What makes the UFO thing unbelievable for those of us who actually
enjoy deductive reasoning that is :-) is simply the aspect of the
issue that postulates the theory that if there is indeed alien life
out there and it has the brain power to reach earth with these super
duper ultra hyperduper ships of theirs, one at least has to consider
why these alien superfolk always manage, with the cream of the earth's
scientific minds to choose from, to scoop up Homer and Jethro while
they are walking on a back country road at 4 in the morning so they
can relate their "experiences" on the all night AM radio show :-))



True.


Even worse if they picked up Anthony.


The thing tha pretty much proves it for me is I remember reading years ago
an explanation of why, if there were so many sightings, there weren't more
photos of UFOs. The argument was "there are lots of airplane accidents, and
you don't see many pictures of those, yet we know thye happen" Well, with
the explosion in digital cameras and what not there are, in fact, lots and
lots of pics of airplane accidents, yet no credible pics of UFOs.


Was just watching something about them this morning in fact, and the dufus
witness accounts would put anyone off as well.

One thing's for sure, if they DID manage to snap him up by accident,
they might not understand being told all day long that what they were
doing was impossible in an actual saucer but if they gave him a few
minutes he could make it work with a simulator :-)

I saw some photos once. I think they were kitchen plates....no...wait a
second....now that I recall....I think they were garbage can lids.

Have you ever driven through Roswell NM? You wouldn't believe that
place! It's an alien trinket museum on a bun. The local Dairy Queen even
has a soft ice cream sundae served on a "saucer". I mean it's a NUT
HOUSE out there :-))

He heh.
Make a great movie, that would. I imagine they'd send him back quick
enough.

There is supposed to be a theme park going up there in the near future...

I've seen UFO's, they were flying and I wasn't sure what kind of

Hollywood in the mid-40's started making horror movies involving
aliens, there was no reports of UFO's, abductions etc. There were
reports of witches and ghosts etc. This is just another rebirth of
old human fears and fallibility's with ET in place of the
supernatural. If more people would believe in science instead of the
tooth fairy we would have a lot less stupid people on Earth.



Hollywood just jumped on the bandwagon. The UFO sightings started about the
same time we started testing advanced aircraft. The USAF and the CIA were
more than happy to use UFOs as a cover for the testing.

Not to mention the media in general. Like global warming, it sells
newspapers and advertising time on TV.

for the testing.


Yes, but I suspect that such testing was only a token part of the UFO
delusions.

No doubt, but it made for a great cover.

Kinda like an early predecessor and an Air Force version of "Top Gun", (join
the Air Force and shoot down space invaders).
