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…

Why is this shocking? UFOs exist - anyone who denies that is an idiot. Why do I say that? That is because a UFO is simply an Unidentified Flying Object. People see objects in the air that can't be easily or quickly identified. It happens all the time.

Now, do flying saucers or little green men exist? No, I don't think so. But UFOs most definitely exist.

How could WE be the only ones in this vast universe? I have never doubted the existence of UFOs, and am anxious to find out more about them before I kick the bucket. My parents, along with at least twenty other people, saw a UFO in the southern California sky in the 50s. It was there, but still hasn't been explained.

An unidentified flying object is, in and of itself, a pretty straightforward classification.

However, the term "UFO" is often used as shorthand for the spaceships of alien visitations, and that is exactly how both the Jennings special and this review use the term.

So, in your opinion, UFOs exist but not in the shape of saucers. Interesting, very interesting............
