Sorry to burst your bubble dude, but its a dude in a bubble. It's called camera performance art. An "actor" gets in a white bedsheet ball, wearing a body suit with lights on it and holds torches (flashlights) then wriggles around and makes shapes and such. Chinese are so censored over there and cut off from the outside world they'll believe anything. 

But yes, there are things out there we can't explain. As for footage of these phenomina, it's a happless task, either it doesn't exist or if it does, you can bet the government's not going let it known to the general public, would create mass hysteria and chaos. I'm in the same mindset as you mate, I love watching Doco's and reading stories about this stuff, but if it were real, it would be all over the evening news.

But I did see a very good Doco' a couple of weeks ago, about the worlds facination into UFO's, but it investigates the military explination behind the mojority of them. Basically the guy goes around investigating stories from military records. Premise of it was that the high point of the sightings around Arizona in particular during the beggining of the popularity during the 50's and 60's was because it was the height of the cold war and the majority of these sighting all occured near Airforce bases that were researching and creating experimental new aircraft for stealth survielance, as well as spy balloons and the sky hook thing we seen in The Dark Knight. The CIA just realised it was a perfect cover for spyplane missions over Russia for example and just went along with it. Funny thing is it worked, the Russians had entire armies out at night looking for UFO's at one point until a spyplane was shot down and then even though the russians realised they were played, people believed in UFo's so much there wasn't much they could do about it.
Also he went to underground NAZI mines in Chechoslovakia (during WW2) where top secret research was being conducted, one such thing was Disc shaped aircraft that had propultion lift. After the war ended that got buried when the Nazi's blew up most of the mine, but the US government went in and took whatever was left. So really UFO's as we think of them were just military experiments. Theres technology that exists now that we may think of as SCIFI but is reality, just its not open to the public because its used in military applications. One example is the Stealth Bomber, imagine seeing that back in the 60's or 70's. Even now your not allowed to film the Fighter up close due to secret technology. Otherwise there goes the advantage over the possible enemy.

We gotta keep this thread going, I love talking about this stuff. Should get Vince in on it too.

I've got about 500 or so ghost/paranormal/UFO books, and I've been consuming otherworld information since I was 8 years old. Over the years I've learned to become more skeptical as there's just too many wackos screwing things up, but there's that 1%-2% that just defy rational explanation, and that's what keeps me interested. I'll drop a post later about my own ghostly experience that solidified my belief in the paranormal. Great thread!

Have you gone to the http://www.theshadowlands.net/


does anyone have some good cryptozoological stories?
idk why but since i was a little kid ive been interested in mothman and the jersey devil

[Milesy]

Just so you know, it aint a wormhole. If wormholes do exist, you cant see them from the outside. It's physics.
Because it's essentially similar to a black hole light wouldnt pick it up. It's most likey a high speed jet that's created a vapour trail. Wind spreads it and light gets reflected from the ground.

Cryptozoology is more interesting anyway. Apparently we know less about our own world than we do about space.

Good ghost and UFO pics (keep your b.s. meter ready), but some are pretty credible

UFO sightings make the news quite often.

But I did see a very good Doco' a couple of weeks ago, about the worlds facination into UFO's, but it investigates the military explination behind the mojority of them. Basically the guy goes around investigating stories from military records. Premise of it was that the high point of the sightings around Arizona in particular during the beggining of the popularity during the 50's and 60's was because it was the height of the cold war and the majority of these sighting all occured near Airforce bases that were researching and creating experimental new aircraft for stealth survielance.

So really UFO's as we think of them were just military experiments.

That's one theory and I think it probably has validity but I don't think it's a comprehensive explanation and there are potential problems with it (especially since some of the more interesting cases over the decades have involved sightings by military personnel).

I'm petty sure I've seen the documentary you're talking about. The name eludes me at the moment but it was an interesting one.

I agree. I love this stuff.

In terms of sites to visit, this is a good UFO site: http://www.ufoevidence.org/

Here's a cool UFO photo:



I don't know anything about this one other than the info at the site. I'll try to learn more.

Here's a link:

Wow, nobody else thinks that's a cool UFO photo?

Here's a cool UFO photo:

I do believe that one has been proven fake. I hang around the ATS (abovetopsecret.com) forums, and I can recall that one being bounced around for a while before someone convincingly squashed it.

Here's a recent one from Russia. Not the best quality, but that's the YouTubes:

The flyaway makes this one very suspect, IMO:

What I see is that the Russians can get into space but can't yet work a handheld camera. Also it looks like a rocket powered projectile, it has a tail.

Looks CGI, the "UFO" is way too clear when the camera is zoomed in compared to the MUCH closer building.

As for the last video, I can only view it other than a UFO as a Kite or a Balloon, because it never moves. also how hard is it to stay focused on it? Why keep zooming in and out.

my closest brush with the "paranormal" was 15-20 years ago. i was sitting in a traffic jam when pedestrians started looking up to the sky. we in the car of course turned to look, and we saw a patch of sky shifting colors, from red to green to yellow. just as i was about to get ready to freak out, the traffic moved and we drove away. with my luck it was probably industrial pollution or something. but being a comics guy i have to wonder...
also...
i seem to remember hearing a radio program with a british host. he had an apollo program astronaut who basically said, yes, u.s. gov't has been in touch with aliens and are slowly preparing to condition the general public to the existence of aliens or somesuch. its been a while since i listened to it.

lastly, speaking of aliens, here's links to "district 9" by the dude who was supposed to do halo and produced by peter (LOTR) jackson.

That one is pretty trippy!  The spikes are interesting.
