Had you been, er, probed?

A woman at a petrol station noticed a spaceship landing in front of her. An alien stepped out of the spaceship and started to pump gas into it. The woman noticed the letters ''U.F.O.'' printed on the side of the ship. She turned to the alien and asked ''Does U.F.O. stand for Unidentified Flying Object?'' The alien answered, ''No, it stands for Unleaded Fuel Only!''

Otta I can't tell if I had been probed or not, but I had stinging nettle scratches all over me and my hair was a mess. I was a bit of a p@?? artist back in the day so it could have been just me going off on a bit of a beano. However, my friend who was abducted by the yellow light told me that these creatures can wipe your memory clear after they've played about with you in their ship. Who knows, I may have been probed after all.


Louisa.

The problem with this post is you imagine aliens think like you. They probably have a way of thinking completely alien to you. If you were to walk across a trail of ants and stopped to pick your nose, do you think the ants would wonder why you bothered them? They might but you might be blissfully unaware of them or not as the case may be. Either way it wouldn't matter.

of course, I was poking fun.


But intellignece and technological achievement at the very least imply two things, an understanding of cause and effect and picturing goals to achieve.


This means that there's some point to crpossing the universe, hanging about above peckham rye for a bit, then going elsewhere. However alien their thinking it seems a bit of a waste of time.


I'd get it more if we were detroyed for an intestellar bypass without bothering to tell us....

I'm amazed someone else remembers the UFO in Waverley upper,I have a hazy recollection of it (perhaps we aren't supposed to be able to remember it) was it about 1977/78.I also remember the adults ushering us in but truly cannot recall ever having a conversation about it.Im glad somebody else has spoken about it as I thought I may have imagined it as I was 12 or 13 at the time.

loni: I too am amazed that someone else remembers it as the person I was with all those years ago vaguely remembers it but doesn't recollect it as clearly as me!

I'm not sure of the year, it could have been post 77 or 78 and the other thing it was in the evening (maybe the workers that came rushing out where to do with a post school club/youth club)???

Hi Laur, how bizarre,it possibly could have been 76/77 but I thought it was late afternoon playtime although it may have visited before.I find it incredible that no,one else has mentioned this and I do see quite a few people who would possibly have been there at the time.Maybe only certain people see them like ghosts or children who are often disbelieved,personally I've never said as I feel people think you are making it up.note that the person who started this thread admitted to having a few pints,also the people in America who talk about abduction are ridiculed and perhaps that's why no,one with any sense talks about it. I am actually quite sceptical and a sensible person.

    • Every year they ask for more and every year it is an exhausting process pushing back on that for local residents and councillors. What annoys me is that at the post event consultation/ feedback this year, I specifically asked them if the rumours around applying for two weekends next year were true. They told me no. So that was a lie. Anyway, we go again.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
