UFO Reports Detailed in Classified Doc Release

WELLINGTON, New Zealand - Mysterious lights in the sky and even a flying saucer are among the reported UFO sightings detailed in classified documents released by New Zealand's military this week.

The thousands of documents cover more than 50 years of New Zealanders' reports of encounters with unidentified flying objects.

Most files suggest natural explanations for the sightings, including meteors and reflections off boat lights.

Among the reports was one from a man who wrote a letter in 1955 to inform authorities he had seen flying saucers, even witnessing one take off.

The files also cover the country's best-known UFO mystery in 1978 in the southern island town of Kaikoura. A cargo plane reported strange lights following it and air traffic controllers detected radar blips that they could not explain.

The documents showed the government carefully took note of such reports, even if some citizens only received a polite thanks for their theories.

New Zealand's Defence Force released the files Wednesday under a freedom of information request.

The universe does not revolve around the Earth. At some point in time, "most people" on earth will be informed and come to realize that we are not alone in the galaxy much less the universe. All knowledge is not here on earth; in fact we are very much a 3rd tier world (much like a 3rd world nation). We are of little significance in the galaxy. Other civilizations are active all across the galaxy, while we earthlings can't even get past our own moon. Future "knowing" generations will look back on the uninformed centuries as the long age of darkness.

In fact, all knowledge of a scientific sort is here on earth, not elsewhere; humans made science. The concept of civilization is also a human construct. If other intelligent life exists in the universe, we'll have to use human powers to interpret it, but it may have its own way of knowing and may have no use for a concept such as "civilization". In short, it may not wish to be anthropomorphed.

Unfortunately only a privileged few are currently informed of what life thrives across the galaxy. Many on earth will prefer and choose to remain in darkness; in their comfort zone.

After reading a lot of the posts from quite a few fruitcakes on here, I am convinced more than ever that UFO's are real and have been dumping their outcasts and misfits here for decades. Please return as soon as possible.
ET..............Call home.
