Funny.

I’ve always thought it odd that people claim to ‘believe’ in something which by definition is unidentified.

I like Jacques Valee’s quip - ‘I’m the only ufologist who doesn’t know what UFOs are.’

I'm not saying "believe" anything here, but I am saying I was present back in 1975 when an "unexplained" incident occured in Montana. I was a computer maintenance man on the NORAD Sage Air Defense Computer, stationed at the 24th NORAD Region, Malmstrom AFB, MT. I was on duty and on the Senior Director's Dias the evening/ morning that an event occured that eventually was featured on the Robert Stack show "Unsolved Mysteries". I did see the objects, whatever they were, on the SAGE system's display. Here is a clipping from sometime in the 80's from the Great Falls news paper recounting the event I was a witness to.

I have an opposite take on it. Scratch the term, “believe in.” That applies to things that are unseen. The correct question is, do you believe they exist? The answer, of course, is YES. People see objects in the sky that are “flying.” If you can’t identify what they are, the are unidentified flying objects. To deny them would be insanity.

Whether or not they come from another planet, that’s a whole other question.

The best answer as to what UFOs are may well be “all of the above.”

Cool.
You found it funny. I’m glad.
I am always glad to make at least some 0.001
measurable amount of contribution, in some
small way to other people. “Funny” works for me.
