    =====================

    I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?

    So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.

    But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.

    Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.

    I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.

    =====================
    Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.

    And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

Anyone in Florida notice a single light or three lights hanging low in the western sky? I'm in central florida and it would seem to be out over the gulf or maybe more inland. Its definitely out to the west. My daughter pointed it out because it was changing colors, red, blue, yellow and purple. Its moving a bit up and down and to the sides. The three lights turned into one light right before my eyes. I've never seen anything like this before. Its been there for about an hour, so it cant be a plane.

Its out there right now, if anybody would care to check and tell me I'm not going crazy. I heard that that the gulf is like a magnet for UFO's. This is the first time for me and I just don't believe what I'm seeing. My daughter is scared crap and thinks were being invaded.

I have video footage of this thing dancing around and changing colors. Is there anyone with experiences with this sort of stuff? Should I call someone? My wife is scared to call the police because she thinks its going to disappear and they will think were nuts or something.

Man...I'm bugging out right now and nervous as hell. I've never seen anything like this. I honestly thought my kid was seeing a plane but this isn't any plane or helicopter. Its round as far as I can tell and the light gets bigger and then shrinks. Sometimes its three lights with each a different size and color and then a second later its one light and they blend to make a purplish color.

Someone tell me its a flare. Do flares hang in the sky and do this sort of thing? It would make sense that maybe a boat is in distress and they fired a flare?

Thanks if you could confirm this or share your similar experience with these sorts of lights in the sky.
 
I used to see some scary stuff once in a while when I lived out in the middle of nowhere in NM. We told our boss, got a nice vacation and a mental eval. I wish I could give you some help or at least point you in the right direction.

Make sure you have your tinfoil hat on.
 
Now Chuck has left us for a while but when he returns he may seem a little different but just ignore that, Chuck is fine. He was not abducted, has not been anal probed :eek:, there is not a pod in the corner of his closet, ignore his requests to phone home and he has always had that scar at the base of his neck. :rolleyes:

Oh I'm not fine, I'm pretty far from fine. I've never seen anything like this and it really scared me. I've never watched the skies before for things like this to happen. This was just by chance that my daughter noticed something odd changing color in the night sky. I'm not saying I don't believe other folks who've claimed to see such odd things, just that I've never had any kind of real interest in sitting around and watching the sky for a chance event like such to happen.

This thing was incredibly bright and the colors, changing and blending, disappearing and re-appearing, were absolutely phenomenal.

I just don't know whether to feel blessed to have witnessed such a thing or be really scared. I guess you have to see something like what I've seen to fully understand what its like and the questions it leaves you with.

I have video of it but I don't have a cable to create a clip and upload it. I'm going to get one asap so people can view it and tell me what they think.

I did go to a few UFO related sites that had video clips last night and I found several clips that match what I saw in the sky. I was shocked to find that most of these video clips matched almost identical to what I've seen, and some were just taken as recent as 8-13-09, and one was actually taken 8-21-09 ( the night before I posted this).

Aliens.....they freak me out.
 
Well, MUFON is a place to start...

Try getting a hold of NOAA-National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration at www.noaa.gov and they can tell check to see it there were any "weather balloons" or such out there.

Best to rule out the things that the government is going to say it was before you contact NASA or some other group.

A "preemptive strike" with info from another agency may get someone to look into this seriously. If you say you've already spoken to someone to rule weather balloons out, what will they say??

And NO-I'm NOT mocking you. And I don't claim to have been abducted or have a chip in my neck.

And I don't wear tin foil beanies.

I honestly believe that with the vast size of our universe, with millions of solar systems and planets, a Higher Being would have put intelligent life on more than one planet.

Don't know if they're little green men or greys or some silicon based life forms, but I don't believe we are the only-or most-intelligent life forms there are.

Just look what we do to our planet, it's other life forms and each other.

NOPE-we certainly aren't the MOST INTELLIGENT.
 
You can also try NICAP-http;//www.nicap.org-National Investigations Committee On Aerial Phenomena.

I'm not too sure about the following two-they may be the tin foil hat people...

Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS)-www.cufos.org

Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal-www.csicop.org

I sincerely hope this helps.

Good luck, and keep us updated with what you find out!!

Ha, everyone knows I switched back to Gin! But I wasn't hammered.

Now I will confess that last month I saw a black man that resembled Samuel L. Jackson riding a unicycle backwards down my street....and I was fairly hammered, but this is Florida and its pretty damn hot, so not everything can be contributed to the volume of alcohol I consume.

I should have known better than to share with you guys. You bunch of drips are no fun at all. lol.
 
Seriously though, I watched the video again and something breaks off from whatever it was and zips up into the sky. I didnt even notice it last night when I posted. I've got the cable on order through ebay and you guys will be able to watch it soon enough and tell me what you think it is.

I showed my parents the video today and they were astonished to see what I filmed.

Absolutely will. I don't have a pc cable but I have one on order. I wasn't in a rush to get one but I am now. I want everyone to this. If it can be explained I definitely would like to read about the possibilities of what it could be.

Thanks to everyone for the support and the razzes.

You got that Stevie? Dont you pee on my picnic brother!!! lol.
 
Actually, I believe that the odds of there being *true* UFOs piloted by aliens is far greater than the odds of that circumstance being completely impossible.

Once you realize that it IS possible, then you have to then admit that anyone, at anytime, could possibly witness such an event.

The most puzzling fact of it all is that even with overwhelming evidence of the validity of many accounts of UFO sightings, the official responses are uniformly demeaning towards the reporter, and apparently designed to reduce or eliminate the incentive for people to report such sightings publicly. Even the slimmest of bonafide evidence that our planet is being visited by alien devices should be of the highest interest from our government, I would think. :shrug01:

I think it is but they just don't want to let the people know what they know.

It probably is of great interest to our government, they just don't want to alarm the general populace (along the lines of the War of the Worlds radio show panic). I also think they are greatly interested in ESP/telepathy, etc.. or maybe I am just paranoid (or they want me to *think* I am paranoid!).



Or maybe Chuck saw an elaborate stunt to promote the new District 9 movie. :D

EXACTLY!!!

PROJECT BLUE BOOK!!!

And what about the SETI program to search out extraterrestrial intelligence funded by our own government??

Whatever became of that??

DAMN!!!

That movie sucked ROCKS!!!

It's tied evenly with The Grudge for worst movie EVER, in my opinion.
