No, aliens? We've got at least 12 million of them!

I'm a skeptic, but this does sound cheesy:

"The close proximity of plasma related fields can adversely affect a vehicle or person," states the report.

"Some UFO-spotters believe governments will always cover up the truth about UFOs, because they are afraid of admitting that there is something beyond their control."




Don't be absurd. They do control everything.

"UFO study finds no sign of aliens"

So this means that I can remove by tin-foil hat?

Well, for goodness sakes ... was it on autopilot or something? What is the point, then? That's what I want to know, what's the point?

They must not have been on the Mexican border. There are millions of aliens there.

Of course, that's what the aliens WANT you to believe. They no doubt wrote the report.

There are no 'aliens' because they are not alien...they have been here since the beginning...

But their end and those who have enabled them is getting closer and closer....

cue the 'Jepardy' soundtrack....

This is the new position for ufologists. Before many religious people began accepting the possibility that life may exist elsewhere, ufologists said the release of the information would destroy religion. I wonder what their next tin-foil excuse will be?

A confidential Ministry of Defence report on Unidentified Flying Objects has concluded that there is no proof of alien life forms.

"Proof"? No. But it is very likely that life exists out there somewhere.

Given the physics involved, I find it more likely that the objects in the sky are time travelers from our own future than interstellar travelers from our own galaxy

Q: Ever see a cow hide?

A: See how good they hide!

Seriously, any aliens advanced enough to come visit would be more than capable of remaining completely hidden, if such were their desire. Any aliens incompetent enough for us to find traces of them should be ashamed of themselves.
