The thing about UFOs is that the exist. After all, anything flying that has not yet been identified IS an Unidentified Flying Object. Thus, UFOs exist, and are infact not uncommon.

It is just that when identified they turn out not to be alien in origin.

I believe that during the 80s and late 70s some of the tests of the F-117 prototypes and operational craft, as well as the B-2, could easily have been mistaken as alien UFOs. Maybe people see experimental craft, and being UFOs (since they are not identified) and of strange construction (maybe for radar-signature minimization, or maybe trying to optimize performance at hypersonic speed leading to unorthodox shaping), and assume they are ALIEN UFOs.

As for Alien UFOs, the crazy thing is that people automatically scoff at the idea. Say 'I saw a UFO' and people immediately think you are crazy. Say aliens may exist, and you are a kook. It's not the disbelief ....it is the total and utter derision, the almost spring-loaded need for people to mock the person saying that. Which is quite interesting ...and for the most part only for aliens (someone can come and say they saw a lake-monster in Lake Tele or at Loch Ness, or they saw any one of various abominable/yeti/sasquatch/wendigo etc hairy-man monsters ....and they will get a keen, though skeptical, audience. However, mention aliens, and you'll be luck not to get an insult before the sentence is concluded). Again, weird. Almost brainwashed.

Personally, I don't buy into that UFO mumbo-jumbo (I'd have to freaking see one, and then wait 10 years to see if the craft I saw will not appear in some flightJournal magazine as some secret military prototype super-jet) ....but I find no reason to mock people who do, and I also know that the universe is ONE --- BIG ----PLACE.

I must be tired ...so many spelling errors.

Thus;

that the exist = that they exist

you'll be luck not to = you'll be lucky not to

etc etc etc. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

I saw too many “lights in the sky” when I was stationed out west to say that there isn’t something going on. What it is, I couldn’t say, but there is something out there.

No, actually, it isn't.

The universe fits in this Dell laptop box, right here.

Well said, mate. ;-)

I can tell you what a lot of the Gulf Stream UFO sightings are. The University of Auburn has a tradition where some of the students get long plastic tubes (usually the same stuff the covers your clothes when they come back from the dry cleaners, but longer), seal off one end, attach a wooden frame with a can of sterno on the other end, and then send them up at night. When the weather conditions are just right, these makeshift hot-air balloons go aloft and float all over the area, resulting in dozens of UFO sightings.

Yep. Why would we be the only planet with life?

My only question is, why did Sean Penn have to be living at the same time on mine?

I did see something strange one night. I was looking up and I saw a perfect triangle in the sky. There was no blinking lights. Then the top went down. I don’t know what it was...
