“So what is it about UFOs that continues to excite our imaginations? To some people, the subject has become almost a religion and perhaps that gets to the heart of it. Those who study the subject are on a quest not just for the truth, but for meaning.”
It just goes to show you that people will believe anything!
It is a “religion” to some. Facts and reality don’t stop them for believing what they WANT to believe. It tickles the imagination. Reality isn’t as exciting ... . Yes, we are alone!

It’s about as much of a religion as scientology. It’s just like the conspiracy theory nuts that claim the lunar landing was faked and that Desert Storm was “fought” at NTC. From someone that spent six months over there, it sure didn’t look like Kalifornia to me.
These people are nutcases

well whatever but I’m a serious Christian with 18 yrs studying religions....There are ufo’s in the bible and there are kicked out angels we will fight at Armaggedan.
God ,thru Christ also talks of the veil over our eyes in protection of things we need not see...............

There are two possibilities, either we’re alone in the universe, or we aren’t. I don’t know which is true, but both are equally frightening.

UFOs are real, but we don't know what they are, where they are from or what they are doing. There are tens of thousands of reports by sober, reasonable and responsible people. Millions upon millions of people have seen UFO's. Jacque Vallee's point is that such a phenomenom, with the potential or threat of profound change is a proper subject for scientific research. Saying that UFO's don't exist is not to search for the truth.
I've read a lot on the topic. There is definitely truth in what you say: "Facts and reality dont stop them for believing what they WANT to believe. It tickles the imagination. Reality isnt as exciting ...
So, what you have to do, is search for the serious researchers, who are trying to find the truth. In my opinion, the best is Jacques Vallee. Here are some Amazon links:
1. Challenge to Science : the UFO Enigma
2. Dimensions: A Casebook of Alien Contact
3. Revelations-Alien Contact and Human Deception
4. UFO Chronicles of the Soviet Union: A Cosmic Samizdat

Reminds me of what the senate said about the American People this week on the Amnesty Bill!
