"Well I just so happen to work with FAA officials on a regular basis, and I'll take the word of the highly trained technical professional folks I know over the limp wristed liberal journalists at some Chicago newsrag any day."

You would be insane to "take their word" in a case like this. Ask your self, if the FAA had knowledge of an such an unidentified object, would they disclose it in public? Of course they wouldn't, it would cause mass panic.

So the FAA statement adds or subtracts nothing from the wittiness accounts. Zero, Zilch... For you to suggest that it does is laughable.

This is the single most ludicrous thing that UFO/alien visitation believers perpetuate; the idea that if the government had knowledge of visiting aliens they would suppress that information for fear of causing panic. BULL!!! Every government official worth his wardrobe would be running to the press to get that information out for the simple reason that, in times of fear and uncertainty, the public turns to the government and extends virtually unlimited trust to their leadership.

Widespread public knowledge of alien visitation would mean vastly increased power for those in charge now, and if such visitation were happening, you can bet they'd be making sure we knew about it.

Well at least they have gone on record, with names, of those claiming there is no physical evidence of anything other than clouds in the sky. Even United's official position is nothing happened. Claims of the extraordinary require extraordinary proof, there's simply too many kooks and false sightings for anything else to fly.
