Flying saucers and strange beings who have visited Earth aren't the typical topics reported by Peter Jennings, anchor of ABC's "World News Tonight." Jennings, whose new two-hour special tackles the subject of UFOs, admits he and his production team began the project with doubts and a dose of curiosity.
"We have a lot of skeptics -- I am very skeptical -- but we seriously investigated something a lot of people are serious about," he said. "And when we come to the end, this is wonderfully interesting.
"More than 80 million Americans believe intelligent beings from somewhere else have come here," he said. "Forty million believe they have seen UFOs, so this is of deep interest to people."

All the pix I saw on mutilations looked exactly like any cow that had been laying dead for a few days. Most of the ranchers in that area do not check their cattle all that frequently, too much area to cover. Good luck.
Getting to the animal right away is critical for proper assessment in terms of the more unique aspects of an authentic mutilation--I forget if it's within the first 20 minutes or first hour after--is necessary for positive, certain proper assignment of the case to an 'other' sort of mutilation.
1) The laser scaple precision aspect as well as some other details need that quickness for some reason. I forget specifics.
2) Predators will NOT get near an authentic case. Usually for many months to a year or longer afterward. They will give it a wide berth even if it's in their normal path.
3) Vets are usually necessary to make some of the more professional detailed analyses of some of the strange aspects.
4) BTW, as in the rest of the UFO stuff--we have some well known, popular FREEPERS who have had authentic mutilations on their farms and ranches.
Actually, I suspect trailer park folks are under represented. There's a relatively high percentage of policemen, military folks and other such trained observers very well represented in those with significant UFO experiences/observations.
Supposedly, Jews and Roman Catholics are also underrepresented in abduction cases.
HMMMMMM NO ONE HERE YET?
Tonights the night! Break out the tinfoil!!
Bats in the belfry and all that junk!
What the heck is a "belfry"?
PLEASE JOIN US ON THIS THREAD FOR a "LIVE THREAD" running commentary as the show begins here in the Mountain States at 1900.
Thx,
My error. Someone else has started the LIVE thread here:

Will join them there shortly.
Blessings,
I think the Grays did this (or maybe the Government) so I can't watch. Maybe I know too much.
I have never quite determined why peoiple insist on saying something does not exist.
I have noticed that closed minds are very popular on FR and common in political parties.
I watched the show Quix, but it didn't do the UFO stories justice. They found some 'foil' all over the ground in Rosewell - and that was it!!
Nothing very profound, alright. I liked Hyneck's interview with Marcell but wish they'd had all of it.
The other thread has a lot of commentary--600+ posts.
Thanks.
Could be.
From which planet did Sam Donaldson get his toupee? Is it made from Klingons?
Two hours of Jennings and no more light is shed on the subject that before he started talking. Who said the MSM were turning into tabloids?
Thanks for the info Quix. At least we didn't have to put up with Peter Jennings own views on everything, LOL.
True!night5 night.
Over 750 of the sightings investigated by Project Blue Book were never identified and remain a mystery to this day.
Something is happening, but the question is what.
People like to poo poo these ideas, but let me remind you that they did the same thing to people that said the earth was round.
There's one question that I have concerning one of the more famous UFO incidents and that is Roswell.
In this case, an Army Air Corps Intelligence officer, Major Jesse Marcell, identified material he had collected from a nearby ranch as part of a UFO that had crashed.
Major Marcell was an Intel Officer. It was his JOB to know what flew in the skies. But he not only couldn't identify what he had, his analysis of the material led the Roswell Army Air Field to issue a press release that they had in their hands a UFO.
3 days later, General Ramey makes the claim that Major Marcell had been "confused" by elements of a weather balloon target. An item that went up from the Roswell Army Air field on a daily basis.
One of 2 possibilities exist here.
1. Major Marcell DID have in his possession, material he could not identify (as he claimed and continued to claim in later years).
Or
2. Major Marcell did not have anything more than parts of a radar target that was attached to a weather balloon.
My question is this.
If he did in fact have a radar target. Why in the name of all that is Holy was he not IMMEDIATELY relieved of Duty and drummed out of the Air Force for gross incompetance?
Here was a man who was the Intel Officer for the ONLY Nuclear armed bomber force in the world at the time.
and he makes THIS kind of mistake and then allows it to be released to the press???
I know the Air Force of the early 60's and 70's. My father retired from it in 1972.
There is no way in hell that he would have remained with the 509th bomb group, OR been allowed to continue in his job as an Intel officer if he had in fact made that kind of error.
The Army Air Corps had just come out of a world war (1947) and there were still threats in the world that we as a country were very concerned about.
There's no way in hell he would have been allowed to continue in that position had he made this kind of grossly incompetant identification.
But he was allowed, and he did continue and he went on to retire honorably.
I don't care what people say or what people think. To me there is something that we cannot fathom that is flying in our skies and there needs to be a thorough OPEN investigation into it to either debunk it entirely or find out what it is.
