keyhole kate Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 when OH and I were courting and out for a drive we saw a UFO (honest) which scared us witless when it followed the car headlights we hid under trees and turned the lights off We decided not to mention to anyone in case they thought we were loopy. The following week local paper carried a feature that two police officers had also seen it and asked Luton trafic control who knew nothing local residents had also reported the sighting Nessie Yup Definately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joking apart it would be so nice to have a family of sea and lake monsters still living in the world because it would help everyone in the history of the planet.

Ardene5 Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 In the ancient language of Cornwall, the name MORGAWR, meaning 'Sea Giant', describes an enormous marine monster which lives in the waters of Falmouth Bay. A long-necked sea-serpent, similar in appearance to the famous 'Nessie' of Loch Ness. Cornwall is known as the 'Land of Legend' and, until fairly recently, the Great Cornish Se-Serpent was regarded as part of that legend; a romantic rumour, a mythological beast, a figment of the Celtic imagination, along with piskies, mermaids and spriggans. However, a hundred years ago, a long-necked monster was caught by fishermen in Gerrans Bay. Fifty years later, a Mr. Reece and a Mr. Gilbert, trawling three miles south of Falmouth netted an amazing creature. It was twenty feet long, with an eight foot tail, a 'beaked' head, scaly legs, and a broad back covered with 'matted brown hair'. Marine Biologists of the day were unable to identify the beast. One sunny evening in September 1975, Morgawr was spotted off Pendennis Point. Mrs Scott, of Falmouth, and her friend Mr. Riley, saw a hideous, hump-backed creature, with 'stumpy-horns', and bristles down the back of its long neck. The huge animal dived for a few seconds, then resurfaced with a conger eel in its jaws. Mrs. Scott says that she will never forget 'the face on that thing', as long as she lives. Shortly after the Scott/Riley sighting, Morgawr was encountered by several mackerel fishermen, and blamed for bad luck, bad weather and bad catches. In January 1976 a strange (and, so far unidentified) carcase was discovered on Durgan Beach, Helford River, by Mrs. Payne of Falmouth. For a while it was thought that the monster was dead, until the 'Falmouth Packet' newspaper published two photographs of Morgawr, taken in February by a lady who called herself 'Mary F'. They showed a long necked, hump backed creature, at least eighteen feet long, swimming in the water off Trefusis Point, near Flushing. 'Mary F's', monster was described as 'black or very dark brown', with a snake-like head and 'humps on the back which moved in a funny way'. After publishing those historic photographs, the 'Packet' received a flood of letters from people who claimed to have seen Morgawr. Estimates of the creature's length varied from twelve to forty five feet. At the beginning of May, two London bankers, on a fishing holiday, saw a pair of monsters in the mouth of the Helford River. Now it seems as if Falmouth Bay could contain a whole family of Sea Serpents! So there you have it we do have a sea monster like Scotland.

Valkyrie Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 When we used to go to Porthcurnick (?) beach next to Portscatho quite a lot (the beach at Falmouth is too stoney, although went there a fair bit too) - we found out that we had been inadvertantly swimming with the sharks - only noticed the fins when we got out. Apparently they had come in close to shore for mackerel! I think they were porbeagle sharks. In those days nothing came in between my swimming and the sea. But there are also plenty of huge basking sharks out there too which may account for some sightings. Sometimes dolphins bobbing along can look like one long serpent. The only thing I don't like in the water is . . . seaweed because it's black and spooky when you look down! Mind you, if I went in nowadays there would be one tidal wave and someone shouting "thar she blows"! Well the physiotherapist said I had the beginnings of a dowagers hump! But I don't have bristles - in the 60's and 70's and some of the 80's I most likely would have been around there in the summer and I did have long hair, but I am not a sea monster - although my 2 teenagers would say I make a good dragon! In the old days a lot of smuggling went on - still does, so it wouldn't surprise me if things were made to frighten supersticious locals or nosey grockles and hems. Or maybe they were decoys so that while attention was focused on the monsters, naughty shenanigans were going on further round the coast.

Ardene5 Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 Hi Some of our pop groups could be aliens with their names. Can anyone think of them?

jess Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Yes definitely I love reading about aliens and am particularly interested in alternative histories like zecharia sitchins books http://www.scribd.com/search?previous_query=zecharia+stitchin&query=zecharia+sitchin&x=0&y=0 some of which are on scribd.

Ardene5 Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 Koojie can get about around Basingstoke because of the river Loddon, which is a tributary to the river Thames and the sea, also the River Backwater, The Ash Aqueduct and the Basingstoke Canel.

Valkyrie Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 The Canal is very handy, but it stops at Greywell so I have to get out and walk. Otherwise the world's my oyster - or should I say conger eel. I do love sushi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 PS Ardene5 - seen the news this morning and thought of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardene5 Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 hi Has any one seen this in the papers this morning? On a cloudy night in Kent, Milton Torres, a US air force fighter pilot based at RAF Manston, was scrambled to intercept a UFO. Ordered to go full throttle towards East Anglia, within minutes he was 15 miles from a mysterious blip that looked as big as a B-52 bomber on his screen. He was ordered to fire a full salvo of 24 missiles, but before he could, the object vanished. Details about the incident, on May 20, 1957, appear among 19 files released by the Ministry of Defence and newly revealed by the National Archives. It is the second tranche of UFO files to be made public since a handful were released in May. The reports range from the bizarre to the intriguing. There is the Alitalia pilot who shouted to his co-pilot to "look out" as a brown, missile-shaped object shot past the cockpit, and a sketchy self-portrait of a pointy-eared woman in a gown, who told the MoD she had crashlanded on Earth during the second world war, having left her home planet of warrior women. The MoD released the files, covering 1986 to 1992, after a flood of requests from enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists who are convinced the truth is out there. Details of the East Anglia event only emerged after Torres, who was warned never to mention it, did discuss it with a military historian at a reunion at RAF Manston in 1988. The MoD, whose policy until 1967 was to destroy UFO files every five years, had no data on the event. An account from Torres, now 77 and living in Florida, describes his anxiety at failing to fire after struggling to read codes on a s"Ooops, word censored!" of paper in the cockpit of his F-86D plane. "It was totally black and the lights were down for night flying. I used my flashlight, still trying to fly and watch my radar. To put it quite candidly, I felt very much like a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest," he said. David Clarke, a UFO expert at Sheffield Hallam University, said: "If the UFO had turned out to be a civil aircraft that had strayed off its course, it could have been a major international incident, and yet it's been airbrushed out of history." He believed the pilot was a guinea pig in a test of the Palladium system, developed by the US to make "phantom" aircraft appear on Soviet radars. Another incident in Britain, in April 1991, recorded a captain of an Alitalia airliner, flying at an altitude of more than four miles on route to Heathrow from Milan, seeing a missile-like object. At first this was labelled "cruise missile?" but it was quickly found not to be a military weapon. There were a number of similar sightings within the next six months. Four passengers on a Dan Air Boeing 737 spotted a "wingless projectile" flying under their plane. Other papers reveal the MoD's sensitivity to military helicopters taking pictures of crop circles, which they feared would undermine the line that the government had no interest in the phenomenon. Documents also relate how a Tina Turner concert triggered a spate of UFO sightings in London in 1989, and how one person was "contacted by aliens" descended from "legendary feathered serpents from ancient Peru". Clarke said the papers showed the government could not conceal anything and that people were not going to find "that elusive bit of evidence that proves we're being visited by aliens".

kitbag Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 OOOOOOOOHHHHH thats scary!! They had all the UFO sighting stuff on GMTV this morning!! I'm not scared!! xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardene5 Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Hi It is the old old story when the Government start saying there is not such thing as a UFO then why or why keep the files secret? We all know there are things within this planet still to discover as we also discover the other planets. Therefore there will be other planet people looking at our planet and saying what is there, lets go and look? So what is new? The truth is out there lets all see what it is.

Ardene5 Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 Hi Has anyone thought about the legends of places in England, Scotland , Ireland and Wales. What is true and what is possibly true. In Ireland they talk about small people the size of children and call them Leprechauns. Then in some of the lakes like Loch Ness they have Tarbh' Usige which is a form of water bull. There is also the dobharchu monster also known as the Irish Serpent describe both with and without a main. Around about 25 feet plus in length and 5 feet plus in diameter. These do not have any feet but do have a tail similar to a whale. So what can you say about other areas?

bronze Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I dont think anyone is stupid enough to deny the existence on UFOs. Afterall a plane is a UFO until someones says' oh look its a plane'. Alien life on the other hand is something that can be debated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardene5 Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 On April 25, 1977, the Japanese fishing ship Zuiyo Maru, trawling for mackerel off the coast of New Zealand, snagged a rotting corpse at a depth of 900 feet and hauled in the remains of a beast that no one anywhere seemed to be able to identify. "It's not a fish, whale, or any other mammal," said Professor Yoshinori Imaizumi of Japan's National Science Museum, in the Asahi Shimbun newspaper story that broke the news to the world. "It's a reptile, and the sketch looks very like a plesiosaur. This was a precious and important discovery for human beings. It seems to show that these animals are not extinct after all." I wonder if Kate in NZ can find out any other facts about this possible Plesiosaur which I am sure feeds on fish and these type of reptile are still around with us today.

Ardene5 Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 What straight things are locked up in the frozen ice? We are being told that the polar ice could melt so therefore there could be new finds of straight animals or fish that no one knows about or is this where these Lake monsters live when not giving us odd photos. So what truth are we next going to learn....................???? Best regards Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
