Yes, it's also known as a meteorite.
And I thought he was a weirdo for getting engaged right before or after the draft and not allowing himself to take advantage of being the most eligible bachelor in the country lol
Dang it, I've been so busy with bald threads and Amazon threads that I missed it!
Double D, if you want to repeat as poster of the year you cannot be making mistakes like this! ☝️
😂😂 I knew a repeat was going to be difficult!
he is probably just so tired from taking care of that giant stadium all by himself. its a big job.

When i was around ten years old, i'm playing with my friends in this nearby local field in the middle of the day, and suddenly we see this large fireball cross the sky. From having been interested in the sciences at a very young age, which included astronomy, i knew immediately it was a meteorite.
It wasn't in the stratosphere, it seemed like it was about as high up as say a very tall skyscraper and perhaps a half mile away from us. So it was certainly on the last legs of its trajectory. It was such a cool sight to behold.
It looked like it was around half the size of the moon, but i told my friends it was probably actually around the size of a basketball. The heat/light energy emitted from it made it look much bigger than it was.
The next day the story was in the Philadelphia Inquirer, which of course reported it as a meteorite. But yet there was a number of bizarre stories told by those who saw it. The one story I recall reading was some guy who claimed he saw aliens looking out the window of it, or words to that affect. The story made it sound like he wasn't joking. LOL
The Phoenix Lights is one of the most famous UFO sightings in history. It occurred on March 13, 1997 in the sky over Phoenix Arizona, and was witnessed by an estimated 20,000 people. Kurt Russell the actor even witnessed it and reported it. It was weird because there were about 6 or 7 UFO's that lined up in the sky in a pattern. Here is some of the original video footage taken by eyewitnesses that night.
Here's the story of Kurt Russell and the Phoenix Lights.
Anyone that believes we are alone in the universe has a higher opinion of intelligence on earth than I have. There are as many stars in the sky as grains of sands on all the beaches. Ancient cultures have known of higher intelligence for thousands of years. Civilians on earth today can be summed up in one movie. “Idiocracy “
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
Check out this video of strange lights in the sky over Miami. It is creepy!
Depending on the latest treatise, there are 100 to 200 billion galaxies in the universe. Some have it at 2 trillion.
Whatever the number, to believe that there isn't life on other planets is simply preposterous. The universe is teaming with life, and it's not even remotely debatable.
The question is has intelligent alien life ever visited earth? The answer sorry to say is a very highly probable no. The problem is the speed of light is sort of like an intergalactic speed limit, and doing the math as well as evaluating other circumstances, it's easy to understand why aliens visiting earth will very likely never happen.
So don't worry about waking up one day and finding ET in your closet.
There are several theoretical ways around violations of exceeding the constant speed of light, most commonly associated with wormholes or other ways to bend spacetime. Just because we don't have the technology in our first 100 years of space exploration doesn't mean a spacefaring civilization that's been around for a million years longer would not have it. Not to mention that all of the "ETs" could just be our own civilization traveling back from the future, requiring nothing beyond the basics of Einsteinian physics.
Good post. From what I have read, traveling to the future would be "easier" than traveling to the past. However, theoretically, it is possible. We long thought it impossible to bend light but figured out how to do that.
Although, an interesting thought I have long pondered is that if we actually could travel to the past, would there be a future for the human race or would we all travel back to days past when we were the happiest (especially if age was additionally reversed)?
Point clearly understood. However i cannot remotely envision any spacecraft surviving a journey thru a wormhole, let alone even finding one.
What if it's not about finding one, but creating one as needed?
The problem also is the expanding universe. If i'm remembering the numbers right, we are hurtling thru space at around 65k MPH, away from the other galaxies. Gravity does keep our solar system and galaxy relatively together.
If there is an ET, it's a virtual certainty it won't be from another galaxy.
There are also theories, which sadly do have credibility, that intelligent life anywhere has the tendency to get to the point whereby thru various means, it winds up destroying itself. It's not hard to fathom that possibility with nuclear weapons, pollution, etc, getting more dangerous by the day.
Except one that we're on a collision course with and will eventually merge with our own, in a rather violent fashion.
Lots of theories on how the earth will end, most of them credible.
One thing in my view that is an absolute certainty, is how the universe will end....around 35 trillion years from now.
So i say enjoy our cards and coins now before it's too late.
In astronomical terms, it's crazy how close the galactic merger with Andromeda and timing of our sun going red giant are. Which one destroys earth first is really the only question, but 4-5 billion years is a long time to wait for an answer.
Oh my goodness this stuff is fascinating, you're giving me a cosmic orgasm!
That was not my intention at all and TMI.
I’ve never heard anything about the speed of light being an issue for Aliens visiting earth. Like never. Interesting either way, I don’t think we are alone in the entire universe but I need to see to believe!
The CO is probably something similar to what i'd get if i ever held a PSA 10 1952 Mantle. LOL
Star Trek prime directive is real. I have zero doubts.
And I missed it moving here 5 months too late
It would take eight years traveling at the speed of light, just to get to the nearest star other than the sun. I think that says a lot about any alien's desire for space travel.
In my opinion, contact between intelligent civilizations will basically have to be thru radio telescopes or perhaps other inventions of the future. As we all probably know, we've been attempting to do that for decades without any luck at all. Yes, the universe is teaming with life, that's a given, but perhaps not teaming with intelligent life capable of transmitting radio waves as our failure to find any thus far may have proven.
From the few Browns' games I've watched, I think several of his receivers have seen UFOs weekly. They're called footballs.
Steve, I don't think any advanced alien civilization is going to abide by what we think the laws of physics are.
They might be a million years more advanced than us, don't you think they probably figured out a way
around the supposed intergalatic speed limit you mentioned?
Besides, the military has admitted to recovering an alien spacecraft in 1947.
They reported it to the local paper. Then they retracted it the next day and said it was a weather balloon.
My question is how did we win world war 2 if the Air force couldn't tell a weather balloon from an alien spacecraft?
Frankly, i think as an advanced civilization gets older, it would be less inclined to want to explore extremely far out from its own solar system.
I mean the quest for exploration is ingrained in our human psyche as a survival technique. However once there is no longer any thirst for it, why would any human want to spend many years of their life cooped up in a spacecraft to land on some obscure planet that chances are is nothing but worthless rocks.
Look how things are progressing on the internet. For example i can visit Australia from the comfort of my computer, without spending any money on hotels or airfare. Yes, it's not the exact same experience, but as we become more advanced it may evolve that way.
Look at the way sports is evolving. Yes the in stadium experience is cool, but to some if not many, watching the game in the comfort of the home is better.
I think the only exception with a human or alien of the distant future would be if their home star is dying, then that would give them incentive to explore and move to another solar system. Whether that move would be successful even under the best of circumstances, is highly suspect due to a number of factors.
Steve you got really hypothetical or philosophical or something with that post don't really know which.
I'm not going to go into the subject in detail but I have done a lot of research on the topic so I'll just
say this and leave it at that.
I don't believe a more truthful statement than this has ever been uttered by a human being or mere man.............
"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy".
And that statement isn't aimed at you, I think it applies to every person on this planet.
No problem at all. But don't forget the thread was about an NFL player who thinks he saw a UFO, and discussing that can be hypothetical or philosophical in its nature.
Of course the quote from Hamlet was a fictional character, and i'm sure if those such as Shakespeare would have had the knowledge about the sciences which are available now, their thought process and books would have been different in a variety of ways.
Based on Eisnstein, we can't travel in the past beyond when time travel was invented

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
With all due respect I absolutely think your opinion is just an opinion. To think that an Alien race would have the same limitations in travel or anything that we can decipher on our terms is laughable. I respect your opinion Steve do don’t take it the wrong way but I don’t think that anyone on this earth is qualified to answer any of these questions with absolute certainty
Paul, I actually don't disagree with ya at all. It would be foolish for anyone to think they can accurately predict the future even among human beings, let alone aliens.
The fact is that probably the world's most famous predictor from the past of future world events, Nostradamus, was flat wrong in virtually all of his forecasts. However he made so many predictions, the chances are that at least a few of them would be right. Sort of like sports betting pundits who hawk their gambling subscription services - LOL.
That being said, I've read countless articles over many years by scientists and have viewed countless tv shows and videos on scientific endeavors, and base my opinion on this subject not just on knowledge about astronomy, but other scientific principles as well such as biology, etc.
There are numerous theories about what intelligent aliens would look like, their strengths, limitations, behavior, etc. Unfortunately, other than describing themselves thru radio waves, i highly doubt that we would ever meet them personally. The laws of the universe as we know it now, seem to clearly point to that conclusion. And i think for a long list of reasons, it's probably best that we don't meet.
@stevek Thanks for understanding my point, obviously we all have our views and we can take scientific research any way we chose. I agree that the laws of the universe probably lean in our favor to not have contact with aliens, at some point though our space exploration could go to far and actually break the laws of the universe and who knows what could happen. If given a chance, personally if I can live to say 80 years old I would be fine with interacting with Aliens at that point just to answer the questions I have thought of over the years about their existence and looks lol. Regarding Nostradamus I have researched his work quite a bit and as much as I agree with you about making so many predictions to make a percentage of them unavoidable to come true the ones that he has come close to predicting are pretty damn scary as far as being close to accurate.
My belief is that the universe is cyclical. Things that happen now have happened before. Civilizations have come and gone without any or much proof of their existence. The earth is 4 billion years old and our existence is just a tick on this planet. Evidence of a civilization 1 million or 10 million years old may be buried 1000 ft below us. What if the UFO’s aren’t aliens? Just a previous civilization that left earth and has come back to check on the planet 1 million years later? Again we are an arrogant bunch thinking we are the only intelligence. We’re still an infant race barely out of trees that still eats animal carcasses, stages cage matches where to humans beat each other with fists and stage war for profit. Visitors observe and still haven’t found intelligent life on the surface.

Well why shouldn't we solve the mysteries of the universe? After all, this forum is called Collectors Universe.
I've always wondered what aliens would collect, and what their slabs would look like.
I've always suspected that doubledragon was an alien from some distant galaxy, perhaps even another universe.
I mean seriously, it just isn't humanly possible to post the quality and quantity of GIFs that he posts.
Before we search for intelligent life from other planets I'd like to find some on earth.
