See, this picture demonstrate one of my (many many) problems with Unidentified Flying Objects being extraterrestrial craft. With our hundreds of satellites with optical capabilities, and the thousands of professional telescopes and observatories here on Earth we probably have every square inch of space for a thousand miles out under constant visual surveillance. Yet none of these folks with their high resolution cameras can ever seem to get an image of an alien craft as it approaches Earth's orbit. It's not like the flying saucers can sneak up on us from around a corner, we have a pretty wide open field of view.

The most obvious response is that the aliens have superior stealth technology that hides them from view. So why is it then that the stealth technology falls all to pieces when faced with some farmer's blurry Polaroid?

Re: your post #94. You are right, MM! BUT....

what if the govt knows a million times more than what they are admitting? And, what if the "spacecraft" are not extra-Terrestrial?

Duh....it's not like they show up on film. Any idiot know that UFO's and vampires do not show up on film. Seriously though, NORAD doesn't scramble jets for no reason. They do on occcasion scamble one or two when an Arab passenger gets out of his set to go to the bathroom, but other than that....

Remember, just several days ago, an asteroid came very close to earth, I believe it actually passed between the moon and the earth. And it wasn't even discovered or detected until it actually passed earth.
