Article is forked?

Mordis: Article is forked?

they don't want you to see it

the lights closely resemble the landing lights of a Boeing 727

Dude, I hope you're joking.

It's either a joke I'm too young for or it's liter meme I'm not familiar with.

shower_in_my_socks: Why do alien spaceships need lights?

For the same reason non-alien craft have lights? They are useful for a number of reasons. Why would aliens not possess a sense of usefulness for lights?

Dire: Why would aliens not possess a sense of usefulness for lights?

Because they're aliens and have ESP.

Also, the pulsing and colored lights seem to correspond to the propulsion system. Dimming and brightening according to takeoff, etc. The lights might be kind of a hassle to hide.

You know who else had ESP?

andrew131: Dire: Why would aliens not possess a sense of usefulness for lights?

plus, at light speed...
well, you know.

Yup, asteroids.

Why would alien eyes sense the same visible spectrum as humans?

ShawnDoc: Funny how ships from outer space always have lighting configurations that match commercial air craft.

Duh, that's how we got the technology.

kiwichan: Why would alien eyes sense the same visible spectrum as humans?

Human light sources frequently emit IR and stuff that we can't see and don't necessarily mean to produce.

I frequently produce emissions I didn't intend.

Just playing Devil's advocate here, but it would be reasonable to assume if they came from a planet with a star similar to ours, their eyesight would be able to see similar wavelengths of light.

Otto's_Jacket: Yup, asteroids.

Wait... I'm 41, too. This is obviously a conspiracy.

Pay the Man: I frequently produce emissions I didn't intend.

Do your emissions get lighter, then darker, than pulse and move around, frightening all who witness?

xuanzhiyouxuan: Pay the Man: I frequently produce emissions I didn't intend.

No, they are usually invisible, unless you catch them and paint them green.

Sudden focus on pinpoint-sized light source after being unable to focus on a giant jet aircraft? Then that point-sized-source immediately begins looking weird and flying everywhere but still the camera person has no problems tracking it, dead center frame for its entire erratic flight? Yeah that ain't shooped or anything.

/oh and with obligatory "look its flying behind distant objects! It's real OMG!" shots too.

ShawnDoc: Funny how ships from outer space always have lighting configurations that match commercial air craft.

I have never seen a light configuration on any commercial aircraft that looked like that. A perfect V?

I think that is the best video of a UFO I have ever seen.

Why do they have to be smarter than us? Just cos they found us before we found them?

Intergalactic tag.

The only reason non-alien aircraft have lights is so they can BE SEEN. That is the only reason. Why do alien's secretly visiting another planet want to be seen? It's f*cking stupid.

"Hey Queeznogg, let's slap some running-lights on the flying saucer so Bob the amateur flyer doesn't bump into us with his Cessna while we're flying around Earth's atmosphere. Because we're in a technologically-backwards aircraft that can bend space and travel across galaxies, but doesn't have the capacity to avoid slow-moving airplanes without flagrantly giving away our position to every human on Earth."

If they were in such a technologically advanced spacecraft, why would they care if they are seen? Why would they bother to remove their running lights, which I assume, would be useful to them when navigating through their own populated areas back home. Even if they could just shut them off, why would they bother? If they are so advanced that they have nothing to worry about from earth beings seeing their craft, then why would they care? And running lights hardly give away their position to every human on Earth. I don't think there are magical running lights that can do such a thing. And why would the technology capable of bending space make their craft invulnerable to collisions in the atmosphere? And why do you assume that small craft possesses warp technology? Maybe it's a carrier-based short-range craft with no interstellar capabilities.

This makes sense. No one I know, turns off their headlights when driving through the woods because they're afraid the deer might see them.

Who says they're visiting us secretly? Do you try to sneak up on your fish in the aquarium?

Maybe they have external lights because they have safety templates and regulations for craft on their planet. Why should they change the design solely to remain hidden from a monkey-infested planet with crude technology?

A co-worker just informed me that it's a TR3B (you can google it, I did), and yes he does dress in Star Wars costume's too.

DAMN! I intantly thought of that video game that I played in the bar after work - obviously NOT 41

The Prime Directive?

Day_Old_Dutchie: The Prime Directive?

Or they are bidding 300 quatloos that all the nations are untrainable and all bidders are not allowed to interfere with the game.

I just saw District 9, so I'll just guess how this will play out.

You keep saying that like you know what it means.

Cool story bro: in 1981 I was on the winning team in a 24-hour asteroids marathon at 7-11 to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy. We rocked.
