Everyone knows that UFO's come from the civilization inside our planet which contains a race of beings far superior to ours in terms of technology. DUH...

TWO Idaho links make it to the main page in the same day? WTF? I don't think I've seen two Idaho stories during the whole time I've been Farking. Maybe we should come up with an "Idaho" tag. Make sure it's in the shape of a spud. Or a UFO.

I have been to Salmon, I even dated a girl who grew up there. People in Salmon are baffled by indoor plumbing

"Eva Miles, who lived adjacent to the forest about 12 miles south of Salmon from the early 70s to the early 90s, said she routinely saw bright lights traveling at warp speed across the sky....They would usually cross from one side of the sky to the other in a complete track. They moved rather rapidly, from one side of the horizon to the other."

Lets see...a light...moving at "warp speed"...from one horizon to the other. Hmm...I think I know the answer to this one....

A bored newspaper reporter!

garbage in garbage can....

humn, makes sense.

rickythepenguin

I suppose you mean 2+2=4.

talk about strange things happening in India

It's no different.

heh, i read that as "North Korea attacks South"

Why would anyone bother visiting Idaho?

Maybe they're just hankerin' for some of them famous potatoes...

Dear Idaho Hicks,

Those lights you see flying in the sky are called airplanes. They are like mechanical birds and they take people and other things places. I'm sure if you haven't seen them, they might baffle you, but trust me, they are from earth. Maybe a more advanced place on earth than Idaho, but they are human made nonetheless.

Because it rhymes with "Orlando"?

"I havent heard or seen anything in the backcountry that I couldnt explain," he said.

well laadee-da!

I didn't really believe Idaho existed until I drove across the panhandle (it took 45 minutes). I can safely say that Coeur d'Alene is really there. I've also been to Lewiston. Meh.

...ah...dammit, running out of words...Okay!!! I'll use people's names now...

Yeah, we may be funny, but how many other states have movies about them seceding to form a new country? Viva la revolution, viva la liberte! PS: You realize that we have potato cannons right? Go ahead, give us an excuse.

Idaho? No, you da ho!

Don't feel bad Idaho. Nebraska gets a good ribbing whenever a few Nebraska related stories make the front page. We were even described once as "provincial." That one really hit home too, I felt so, so, Canadian for some reason after that one. I submitted a few Nebraska links as I do every night so maybe one will get green-lighted and take the heat off ya'll.

I don't blame them really. Around Toledo, late at night, there are these planes that fly around... These are no ordinary planes. They fly much lower and slower than regular planes, and they have 3 VERY bright lights on the front. You can see the lights at the tips of the wings if they fly right over you, its the only reason I know they aren't some sort of quiet helecopter, as I only see them at night. Now, before you think I'm all crazy, there are a lot of military instalations around here, including some air force. Anyways, my point is, they are unusual, and military is my best guess. I can see how if I were a drunken inbread hillbilly living in the middle of Idaho, I would mistake them as alien, simply because they are so odd.

we built the blackbird in the 1950s. we built the u2 in the 60s. we built the harrier in the 70s. christ people, it's been 30 years. you think, just maybe, that the government has planes that go -faster- than commercial planes, -and- can turn around in less than 3 states?

also, the human eye can see the light from a candle up to 30 miles away in the pitch dark. so that light you're seeing is likely -much- further away than you think it is.

then, the viewer is looking up from the earth into a conic vector of sky that, within even 20 miles up, will likely encompass most of their home state. something making a 'sharp' turn in that space isn't necessarily making a sharp turn at all.

but due to the angle of incidence of the viewer to the act, and the fact that some people have 0 intuition about our view being a mere 2 dimensional projection of movement in 3 dimensional space... they get called UFOs. it couldn't -possibly- be that most of the turn is occurring in geometric plane with your viewpoint, resulting in you only seeing the part of the turn that is 'out of plane', making it look like the light is suddenly turning back in on the way it came.

it couldn't possibly be test flights of the JSF fighterplane. or unmanned supersonic drones.

it seems to be in human nature to attribute any event with an immediately invisible cause to a higher power.
your super-nice aunt millie died? must be God's will.
light moving really quick across the sky? must be a ufo.
some nut shot the president? must be a conspiracy.

couldn't simply be cancer, a fighter plane, or a chemically imbalanced jodie foster fan. nah...

Idahoans? Idahoes? They da ho's

Yea

I'm Idaho

exeuent Ralph

I thought it was "idahores", but I don't know if my spelling is accurate. ;)

Holy Fark, 2 Idaho posts in one day. Someone has some love for us finally.

I never got a very good idea of what it was I was seeing. Id just look and then go about my business.

Until they decide to probe!

-when you have actually seen a alien craft flying right over your head...you will have no doubts.

there is one decent rule of thumb.

if it makes no sound...displaces no air or exhaust and is flying over you at 10mph...

it is either a flat, triangular blimp or we did not make it.

-when or if you ever see one...it will change your life.

that much i can attest to.
