On the one hand, it seems to me that some of us want to see a UFO, and so any object in the sky that we can't explain becomes labelled as "UFO".
OTOH, the fact that the government addresses this topic intrigues me to no end...

Does UFO not stand for unidefied flying object?
If there's something in the sky that no one can identify then that's exactly what it is...
A UFO.
I realize that people are going to believe what they want.
I used be a person that thought we humans are the end all be all, the only intelligence in the universe and our scientists and their theories are the alpha and omega of knowledge and truth in the universe.
But after a few experienecs that fly in the face of that belief system I reconsidered.
I'm not saying I've seen UFOs but I have had spiritual experiences that I know can't be fully conveyed through written(Actually typed) words on a forum.
So I will say I don't know what they are for certain...
My opinion is there's a strong possibility they are intelligently controlled.
And it's just a opinion, that in the big picture probably has no importance other than value of this conversation and will have no impact on anything.
As will 99.9% as the opinions here...
Except maybe Sal's...
His opinions can have a huge impact on the knife world.

As certain as we all are about just where exactly man stands in the universe (lol); for throughtout the entire known history of mankind, nobody has ever come up with a single universally accepted and conclusive reason as to why we were put here in the first place (religion aside).
I sincerely believe that science is full of theories thought of by man (which time can easily disprove).
And that's the core of the problem, man couldn't have possibly created the universe and the life that populates it.
And therefore, man can never hope to explain in entirety the mysteries of what he has had no hand in.
Questions like alien lifeforms, parallel universe and even life after death are all related to man's own sense of physical frailty.
There's really no need to look so far ahead, when the biggest question confronting man is still staring us plainly stright in the face... is there life after death?
I suppose in the end we'll all soon know the truth about life after death more than the quest about hypothetical intergalactic travel...
ETs are like bogeymen, that for something we can't explain would likely pose more questions than probable answers.

When I logged onto spyderco forums tonight...
I never expected to hear something as wise and profound as that.
Thank you for that.

I've seen quite a handful of UFO documentaries,
one of the worst (as in dishonest) that I've ever seen was the Mexico one, and the best one I've seen was about this journalist that wanted to just reach a conclusion for himself. He did research from WWII and talked about how the scientists in Germany were transferred to Nevada and continued their research. Then he met up with a CIA agent who said that it was propaganda, basically like mind manipulation of the general public (and judging from all the eye witness accounts seems to have worked very well imo)
So bottom line, who knows what the gov/military has as far as new technology, and that is perhaps what people are seeing combined with propaganda. It was also interesting how the Russians back in the Cold War days according to this guy's research/report, said that they conducted possibly the largest UFO observation in history and concluded that UFO as in Alien driven spacecraft do not exist.

[QUOTE=The Deacon;446952]Is there life on other planets - certainly yes - probablitly 99.999%.
Is there life as intelligent or more intelligent than "us" - quite possibly - probabliity 70%.
Has any of that intelligent life found the means to travel far enough, fast enough to make a visit by them to our planet feasible - possible but unlikely - probability 5%.
Given the vastness of the cosmos, has any of that intellingent life with the means to do so actually chosen this particular speck of dust to visit - possible, but extremely unlikely - probability .005%.
