It is tru that many UFO sightings are advanced US military craft. However, the existence of aliens and real UFOs is also true. In fact the design of th advanced craft are based on reverse engineering captured or observed alien craft. The US military intelligence community has spread a lot of disinformation about UFOs in order to hide the truth - that the occupants of the UFOs are a far advanced, friendly alien species. If the truth were known, it would threaten the US military, economic and political dominance of the world. See www.ufocoverup.org for more info.

that would make sense to me that 95 percent of the sightings can be explained but what of the other 5%? Our Galaxy is one of the youngest, not to mention our solar system is one of the youngest. Just today there was news release they had found a habitable planet 20 light years away. That's a short distance in the big scheme of things. Is it really that implausible that older civilizations are out there that are centuries ahead of us in technology? Realistically as a scientist I would say that its quite plausible that such a race of beings exists, if not many.
Next question that probably comes to your mind, why would they come visit here? well why not? do you not believe these potential beings have the same tendencies as any living creature. Pushing the limits and exploring further. Just something to think about.

You are right Mr.Brad,you can't believe what you can't see!Because you weren't born with that"Ability"to"See or sense"those"Paranormal Phenomena".It's a pitty that we the human been are like metal pieces that can or can't be atracted to any magnets because its body composition don't allow it.Some people like me has certain magnetism or properties called"SLI"and it is well known for some scientists that those kind of experiences don't have a plausible explanation yet,but it exist!And I know that most of the people react with negativism about those matters because they can't accept what they can't understand yet! We the human beings are still in the mutation process,we are still barbarians fighting for everything in this world,killing each others for survival or pleasure!How could the rest of those"regular beings"accept that UFO's are real"if they haven't seen them yet?Sorry,I don't know if it could be called"Lucky or cursed"but some of us had been having paranormal experiences long ago even since ancient times and it is written in the antique civilizations history books! But to understand that kind of information you have to have an open mind first!Second,you have to investigate and read history books!
I know that some people are fantasied about those UFO stories and there are a lot of other ones that have been writting and selling parafernalia because the money like a piggy bank.But what about the other ones like me that have been having stressfull experiences with the UFO matters with physical or psycological secuences? Do you think that I am going to believe that UFO's don't exist just because you say it? JA JA JA No,no,no Sir.They really exist and I'm sure because since I was a child, I have been a witness and a victim of them! If the earth governments don't want to accept it or publish about them,well I don't know!It may be for ignorance,fear of a pandemonia with the people,or for another strategy,but in resumition,they are real!But for some reasons,they don't want to establish an open contact with the rest of the population,because it may not be a priority for them!Remember in the antiquity the scientist believed and wrote that the earth was flat because they were ignorant of the real dimensions of the planet at that time,but now we know that they were wrong,right?Poor Copernic and Galileo,they were victims of the mayority of those ignorants!
For that reason,you can't denied what you haven't seen yet!!!

There is documented proof that ancient civilizations from thousands of years ago dipicted the idea of ufos in their writings as well as their artwork. It did not originated in the United States.

During project Blue Book, it was determined that at least 95% of the UFO sightings were able to be explained logically in one way or another. Similarly, Brad's account is an excellent example of one such case; but, the other 5% that were reported by project Blue Book were totally dismissed and ignored. This leads to the question: Why, in 1968-1969, did Edward U. Condon, not participate in the analysis nor read the final outcome of his report, (The Condon Report) but instead summarized the report with the statement,"Nothing has come from the study of UFOs in the past 20 years that has added to scientific knowledge.", when in fact, the 1000-page report actually mentioned the reality of some perplexing and still unsolved UFO phenomenon indicating they were of extraterrestial origin? It's the unexplained 5% that nobody in our government seems to care about that has most people upset. Where the standard form letter released by the U.S. Airforce states that UFO's are of no threat to national security, and then the reports about UFO's over nuclear missle sites, shutting down the missles start to surface. In fact there is a direct graphical corelation between UFO sightings and the above surface and below surface nuclear detonation tests performed world wide since the first test detonation to the last in 1999. Seems they are watching us closely for some reason. Most people want to know why. It certainly sounds like a concern to national security to me.

I HAVE FLOWN IN A UFO ! It's true. Back in the early 80's, a few years after the famous abduction story came out of Pascagoula, Mississippi I was flying in a Coast Guard helicopter as a Search & Rescue Aircrewman. We were on a training flight from Mobile, Alabama flying along the coast to our Air Station in New Orleans. While just a few miles offshore, around Pascagoula, and flying at several thousand feet, which is astronaut height for helicopter crews, we "fired up" our Night Sun. The Night Sun is a 3million candlepower searchlight we used during SAR missions at night. We exercised the light moving it up and down along its operational axis before securing it. The next day we learned there was a wave of UFO sightings with descriptions of the flying saucer hovering over the Gulf of Mexico before streaking off into the sky at phenomenal speeds. The Coast Guard released to the public that it wasn't a UFO that it was, in fact, a helicopter on a training mission. Well, the ardent UFO believers screamed cover-up and conspiracy and used, as evidence, how a helicopter can't possibly operate at the near celestial speeds witnesses observed. The lesson I took away from this is that witnesses will see what they want to see. Their version of events, which they wholeheartedly believe, was developed with little input from the eyes and will most often never be modified even after a presentation of the facts. They will continue to believe what they NEED to believe because to do otherwise would cause a collapse of the faith that holds them together. It is the same mechanism used to keep people in their religions. Some of the most bizarre and phenomenal stories are taught to us as children during our religious indoctrination and they are accepted and believed to be absolutely factual - regardless of how "fantastical" the story may be. We have been conditioned since birth to accept stories like UFO's as fact so it is not surprising at all how strong the denial is among the hardcore UFO community. This lesson served me well in my post military career as a Criminal Investigator. Eyewitness testimony was rarely used to determine what happened. I merely it used it as a compass to point me in the direction of where the facts could be found. It never failed me !

I think while it is likely some UFO incidents are cover for government activity, this does not explain the well documented sightings in the early 1900's and late 1800's.

UFO's are Unidentified flying Objects.They exist and have been seen but not identified.Whether they are human made or from other worlds is debatable.
Religion is based on superstition with no proof.
Wacko's are people who blindly believe through faith without credible evidence! Be it Aliens or Gods!
