UFO sighting real or not?

Question

Bob White’s UFO Artifact

The late Bob White’s mysterious object is touted on the internet as hard evidence for the existence of UFOs: “This isn’t the smoking gun—this is the bullet!!!!” And it has been included on or near the top of UFO “best evidence” lists.1, 2 In 1985, according to White’s sworn deposition, he was napping as he and a companion drove west through the desolate country between Grand Junction, CO and the Utah border. After 2 or 3 in the morning White’s friend woke him for a second time—the odd light they’d noticed before in the sky seemed to be getting bigger. White recalled:

[The light] was about the size of a full harvest moon… As we got closer, it grew larger… When we were a few hundred yards from it, I turned off the ignition and we coasted up close to it… It was huge, the size of a very big barn. I got out of the car…for a better look. For some unknown reason, Jan turned on the headlights, and this light went up in the sky as fast as my eyes could follow it… Then I saw another small light, bright orange with a tinge of yellow, white, and blue falling from it… I climbed the incline and went over to where I thought it might have hit. I found a groove in the ground about 18 inches deep and 9 inches wide. I followed the groove and there it lay… it was still glowing.3

Answer 1

95% of all UFO sightings are identified, the other 5% are probaly meteors, But going by people's accounts, they are either just trying to be famous, or they are delusional.

Answer 2

Eye witness account is the lowest possible form of evidence in science. A groove in the ground does not suggest extraterrestrial space craft in any way. Was it real? I don't know. Is the evidence satisfactory? Not even a little. Especially when we realize WHAT the "artifact" is:



The object in question is made of accreted grinding residue. It forms in a manner similar to a common stalagmite when metal castings are “cleaned” on large stationary grinders. Rough castings need to have the parting line fins and gates smoothed to facilitate machining and reduce tool breakage.

Answer 3

So an alien just had to forge some cast iron himself and throw the slag aside? What happened to them being technologically advanced? Was there any banging and muttering about how the horse shoe still didn't fit his flying saucer?

Answer 4

No matter what we say, you will not get it. If you are presenting a UFO "best evidence" online as evidence, you will simply just believe what you want.



Waste of time.

Answer 5

Yes, people do see flying objects which they can not identify. It has nothing to do with "aliens" from other planets, it that is what you are inferring.



As to an artifact, we would all like to see it, where is it?
