I am heading down the observatory now because whoever he was he has also made the clouds disappear.

Haha sorry guys it was me - I was just saying that there is a big jump between UFOs and aliens - people sometimes jump to strange conclusions when something unexplained happens (dead people when household objects move, little green men when UFOs appear) and that just because we don't all agree on the source of the unidentified object (ie a UFO) it doesn't give us licence to deny evidence without investigation.
A scientist who believes (or is certian!) that aliens don't exist and therefore claims that UFOs don't exist (ie all UFOs can be explained as being objects/devices that we ALREADY know about) is like a christian claiming that because he doesn't believe in the Koran that Mecca doesn't exist.
We can't afford to let our worldview blind us from analysing evidence, when it's sufficient, rationally.
What are the objects appearing on radar?
What are pilots seeing?
Just because we know what its
not, doesn't mean we know what it
is. Ignorace is agony.
Do I beleive in ghosts? no. Do I believe aliens are visiting us? Not likely. I belive in research and analysis and am dismayed when verbal or physical evidence is corrupted by shame.
Post was deleted by me (before I saw your reply) because it was my opinions only and didn't really contribute to the community (ie furthering someone's knowledge on the subject). But for sake of clarity, there it is.
Sorry for the confusion.
