The suspicious side of me sometimes thinks, newbies purposefully post crap like this as an attempt to somehow discredit FreeRepublic by filling it up with bilge. But maybe that's just the suspicious side of me.

Or the terminally UNINFORMED side.

Several Freepers have shared their sightings with all of us by publicly posting UFO sightings, both Quix and myself have had private conversations with other freepers that have personally seen unidentified flying aerial objects.

Besides freepers, both Governers Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan saw an ufo?

For a documented scientific study done by Dr. Bruce Maccabee, (his PhD is in optical physics), of the 1950 photographs of an upside down pie pan shaped object taken over McMinneville Oregon in 1950, check out his website which I have pasted below. (LIFE magazine did a story of this sighting in the 50's.)

At least two freepers have personally seen a McMinneville type object over the years, one was in 1961 and the other in the late 90's.

BTW: When I joind FR in 2000, there was an occansional ufo posting, which I thought was interesting to see on a political oriented forum. (And as a FYI to you; FR has a/an ufo catagory in the general chat topic, obviously FR considers this as a "topic of interest".)

I'm certainly NOT a newby, and know they've been covering up stuff like this for 60 years or so. I'm a two-time CE-1, so I can verify that we're being lied to and discredited.

Now, if you want to start using some grey matter, instead of making jokes about the unknown, (maybe because you fear the unknown), then maybe we can accomplish something in the way of flushing out the truth, instead of nay-saying people who ernestly come here with evidence of weird goings on, instead of blindly joining the kook patrol and poking fun at what YOU can't explain!!!
