Pyramids in Egypt - um...the Egyptians maybe?

Atlantis - a city that got caught in a baaaaaad hurricane

Ghosts - they are real, I think

Time Traveling - Now that scientists have broken the speed of light, possibly

Big Foot - Um...I don't know

Loch Ness Monster - I half-heartedly believe, but Karli, being like, 45% Scottish or sumthin like that, She believes...

Did we go to the moon? - Uh...WE didn't, Neil Armstrong did though...

Face on Mars - doubt it

I can't really explain it but trust me - time travel is possible in theory . My father has lots of textbooks on the subject. It is possible to go forward in time but it's not possible to go back. Of course, time travel hasn't been done yet but it is possible.
If I were to explain it I would be typing forever - there isn't really any simple way to outline the theory behind it but it can be done. Look in any serious physics textbook (not some dumb schoolbook) and it should at least go some way into explaining the idea behind it.

And, just for the record, atoms aren't just "theories".

Umm, for the record, actually they are. No one has ever proved the existence of the atom, even though it is accepted by everyone as the leading theory. It is probably right at that, but it hasn't been proven. Ever heard of "atomic theory"? The atomic theory is the theory that atoms are the building blocks of matter, but it is only theory.

Just because something is a theory, even a widely accepted theory, doesn't mean it's a fact. And as for your time travel theories, I have read many theories that time travel is possible but it is impossible to go forward, the exact opposite of what you've read. Proving that it is not a fact but merely a theory, because no one knows for sure.

[ILuvJo&Blair]

UFO's -I don't know very much about them, but from what I do know, they seem bogus.
Aliens - I think that they are just made up.

Bermuda Triangle -I believe that it actually exist. I think it is a blackhole that just happens to be in the middle of the ocean. It would really be interesting to know if you get crushed and go through all the other stuf like in the black hole under water. Or does it just lead to another demention or back in time.

Who Built the Pyramids in Egypt -THe ancient Egyptians.

Atlantis -I don't know what this or who is
Ghosts - I tink that they are just a figment of ones imagination. But spirits, I do believe exist.

Time Traveling -I think it is impossible.

Big Foot -He could have just been an over grown man.

Loch Ness Monster -I've never heard of it. But as far as monsters go, I don't think they are real.

Did we go to the moon? - Yes, someone did.

Face on Mars - I know absolutly nothing about this, but whatever it is, I seriously doubt it ever happened.

Atlantis is a huge island that has believed to sunk into the ocean thousands of years ago, They used some sort of energy for power its believed, and its believed that Its somewhere in the atlantic(prolly in the bermuda triangle)

The loch ness monster is a monster in Scotland i think peeps said, That peeps have seen, it looks sort of like a Giant under water snake,,,,, There have been lots of sightings but its never been found...


Back onto atlantis i read a good book on Atlantis from someone who has studied the atlantic ocean(She believes Atlantis was in the Atlantic) She thinks it sunk in 10,000 B.C. And that she thinks it had Aliens on it......

Thanks for the information JWillhight http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif Atlantis seems to be very interesting. I think I might go look it up somewhere.

[Truth]

No problem......

[Cokies]

UFO's -I doubt their existance. Even though I STRONGLY believe I saw one one day walking home from school a few years back...STRONGLY.

Aliens - More doubtful than UFO'S

Bermuda Triangle - Eh...

Who Built the Pyramids in Egypt - Egyptians, or the Hebrew slaves...

Atlantis - maybe

Ghosts - maybe

Time Traveling - Not possible. A good theory though.

Big Foot - Hell yes. I think the legend of Big Foot is very popular in places here like NorCal, and Oregon, Washington, and the rest of the Northwest. We all sort of believe. One of my teachers tells of a story that he experienced. It sealed the deal for me... I'll go find the link to it. Cause' he posted it at a bigfoot site...

Loch Ness Monster - It better exist. I'm going there this summer, and I'd better see something... http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/wink.gif

Did we go to the moon? - Yes. Enough we the skeptics.

Face on Mars - I don't know. Freaky, isn't it though?

Sorry to bump this up, but for some reason I got to thinking about this topic in class today and I remembered that I had wanted to ask Cokies what she saw....what did you see that has you so convinced you saw a UFO? Can you describe it at all? It sounds interesting....
