Often the imagination of men defies reason, imagination is infectious, men see what they want to see, to wit: the Zimmerman case.
Why were the people at the beginning of the Superman show so excited about a bird or a plane in the sky?
While curious, I remain skeptical given the deception out there.
The truth remains elusive at best.
“My husband and I were amazed. We’re just regular people who saw something strange one day and still can’t reconcile that thing with our logical minds,”
This common type of statement by someone who has had a sighting is indicative of the ability to realize and overcome the natural tendency to 'explain away' an unusual observation.
Humans try to make everything fit into their idea of reality as a method of coping. The oddity of such reports triggers a defense of their version of reality, it is a threat and the tendency is to lash out to remove it from their world.
For those who can't accept the possibility of something they can't understand, I truly feel sorry for them. They are living in fear.
re: “From the prophet Ezekiel’s sighting of a flying wheel in 593 B.C. . . .”
This so-called “sighting” is always thrown in with the “evidence” that extra-terrestrials visited us in the past. There is no mystery to what Ezekiel saw. He tells the reader what it was - Cherubim from the presence of throne of God, which are winged creatures created by God who are always in His presence. The description of them is difficult to imagine as Ezekiel uses terms to describe them as best he can, plus most Bible scholars agree that the description also uses symbolism, so you have to be careful about taking it literally (hand of a man, wings, whole body full of eyes, etc.).
Further, if you read the entire chapter 10 of Ezekiel, you realize that the whole point of what he was envisioning was that the presence, the glory, and the Spirit of God was leaving the temple. Israels’ sin was so great that God’s glory left the temple. It was a message of judgement against the people of Israel at that point in time.
So, it is clear this has NOTHING to do with extra terrestrials or a flying saucer.
I wish I could see one.
Let’s face it: this article and the resulting discussion here were simply too coherent, and cast too focused a light on matters that - until now - had done something to some of us at some point.
I’m left with an uneasy sense of time missing and consciousness averted for reasons that lie like a murky pond in twilight, awaiting Truth . . . or maybe more coffee.

In my opinion there are several possibilities for UFOs if they are indeed physical craft that are flying around.
1. They are aliens from another star system.
This is the most popular choice as the aliens could be from another star system and their motivation ranges from benevolent observation all the way to an insidious invasion agenda. There could be multiple species if this is indeed true.
2. They are actually US from the future.
This is one recent theory where in our distant future we come back in time to check out our own history and probe the occasional redneck. Some reasons are that they may have genetic issues caused by cloning and they are looking for “fresh” genetic material.
3. They are actually US but from the PAST.
This is one theory no one besides a few others have brought up. However, it has taken only 6 thousand years to go from hunter gather type society to full blow technological species. Humans have been relatively unchanged for about 250,000 - 100,000 years. Neadertals had bigger brains and are even older. It only takes about 10,000 years for most evidence of a modern society to be worn away by nature, even less if glaciers run over it. We have had several ice ages in the time period that humans were unchanged. We could have had a civilisation that was formed 100,000 years ago and they came up with tech and left this planet and their descendants have come back to check on thiose left behind.
4. They are from Earth but not US.
This is the hypothesis that intelligent beings came about from a dinosaur line and they are living underground and curious about this new seemingly intelligent species known as humans.
5. They could be a combination of the ones above....
Personally I think #3 is more likely given the relative impossibility of interstellar flight.
A thread with discussion you might enjoy reading ...
If you want to get a rational idea of what flying saucers are, read the book “Intercept UFO” by Renato Vesco. Basically, it outlines the german development of flying saucer projects at the end of the war, and the allies won that war... 2 years later, we started seeing the results. Pretty simple. It obeys Occham’s Razor, which the ET hypothesis just ignores.
The best book ever written on this particular topic:
Vallee, Jacques, and Chris Aubeck, “Wonders in the Sky”
