I was recently linked by a forumer to these youtube videos in a msn convo:
While I haven't talked a lot about UFOs, I was called many things for my skepticism, especially when I identified the things in New York as a huge flock of migrating Canadian snow geese (video 1). I admit I don't know what some of that stuff is, but previous science experts have explained many of these types of things. I have an uncle who live in the desert that believes the earth is being visited by extraterrestrials from his own personal experience seeing one and filming it. However, I think it is highly unlikely it is an extraterrestrial species spying on us, and will need to see a whole lot more before I might change my mind. A really good, confirmed signal (not human made or belonging to a pulsar or similar known objects) at SETI would be more convincing than any video.
So, let's hit on a few things:
1. What is your opinion. Why?
2. Eye-witness/First-hand accounts. Do you trust them? Is there a difference if it comes from a rural rancher, weird hippy, or someone already famous (like Buzz Aldrin)?
3. Photographs. There's quite a lot of them. What do you think?
4. Videos. Supposedly enhanced and original.
5. Planetary signs. The face on Mars, etc.
6. Area 51 and the like.
While UFOs may be defined as any flying object that you cannot identify (is that an F-16 or an F-15 or some Russian MiG overhead? which Boeing model is that? Oh...it's not even made by Boeing?), they will be used here interchangeably with Flying Saucers frown by little green men.
Please consider psychology and the increasing reports of UFOs, compared with earlier times in the historical records around the globe, hoaxes, etc.
Keep it civil, and let's have fun!
