Yes, I know they are not similar. I was talking about the shape :)
Yes, and it's the shape that is the key to the pyramid's stability. You've got most of the weight down towards the bottom and what's above it is supported in a fashion that spreads its weight evenly.
Also, pyramids were built by a whole bunch of other cultures throughout history in places like India, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, and so on.
Heck, pretty much all surviving ancient monuments beyond a certain size are pyramids. It's about the only thing they could build to last.
The fact that UFOs exist is undeniable, but the explanation for it, Beings from another part of the universe or extra advanced human technology...I dont know which one is more scary...
3 of my pals said they saw a UFO from a camp site in Devon.
They said they saw it moving towards them until it got a few hundred yards away, and it looked a bit like an aeroplane on fire. It then shot directly up into the sky, vertically, in the blink of an eye. Shortly after that it came down again and hovered above them for a short time, at which point it was most visible (described as a static circular form with a light rotating around it - the stereotype!), before shooting off towards the horizon, again, again in the blink of an eye. They're pretty sensible regular guys (not silver-foil hat wearing loons or WUMs so no jokes about west-country types being at the scrumpy!), and couldn't figure out what it could have been.
One of them posted a description on a UFO reporting site to see if he could get an explanation from anyone else, but didn't get one. I guess it was just the movement (motionless hovering , followed by blinding movement seemingly with no acceleration required to reach top speed). I wouldn't be too surprised if there's some pretty flash airborne technology around that we haven't seen, but I'd like to know what it was. Normally I'm a bit sceptical about these stories, but it's different when you hear it from someone very trustworthy.

Very similar to an experience a large group of us had while on fieldwork in Pembroke once (~1998 ), especially the bit I put in bold. Maybe about 10 people saw it. But it was much higher in the sky.
Something was definitely moving strangely in the sky, kind of rotating, but the weirdest thing was the way it rocketed up into the sky at an incredible rate.
One of the group was a little bit 'prepared to believe' and said he could see 3 lights in a triangular formation, but for the rest of us that was rubbish. Most, including me, just saw a bright light, moving quickly and strangely, then vanishing upwards. It was weird.
I still don't have a satisfactory explanation, but I wonder if it was something burning up on entry (like a meteor), giving the appearance of it rocketing upwards as it dwindled. It wouldn't explain your mates Devon experience though.
Trouble is, to detract from the plausibility we'd just come back from the pub! A bit like the aliens spraying Homer Simpson with rum after his encounter!
I've seen some very weird ufo-y type stuff. all of them in roughly a 3 year space from about 2006-2009. never seen anything remotely weird before or since but saw loads in that time.
perhaps the weirdest one was actually a UGO (Unidentified Ground Object - I've just made that up) when I was out at my parents farm looking into the distance out the fields at the back of the house around dusk time, and suddenly saw a section of the entire horizon at ground level light up with literally hundreds of brightly flashing orange lights. the area they covered must've been at least a couple of miles wide along the ground, and they all seemed to slowly move in unison over the hills and to the right before eventually disappearing a few at a time. I've thought about this quite a bit since and have absolutely no idea what they were. no roads out there just rolling fields. whole thing lasted maybe 10 minutes or so. the way they were flashing was bizarre, really fast and intensely and bright orange ,and not like any kind of vehicle lights
We revisited this subject in the pub last night, with some friends new to the conversation. One guy got us worried, as we could all sort of relate to his issue: he'd had a bad fall off a slide as a kid and whacked his head on the concrete base (good old 1970's kids parks) and was unconscious in hospital for a while - ever since then, he'd had a worry that he had in fact stayed in a coma state, and everything else since was just a dream and not reality.
Creeped me out a bit, to be honest, as I've knocked myself out a few times and I could sort of see where he was coming from - is this really real, or have the last 30-40 years been a figment of my unconscious imagination...?!

I know it's not my imagination.
If it was, I'm sure my imagination would produce a completely absurd "retro sci-fi" distant future (i.e. after year 2000) where people would not have flying cars, and would be still programming ZX-Spectrum games!
You could sit that next to your nice phone, and listen to tape loops of the Open University, whilst using a big brown and beige 70's microwave with melt proof doors to heat up a Vesta Curry.
Or you could make some Smash balls to eat whilst listening to some Russ Conway Tape Reels, and constipate yourself for a month :p

Can't make out much apart from the light. I might send that link to my mate and see if his experience was similar though.
If it is, it unfortunately throws our pub theory of "surfing aliens" out of the window...

Question is ... WHICH ONE!?!?!?
...Are they "before" and "after" photos?
...If so, which way round should they be?
...And "before" and "after" what exactly?
:confused:
Before you pronounce/spell it one way, and after you pronounce/spell it the other way :razz:
The dude on the left is probably annoyed because someone nicked his piano.
Camping + Devon = Magic Mushrooms!
Myth Busted! :p
Now that's one I'd like to see the Mythbusters team take on.

Health & safety, probably.. :p
They're not that different to us..
Because alien tourism agencies usually organize a party on board?

I also have a hankering to think that all forms of Paranormal Phenomena are real, but, I put that down to reading Fortean Times for over 20 years :-)

Good one! Similarly:
That the England football team have a fine chance of winning every World Cup or Euro's they qualify for...
Fine, as in exceedingly slim?
