Seeing is believing?

Did anyone catch the UFO show on TV tonight, "Seeing is believing"?

What did you think about it...

I caught the last 3/4 of an hour of it. Not really impressed by what I saw. From what I saw the only purpose of the program was to riducule people who believe they have had encounters, either close or otherwise, and to put down any "evidence" that may or may not have been collected. In no way was what I saw objective.

Extremely poorly done.

Just the usual stuff with no further evidence either way, I have no doubt that we are not the only ones in the universe, but I sometimes wonder why any species would want to come and visit this primitive species. Mind you we might be considered as vermin.

Still I would like to see a UFO, never seen one.

As far as the program goes, definitely another let down.

After watching the program for half an hour, i said to the Mrs "you had enough of this yet" her reply was "i had enough 15 minutes ago".
Thought it would have been better.

I was in the Aviation industry for 30 yrs, and have spoken to pilots, who have had the scares of their lives with "unexplained airborne phenomena". A mate of mine who had 30,000 hrs commercial flying was formated by a disc shaped object from the Flinders Ranges to Port Augusta, it just kept pace with him and from what I recall it was flying just under one of his wings. When it finally disappeared in an instant, he was one relieved man. When he landed at Adelaide, he was a white as a ghost. Also had another one whilst talking to a BA Flight Sydney to Nadi, in early 70's where the Captain asked me for traffic in his vicinity, as I was only doing the communications for ATC, I conferred with them and was advised there was nothing within 100 miles. The captain advised me there was a large silver disc same level and heading and track about 1/5 mile in front of their aircraft (B747). I asked him if he wished to submit an incident report, and he replied in the negative. I also had numerous "incidents" whilst stationed in Darwin.

I thought it was okay...nothing new...but it did cove the high/low points depending on perspective...

Growing up in the US not that far from Wright Patterson Air Force base I used to hear lots about Project Blue Book and Dr. Hynek...

For a while there was a show on TV in the US by that name (Project Blue Book) which allegedly recreated some of the actual reports...most were clearly debunked on the show but occasionally they would arrive at an event that defied explanation
