According to the book, “The UFO Controversy in America” the first real good flap of UFOs was in the 1890s.
Secret projects in aeronautics have been part of our history from the beginning. That is, unless you’re going to suggest that flying at 140 miles per hour is evidence that we were being visited by aliens at that time.
Ya know Kev, maybe the authors UFO controversy started in the 1890s, or your perceived "real good UFO flap" occurred when you read his book.
However...Stuff like this dates back a bit longer than that. People used to paint and carve out weird things on their cave walls. I'd bet they thought their flap was bigger n' yours.
They'd probably laugh at your big flap.
Interesting stuff though eh?
Me? I think life exists elsewhere, on other rocks orbiting other star systems. I could be wrong. But I'd bet a cup of coffee I'm not.
And ya know what, I respect your opinion.
