Now and then they send out their scout crafts to spy on us these are the UFO's many claim to see yet all along there's massive motherships on our ocean floor waiting to take over the planet. But no need to worry we have Tom Cruise
No USOs,Unidentified Submerged Objects,they are a critical component to the overall UFO/ET theory.

A quote from Hippy, in The Abyss:
Quote:
A non-terrestrial intelligence. NTIs. Oh man, that's better than UFOs. Oh, but that works too, huh? "Underwater Flying Objects".
As to what it really is... I guess it's a good thing that equipment we use doesn't ever malfunction.

Cylon raider was what I thought of before the Falcon, too.

Finally, a last quote from The Abyss, this time from the inimitable Lindsey Brigman:
Quote:
We all see what we want to see. Coffey looks and he sees Russians. He sees hate and fear. You have to look with better eyes than that.

Reminds me of the 'face' structure found on Mars. Shadows played a roll in making what looked like a sculptured face. It was just a natural rock formation.

Is it? Or is that just what "they" want us to believe?...

When I look at the pic, I think "marine boiler".

If it is not simply a geologic formation, it could be the back plate for a coal-fired boiler, as the holes for the access doors are not present, but could be the front plate of an oil-fired boiler. That square cut-out portion looks to be the perfect spot for the oil injection system.

The Titanic's boilers were 30 feet in diameter.

The team was looking for a shipwreck. Did it use steam propulsion?

No plane could leave that big an impact crater on the moon and be in that pristine condition.

Duh...

Geez... what kind of thinking could possibly lead you to such a bizarre conclusion?

It's obvious what happened here. The Apollo missions were not sent to explore the moon. They were construction missions to reassemble the plane inside the crater, with the help of the Roswell Greys that originally brought it there. To cover for the secret missions, NASA faked footage of astronots walking around in spacesuits. Obviously they would not need spacesuits, as the aliens have already terraformed the moon to be inhabitable for all the people they abducted from Atlantis before they sank it to pin Cthulhu to the sea floor.
