Title: Why Do UFOs have External Lights???
Post by: beemaster on February 27, 2005, 03:13:11 pm
I had to ask this, I've never heard a believable reason why a craft from the far ends of the Galaxy or further from the Universe or alternate dimensions NEED external lights? The only one I ever heard that remotely made sense was to help Earthly aircraft from coliding with them - but that seems a bit of a stretch.

If they really wanted to stay invisible, wouldn't they simply turn them off in the night sky so they didn't grab our attention in the first place and adversely, if they wanted to be seen wouldn't they make more of a statement than just cruising overhead with their running-lights on - lol.

If they are just doing it to tease us, isn't that a bit immature for supposed advanced civilazations?

I tend to think that they may not be advanced, they just have a nitch over us in being near wormholes or other galactic teleporters which know nothing about. I tend to think their ships otherwise are similar to ours. They can hover, we can hover (harriers, helecopters) they have stealth (we have stealth - at least from radar) they can move fast and so can we.

The incidentals may be different, the limits of their ships may be different then ours, but still they seem to have limits.

All these craft styles, triangle, oblong, round could easily be from the same civilization, we have craft of many different shapes, sizes and purposes too!

Seriously, I think the real edge they may have is location location location - otherwise, I don't think we are all that far from similar technology.

So... Why do space craft have running lights????

Are they lights or are they the propulsion systems that keep them afloat?

Possibly an abstract form of radar or laser technology?  Fuel exhaust,or concieveably a system of shielding from attack. Who knows,I guess we should try thinking outside of the box on this one!

maybe they need there light to drive at night, maybe there afraid of the police giving them a ticket without lights at night.   :twisted:  :D  :D  :D  :wink: BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

When I first saw this post and you subsequent discussion, it really got me thinking and I thought it was a great question and one that could not be answered, because no one really knows.  But I did my best to come up with an explanation....

Maybe, just maybe,  in most cases, they are actually man-made vehicles like  planes or helicopters.  And sometimes, they might be made by some guy who is trying to take a picture of a UFO and he thought  that lights would be a good idea, since planes have lights, and all the ones in the movies have lights.  

If a creature wanted to be less detectable when visiting planet earth, he wouldn't  need lights.  He could use his infrared thermo scan tri-optic vision goggles.   Because if he wanted to be more detectable,  why not drop down in the middle of  5th avenue and scream "Yo!  We are here!"
Just the random thoughts of a random man.

Better luck next time.  Just don't forget the souveniers -

Alien DNS
fabric swatch
Air sickness bag  
plastic specimen cup
cocktail napkin
scrap of metal

anything with an alien logo on it -- Would be worth a fortune.

I think they use lights because they want to shake up the humans.  They are probably alien teenagers.

I like the teenager theory,  like ours with the car stereos blasting your windows from 2 blocks away.

     What if is a visual spectrum wave length need?  I'm way out of my element here.  What if they need lights of certain frequency variations or combined at certain strobe type of flash to see or for instruments to work?  Or even a combination of the spectrum?  Just because we, physiologically, see things a certain way doesn't mean that is the way of the world...or other worlds or suns... I like the E. T. tenager theory.

I seem to remember a discussion of this subject, which postulated that it was to avoid collisions.

     The author of the article cited prior instances of aparrent mid-air collisions prior to the craft being equipped with running lights.

     It seems plausable to me that they are "unmanned" reconnisance craft WHICH HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED TO THE VIBRATORY RATE OF EARTH in order to sense conditions, take samples, etc. (made "solid" in other words)

     An example of "non solid" alien reconnisance "craft" might have been the "foo fighters" seen in the skies over Germany in WW2 and photographed extensively.  These were not, apparently, completely adjusted to our vibratory rate as bursts of machine gun fire seemed to pass through harmlessly.

     Aircraft "vanished" in those days also without a trace, some right out of a formation while being observed at close range by gunners in other aircraft.

     Some of this was reported by Ernie Pyle, who was almost a god to us Indiana folks, and well before the "flying saucer stuff".

If you dove into the deep ocean or went into a trackless jungle today you would carry a gps locator beacon or a strobe light so any searchers could find you. This wouldn't be for the natives or fish to look at but so someone overhead would see you.
  Any group that could fly between planets wouldn't care about little old us, but would want any watchdog overhead to keep them in sight. Thus the distinctive lighting.

Title: fancy shiny things increase the UFO sales helping to keep
Post by: tampamatt on June 28, 2006, 10:13:32 pm
the alien union strong. For all we know they probably had a finned tail light phase too. Hopefully they skipped the Pinto phase.

   Having had the leisure to be scared S***less up in Alsaka years ago watching the UFOs come and go with multi color models for a few nights in the bush I can only opine that there must be an asthetic value guiding an ordering system. If we have two stripes and gunny over there has his four why not a red ufo and big shot over there got promoted to  the white model with the finned tail lights?
  I 've even seen lasers coming from them, less than a mile away, deep in the bush. Alone. F-R-E-A-K-Y. Stick to bees man. stick to bees.

I read this and couldn't help but think - and the alien parents are still wondering why they put the lights on their vehicle (lol)

So... Why do space craft have running lights????

I had always assumed that they were navigation lights.  UFOs tend only to be reported in the skies above those first-world countries with large defence budgets.  Perhaps the answer lies there - rather than in the outer cosmos ?

They are trying to look like us. - Our aircraft that is. They have observed our air craft have lights, and windows, all lit up so they think by looking the same or similar they will go un-noticed
