You personally cannot explain them, therefore they must be aliens?

What with all the recorded sightings of UFO's across
the US, is it feasible that Steve Fossett has become the victim of an
abduction??


If other people cannot explain what they saw, therefore it must have
been aliens? Good heavens, whatever happened to people's imagination?

I've seen the film 'Fire in the Sky', which apparently is based on a
true story? If Mr. Fossett turns up safe and well with no recollection
of his unexplained whereabouts, then maybe this could be worthy of
consideration and I personally remain open-minded about such
possibilities.


Open-minded does not mean what you think it means, apparently.

"Based on a true story" in Hollywood means just that: there may be one
character with the same name as an historical character and it will be
"based on a true story." All the events and people that the character
encounters will be pure fiction. You will note that at the end of the
movie credits is a disclaimer saying the account is fictional.

I am disturbed by the cavalier attitude many people are taking toward
the disappearance of Steve Fosset.

Look, the area of Nevada that they are searching is more than 1700
square miles of mountainous terrain. Do you have any concept of how
big that is? That is 4,403 square kilometers. That is nearly twice the
size of the country of Luxembourg. The whole area is a howling desert,
almost totally uninhabited except by cattle and the occasional cowboy.

Fossett is in serious trouble. He is a good and great man. Nothing is
being spared to find him. Looking for him is in itself a tough,
dangerous job. The last thing we need are the crackpots with theories
of aliens, as if he had mysteriously disappeared from his own
backyard.
