My sensibilities offended? {^)

Pretty obviously, YOU are the one offended at my being skeptical of your claim that "I could do that! Anybody could fake that picture -- heck, I did it when I was 15!" Yeah -- right. :^)

Personally, I think that folks who knee-jerk to things like this the way you do, are incapable of handling the scary truth or of even seriously pondering its possibility.

I have never seen a UFO (that I know of), I never want to see one, and I also know that it is MUCH more far-fetched to think that people from all walks of life who have lifelong histories of straightforward honesty and sanity (several known personally to me) suddenly become delusional and tell whoppers about UFOs at the risk of tainting their careers and their reputation.

THAT is a whole lot harder to believe, a whole lot more ridiculous, than the idea that Yes Virginia the Good Lord DID create more than just us in His universe ... and in fact even the Bible mentions other beings.

Or maybe you think Gordon Cooper, one of the Mercury 7 astronauts, was a delusional liar of titanic proportions? Try reading his fascinating autobiography "Leap of Faith." I read it NEVER expecting any mention at all of UFOs (I was only interested in the Mercury 7 program history), and while the vast majority of the book is about other topics, he made it CRYSTAL CLEAR with detailed personal first-person accounts to illustrate WHY in his opinion, the US government has engaged in a very strong-armed calculated cover-up (which I don't blame them for doing -- people would flip out, mass panic, witness your own behavior). You can believe he's lying ... if you need to.

See, in my EXPERIENCE, the idea that he and so many others are lying or "mistaken" in what they saw, strains credulity WAY more than the idea of extraterrestrial life -- absent emotions and feeling threatened, that is. The only people who will allow their credulity to be that pushed, are SCARED of what they might have to accept otherwise.
