True, there may well be other life in the universe, would be a waste of space to quote others if there wasn't -though impossible unlikely it would resemble us I thinks, you know evolution and all that. I don't think you can put Seth Shostak and UFOs together in the same sentence, paragraph or book, that just doesn't work. Many years ago through the Australian skeptics (and I am not a member) I met Robert Schaeffer and I was totally engrossed by his incredibly thorough research - if you really want to read the facts that have been thoroughly researched on all the classic UFO cases then google him and have a read, this guy is amazing. I am sorry but I and a few others have been the cause of many UFO reports over Brisbane in the 80s and 90s - white helium ballons with zylume sticks inside, etc etc all reported on the radio as UFOs over Brisbane over those years. I was also at the Mt Barney astrocamp years ago where some 30 amateurs witnessed 4 bits of space debris that entered the Earth's atmosphere only to be reported as nothing less than UFO's, what else could they be? Myself and another amateur on hearing this drove to the nearest police station and reported the space debris on the radio and the next thing we read in the papers is that 40 amateur astronomers also saw the UFOs, to those who must believe you can never win. Again I say get those people involved in knowing the sky and they will soon realise what a load of codswhallop this is and maybe enjoy the sky for what it is. I have stacks more of supposed UFO's that were easily explained but bamboozled many or wrre just plain joshing, but I have bored you enough.
