I’m sorry but there is no real proof these things actually exist. Unidentified flying objects are just that, unidentified. I know all about Roswell. In 1981 I bought a book called “The Roswell Incident’’. I believed in the things until I developed an interest in astronomy. I’m sorry, but until one lands on The White House lawn I don’t believe in them anymore.
Some years ago, a friend of mine who was a retired intelligence operator with a high-level security clearance was on a private business trip to meet scientists and program managers at the Sandia National Labs in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His visit was complicated by the UFO flap that became known as the Phoenix Lights.
When my friend arrived, the scientists whom he was to meet with were busy analyzing numerous videos and photos of the episode. Since my friend had a wife who was a believer, he became a willing audience for their analysis and theories that showed the UFO and tracked its movement. When he got home, he called me and said that USA Today would soon do an article on it.
And that is what happened, with the Air Force later peddling the absurd claim that flares from a National Guard exercise explained the supposed UFO sighting -- even though it included a black triangle shape obscuring stars as it slowly transited over half the state and then Phoenix.
As my friend explained, that visit to Sandia made him a UFO believer. He saw nothing directly of the incident, but the photographs and video he saw and their analysis by some of the best scientists and technicians in the world convinced him.
As for me, I have never seen a UFO and do not profess to know precisely what they are. Decades of government playing keep-away with the data though have convinced me that UFOs are real in some sense. After all, except to entertain little children, no one plays keep-away unless they have something to hide.
