    or perhaps you meant the Mariana Trench

    The sightings aboard the FDR convince me that if aliens are real they aren't extraterrestrial.

    Extraterrestrial aliens are stupid anyway.

    I routinely watch the sun go down just so I can see the effect in the OP.
    it's the jetstream from an airplane reflecting light from the setting sun

    whoooo

    edit: It's also horribly out of focus.

    Man I just watched the MonsterQuest episode on the Chupacabra

    that is some weird shit

    I would really like to believe that some of these cryptids are real

    Just... it would mean that there is still some mystery in this world, and I would like that

    either way, I could watch shows about this stuff all day

    I remember reading a short story that went something like that. Aliens came down to earth, running their shit on vacuum tubes. They were all, "Transistors! Holy shit! Boy are our faces red!"

    When I was like 15 I saw this bright, white light streaking across the sky. I thought it might be a plane, but it was daytime, so the lights wouldn't have been on, and it was raining that day, so there was no way I would have seen the landing lights through the clouds. Turns out that it was a rather sizable meteorite that hit ground somewhere in the mountains and started a brief-lived forest fire.

    Still, for a few hours that day I thought I'd seen a UFO.

    I was outside in my yard a few years ago, looking at the sky

    all of a sudden two stars, which had been stationary, start moving

    they move towards each other, cross, and switch places in the sky

    once they get there they go back to being stationary

    I was like whaaaaaaaaaaa?

    I shit you not

    It's what heaven truly is; a big icy prison for souls.

    Also, I was under the impression that there is no sound in space. Because there is no atmosphere to vibrate.
