The late Mercury 7 astronaut Gordon Cooper (Dennis Quaid portrayed him in "The Right Stuff") wrote a fascinating autobiography called "Leap of Faith." Most of the book is about his life and adventures as a pilot and astronaut. Only a few pages in the book are devoted to his personal experiences with UFOs and UFO coverups, but those few pages are enough for me. You can stick to the ignorance that enables you your bliss and joyous derision -- it's too late for me. While I hope you're right that it's all the mere fantasies of "kooks," I'm pretty sure that hope would be in vain.

More to the point, I sure as HELL hope we never find out en masse in our lifetimes that Gordo and the folks you dismiss as "kooks" (that would include my husband and his son, along with a whole lotta other pretty credible, level-headed people) were telling the truth after all.

Not quite sure whether you are

1) a fearless believer
2) a believer who is scared (sounds like bedlinen)less
3) a spiteful alien
4) hoping your husband is a liar
5) sure there is a squadron of alien spacecraft poised to invade your property and cart you off.
6) an aeronautical engineer with technical schematics

Just want hard scientific evidence dude.

When that happens Ill be the first to throw the party.

Fantastical claims must produce some hardcore evidence.

Science is the best methods to dessriminate between BS and fact.

When the facts change, Ill change my opinion. What do you do?

Funny how these visits of the most “intelligent creatures in the universe” always seem to land in rural Alabama in front of two toothless, beer-drinking pogey fishermen.

What is wierd is that our level headed conservative friends refuse to consider the evidence. Walter Haut’s posthumous affidavit is an important development. Now they will attack Walter, by they do not impeach the facts of his testimony. Walter was there, the critics were not. What has Walter to gain at this point? Bragging rights in Hell?
