So here is aquick test. Innocently ask anyone you know (or don't know) from a 10 year old to grandad to work colleagues (without any egging on) what they think a UFO is (I have done this many times) if Flying Saucer/Spaceship and Alien are not the most common and almost always the answers then I will be more than surprised. And if the answer is "oh it's atmosheric phenomena that we can't explain" then I will fall off my chair. UFO is a leading "word" it conjures up exactly as I have said. If we could replace it with "have you ever seen something you couldn't explain while looking at the sky" I would accept that (the must believers simply won't let this happen -it is also a money making industry) You see mostly the must believers are not interested in an explanation and when one is given they quickly look for the next sighting. I am off to photograph the fairies that live at the bottom of my garden, I know they are there somewhere, there's proof of them, I saw a pic of them on the internet, and don't try convince me otherwise. Might even leave my shoes out tonight for the elves, and set a trap for Santa Clause while I am at it.
