I've seen UFO's, they were flying and I wasn't sure what kind of
aircraft they were. Hardly makes them extraterrestrial. Before
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.

aircraft. The USAF and the CIA were more than happy to use UFOs as a cover
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).
