I think Michael should of just said he would answer questions after his story was completed. Its a shame that those who are really interested have now got to wait. I cant wait to hear how it will turn out. I dont care if its true or not, its a good story. icon_smile.gif

You should have faith in Michael....he is a nice guy when he says he will keep us informed i just somehow way down in the pit of my stomach know this to be true...

I feel Michael has shown us a new side to the way we look at life with a very very important lesson to learn ....cherise every moment you have amonst the living...for you only get one shot at it....make the most of what life has to offer

Already i am concious of how others feel when i say something which may upset them and today i have been extra careful not to make anyone feel like this...the journey of life is certainly an adventure but when you really look at it, its a very short one.....

My friends whether you believe Michael is telling the truth or not...the real question here is why is he telling us these things what is he trying to teach us...i have my own opinion and wish not to express it as i want you to make up your own minds

I'm sure i will speak to some of yhou very soon

Regards Chris icon_wink.gif

Hi again.

For those who've mentioned "The Lovely Bones", it's by Alice Sebold and if you haven't read it you really really should!

hey anna just so you know i live in New Mexico and there would be absolutly no reason for aliens to ever go to roswell. people make it out to be this big place filled with creepy aliens and all that jazz, hell there was even a TV show called roswell. but in reality it's about 3 gas stations a handful of houses and a lot of giftshops that sell little plastic green aliens. in all probabilty it was a weather baloon or a new prototype airplane, we do design those here after all.

I never understood why these aliens travelled across the galaxy only to crash at Roswell.

These guys must have been the Three Stooges of the galaxy!

Wood,

What actually makes you believe in aliens? I have an open mind towards the possibility but have to honestly say nothing has convinced me personally.

As for ghosts or spirits, I'm a definite believer since they are a very real part of my life. It's all a matter of personal perception I suppose. I doubt I would believe in ghosts if I weren't witness to so much myself. In fact, until a met my first spirit 4 years ago I rarely gave the possibility a thought. Now I consider Mary to be a friend. She's like an extended member of my family.

Sometimes situations present themselves and you either accept and embrace them, or write yourself off as a lunatic. I'm pretty sane *chuckle*

It would be interesting to talk to someone who has the same outlook towards the possibility of life on other planets.

Cheers!
Ekaterina

Here's a radical idea - give Micheal his own thread, where he can continue to post his story while everyone else debates the merits of it in here ...

BTW Micheal Fortean Times Message Board is full of people who very much believe in the paranormal/supernatural, you'd feel quite at home there, do drop by sometime for a visit ...

Ok so i am still very impressed with the logo change and the page magic last night. I have chatted with admin and they have looked at there logs, there was no one hacking and the maintaince log showed no one messing with directories. The only way for this to happen would be a very cleaver person indeed in the field of web design and programing with the password to access the files, i have asked a web designer friend of mine today f this is poss, he was stumped, unless some one has new technoligy they are using.
On a differant level could this have been one of those unexplainable spirit happenings. So many people are asking for proof about this post. maybe they should try and find how the site was tamperd with last night. After all this was a physical happening that was seen by at least 5 people, myself included.

It does feel like a bit of a let down icon_sad.gif but can you blame him?
All will be cleared up soon though, I trust that Michael will be back icon_smile.gif

There is no way you should feel let down after all you have been part of this. He will be back and i think it will be huge. The info we get next will be the best i am sure. Dont worry. I hate it when someone says that to me lol.

Badger, we did see the logo flip.


I contacted Admin who replied to me twice. They seemed as baffled as we were.

"With regards the logo being upside down I think lack of sleep must be the cause here. It is not possible to turn the logo upside down. That would mean someone having access to our servers. Besides, anyone accessing the server or loading up a new file or making any changes would be logged. In case we have had a hacker I have just checked the server logs and no one has been in there so it must be someone playing tricks or making it up I think.
 
I am sure that this is the work of a good story writer. Whoever it is its someone pretty clever who can hide their IP address and even fool our techie so I will reserve judgement on someone accessing our server until I have run a few checks just to make sure but like I said there is no evidence to suggest this and our server is very secure with all the latest security patches installed."

"To turn a logo upside down would be possible if you had access to the server. You would just use photoshop or whatever and then turn it upside down and load it up to the server then replace it again with the original. But this would be logged."
 
"The page turning upside down? Impossible. There is no way of writing the HTML code upside down like that with all the messages involved and the various threads and coding."

I'd love to say that all made sense to me but I'll just relpy with "Yes".

Lobelia Overhill did you see the whole page flip. Is that what you meant posted about 2.15ish (sorry can't jump back and forth without text flippin out) "Ooo it took me longer than a few mins to read this thread ... it was upside down the whole time".

I t was defo nothing to do with being tierd, i saw it and ozzy i close friend of mine saw it, it was upside down. one person seing it, yes tierd comes to mind but this really did happen. it is in my eyes untill if poss you can check logs 100%, it is unexplainable, and really should be looked into properly, when this has all died down.

Tracy, i am sure you have not got a sad little life. icon_cool.gif
