WHY would a serious journalist like Peter Jennings tackle a silly subject like UFOs? Maybe it's because 40 million Americans can't be wrong. It turns out that 40 million of us have claimed to have seen UFOs, while half — yes, half — of all Americans believe in their existence… < snip >
So, why, if millions of people have seen UFOs, are the eyewitnesses immediately reduced to the level of raving loonies (from "lunar")? Interestingly enough, that is the legacy of another successful government PR campaign…< snip >
The feds thought they could keep a lid on UFO sightings and keep a budding worldwide panic under control by making witnesses look crazy. Yes, it seems you could fool all of the people all of the time… < snip >
Good for Jennings for reaching for the stars!

OK, I know who the one in the box is, but who's the alien wearing the jacket and tie?
High priorities over at ABC news.
People who believe in UFOs had to vote for Kerry; after all he had an Unidentified Foreign Objectives.
Geraldo joins Jennings on an expedition beneath streets of Chicago to confirm Al Capone's vault actually contained an invisible Alien spacecraft.
Jennings reports "It is no coincidence that Capone and the constellation Capricorn have 5 letters in common. Even more stunning is that Al Capone's facial scar was nearly identical in appearance to the stars in Orion's Belt. What did Mr Bush know and when did he know it?"
/sarcasm
ABC reports, we laugh.....
Well, Ms. Stasi seems convinced. Another woman that was similarly convinced that aliens were here and were controlling our minds used to rant near Columbia University on the corner of 116th St and Broadway.
Her proof was irrefutable: If you didn't agree with her, the aliens had YOU under control already.
Now that is really scary!
I'm still waiting for the explanation of the "voices from hell!"... Ooooooooh, creeeeeeepie....
From a great episode of the Simpsons when Homer and Ned Flanders go to Las Vegas to allow Flanders to sow some wild oats. Unfortunately, they end up getting married to two Vegas hostesses and start walking home to Springfield and while doing so start to cook up their alibi.
Homer: All right, let's get our stories straight for Marge and
Maude. [the two begin walking down the highway] We were out
buying them fabulous gifts ...
Ned: What's the occasion?
Homer: Because we love them, jackass! Anyhoo, we came out of Wal-
Mart when suddenly, one hundred spaceships ...
Ned: Homer!
Homer: You're right, you're right, fifty spaceships beamed us
aboard. They gang-probed you, while I discovered an
invention that blew their heads up and saved America.
Ned: Uh, do I have to be gang-probed?
[two vultures land on the highway behind them, first looking
at Ned and Homer, then each other]
Homer: Would you rather tell Maude the truth?
Ned: [sighs] What did the aliens look like?
Homer: Well, I only saw them from the back 'cause they were so busy
gang-probing you. Well hello, little birdie! [fade to
black]

I don't know, but I'm dying to find out :D
Isn't that in the Notevenwithatenfootpole nebula?
Al Gore was born.
There are people who have argued with me, telling me I did not know what I saw, when I know damned good and well otherwise: The craft about 500 yards away.
Furthermore, it is the height of arrogance to believe we are the only form of intelligent life in the universe.
I know all about the skeptics, like Phillip Klass, who says they don't exist simply because he has never seen one. Bugger him.
Gort, Klaatu, barrada, nicto..... Peter, Jennings.
bump!
Furthermore, it is the height of arrogance to believe we are the only form of intelligent life in the universe.
It is the height of strawman debate to state that those of us who don’t believe aliens have flown ships through our atmosphere believe that intelligent life doesn’t exist anywhere else in the universe.
I will continue to believe that there are time and space limitations that restrict visitations by any intelligent life that may exist elsewhere in the universe, until shown a single iota of PROOF otherwise.
Your statement that you saw something you couldn’t identify provides proof of very little. It proves only that you typed a statement asserting that you believe you saw something you could not identify. Next time, swipe a bylantium hubcap or something.
