BajaNomad - Freaky sighting of ??? thursday night

Freaky sighting of ??? thursday night

shari - 6-9-2007 at 09:43 AM

At quarter to ten thursday night I was outsite and saw something unexplainable and very freaky...there was a VERY bright glow over the hills by San Pablo...about 20 miles north of Asuncion...there was kind of like a smoke plume curving east and decending to where the bright cloud was(No it wasn't Divers cigar!)...the plume ended in was like a fog but super bright white like there was a big mining operation or something...but there is NOTHING there! Through our strong binoculars I could make out a fog like cloud...only in that one spot though....I thought maybe it was like cloaking something, smoke screen type of deal???it lasted about a half hour then disappeared. So...uh...any ideas???

aliens! :?:

A couple days before as we were driving by that spot on our way back from Turtle Bay, my husband was telling me about the many UFO sightings on the that mesa over many years! hmmm...I love the smoke screen idea.

Weird!

Saw six UFO's in broad daylight at over 30,000 ft., moving from south to north a while back.

They weren't leaving contrails and were moving at a high rate of speed. Appeared to be round/oval in shape.

Signal flare for drug runners?

Shari, there was a rocket launch out of Vandenberg on Thursday at approximately the same time if I've calculated the time difference correctly...could it be possible that you would have seen it from your location? I dunno but it sounds about right!

probably alien vampires, "take me to your bleeder".... :lol:

could not help myself..

It's too bad that Fox Mulder is out of work. Now there's nobody to investigate these Paranormal encounters.

We're all doomed. Party Hardy.

Hi Shari!

It sounds like what you saw was the fuel dump plume of the rocket from Vandenburg Msrla was talking about.
I've seen only myself a year ago and it was very freaky looking for sure, kinda like a small comet that moves like a slow moving jet!
I myself don't believe or disbelieve in UFO's, I would love to see one myself! (maybe get a ride around the solar system!)
About 98% of sightings can be fairly easily explained but that 1-2% that can't are VERY intruiging indeed!
Does intelligent life exist out there, (let alone simple microbial life which is probably everywhere!) there could be 1000's of planets just in our own galaxy with intelligent life forms, but unless they can figure out how to use wormholes to travel (or have faster than light capabilty) the distances between stars would be too great to span in a lifetime.
It would be a great wake up call to our species indulgent arrogance if we were visited though, I would love to see that! :lol:

I think that Pampano has improved his tee offs from his beach.
The chit....er I mean chips have generated methane gas in their trajectories, which explains the cloudy impact. You are now included in his neighbors' targets. They have now traversed the peninsula and the Pacific is within range. So far the missiles have fallen a little short, but better cover your sun tea or lemonade.

It's the result of Asuncion 'thunder'........then comes the yelow fog followed by the odor

While having dinner at Miguel's in Todos Santos one evening last July or August, a friend of ours came in to talk to a young waiter about a recent UFO sighting over the Pemex. While he was rather reluctant to talk about it I found it interesting since as a youngster in Ohio I saw one in broad daylight that scared the living heck out of me. When you see something hover overhead, then go straight up when jets from Wright-Pat come zooming in and then come straight back down and you are only ten years old, it is chilling to say the least. I ran home and hid under my covers thinking "This won't do any good. If they can do that, they can do anything." My friend and I (we had been best friends) stopped talking to each other and went our separate ways. Guess we just didn't know what to say about what we had seen.

Sounds like you may have some good explanations here for what you saw though. Just don't let them do the anal probe and you should be okay. Sorry, I just couldn't resist the joke. Guess it still makes me uncomfortable to think about that experience. (And now some of you will say - ah ha, I knew she was a wacko!)

We've seen the launches from Vandenburg twice from the Ensenada area and it's a beautiful sight indeed. I can understand how if you don't know what it is, it can be a little spooky.

Sirena burning up another set of shocks ??

bajamigo - 6-10-2007 at 09:28 AM

Telnor testing a new communications system? (It worked great for the Indians.)

DianaT - 6-10-2007 at 10:40 AM

We did not see anything--but then again, we were fast asleep. We have not gotten use to Mexico time yet. :lol:

However, if we think there are UFOs near Bahia Asuncion, maybe we will stay up later. :yes:

Tis beautiful down here. We will have to leave soon and then return again after a week or two---it is going to be real difficult to leave---UFOs and all.

Still need to send you some information about Central America and will do so on our next trip home---other home that is. The internet here is quite slow---much faster today here at the cafe for some reason, however.

It took about 1 day for this to feel like home, and we are camping in our place, and of course, everything that was to have been completed----well, it will happen soon. :spingrin:

Since there are only a couple of gringos here, people are surprised to hear we are now living here at least part time, and they are so FRIENDLY.

Hope to meet you and Deborah soon --- that is if those aliens don´t get us first. I want to see the UFO. :yes:

wouldn't it be easy for some one to jump in there pickup and go up their and see if there is any sign of strangeness? after is not that what Baja is all about. exploring and investigating and off rode adventures.

if no one will put out that little effort to investigate a siting as odd as this one then I must write it of as side effects of an early happy hour :light:

I know I would have been up there at sunrise if I saw something like what was described

If you see a UFO and it's sensational, the first thing they do is roll out a bunch of highly educated "experts" that debunk you as a dummy.

You only saw this or that and heck you were probably intoxicated to start with, plus on and on and on..... :lol:

Gnome-ad - 6-10-2007 at 04:29 PM

You are so right. That's why my friend and I did not say anything about what we saw until I told my brother-in-law who was in the military at White Sands, NM. So he told me about Roswell. Did not help the 10 year old sleep any better.

My husband has been of the opinion that people who see UFO's are mentally ill, drunk or altered in some other fashion, or simply liars. I assured him my 10 year old self was none of those things. Led to some interesting discussions. Think he almost believes me now after 19 years together.

Bruce R Leech - 6-10-2007 at 04:41 PM

The big probalm with UFO reports are there are 50 times more false reports than real ones. there are real ones I know this for a fact but they get ignored becalus of all of the kooks filing the false ones. that is why it is important in this case to investigate so all the good folks up there dont get tagged with some kind of a label.

Halboo - 6-10-2007 at 05:18 PM

I've seen enough weird stuff to convince me .........

WE ARE NOT ALONE :spingrin:

shari - 6-11-2007 at 08:17 AM

No Bruce, it was NOT happy hour...we were going to bed and just checking the horse when we saw the eerie glow...that's all I saw and asked about...and as we get up at 5:30 am to work, we were not about to jump in the pick up and investigate...it's an hour drive to San Pablo on a bad arroyo road. Now, do those fuel dump thingies disengage from the rocket and drop off, could it have dropped off near us? Do they burn up? I figured if it was something burning it wouldn't have been sooo white in color and when I gazed through our binoculars I could make out what looked just like fog..kind of dropping down, spilling over the mountain then receding a bit...changing shape like fog does...but it was only in one small isolated area and very bright...I don't think we would see the rocket launch from here and it was obvious it was close to San Pablo...the mysterious fog. Thank you for the rocket launch info...maybe it was something dropped off from that.
Oh and now that the gato is out of the bolsa....a huge warm welcome to the jdtrotters who are brave souls to endure the UFO's, earthquakes, and wind. They have already become part of the Asuncion familia! I was gonna call you when I saw the freaky show but knew you'd have your phone off.
