How many of you really believe UFO stories?

Every freaking UFO / Alien attack (In Movies) takes place in the US, i guess they would love to die while fighting Aliens or they just want to show off anything. Nod idea but yeah i guess it's a US thing.

UFO's and alien abductions are a modern thing; the pre-1950's equivalent was witches or fairies, the devil or succubi. Before UFOs, witches were seen flying across the sky on brooms - now presumably they have all been shot down by the UFOs and take a taxi ... DO I believe them? No chance. Just look at the people who report the sightings - would they be a credible expert witness in a court trial? :laugh:

There are many credible accounts from pilots, backed up by radar tracking from the ground, of unknown objects travelling in odd ways; stopping, accelerating at ridiculous rates etc. AT the same time it is very likely there is life elsewhere in the universe. Given the ability of life to utilise extreme environments on earth (deep sea ocean vents, a heat and sulphur system, as opposed to the surface, which is a sunlight and carbon cycle system) we could well have life on Europa for example. Are these alien spacecraft? We just dont know. They could be, they could be some weird unknown natural effect, like ball lightening for example. It can do some very odd things.

In fairness, that's only true of American movies, so is understandable enough. Japanese cinema/anime has no shortage of aliens landing in or attacking Japan... and there's always The Arrival of Wang, a wonderful Italian interpretation of the genre, for those of you wanting something a bit different to get your teeth into.... ...but yeah, never miss an opportunity to laugh at the US - they do seem to have more than their fair share of loony toons... :laugh:

}Real life UFO sightings don't just occur in the US. They occur near air force bases all over the world.
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Yes. No. Maybe. UFO sightings are a worldwide phenomenon, they are not just restricted to the USA. Are they true? Who knows: 1: If there were alien craft and they didn't want to be seen, they wouldn't be seen. Maybe they don't care if we see them. 2: If there were aliens and they were belligerent, we'd already be dead. 3: Why would they come to this mudball planet out at the edge of an unremarkable galaxy? Why are we so interesting? 4: How come they always land in Asshole, Alabama and not on the White House lawn? Is there life out there, either in our solar system or on planets around other stars? Highly likely. As has been said, either we are alone or we are not. Either way the implications are staggering.

There was an interesting book called something like "blah blah blah Bichemeral mind" which discussed this and how over the centuries fairy and demon abductions have turned into UFO abductions.

...and there's my problem - for some reason pilots, policemen and soldiers are always completely in control of their perceptions and unable to be deceived by them. There is an element in pilot training called 'human factors' which very clearly show how easy it is for even pilots to be deceived by their senses. Although of course being able to back up these claims with radar does add something to their claims.

It is the radar back up that shows it isnt just pilot hallucination. There was a case over NZ, between north and south islands, backed up by radar, for example. Of course it could be some natural phenomenon. Ball lightening, as I mentioned does some strange things. ball lightning - Google Search[^] Ball lightning - Wikipedia[^] It can hover, enter a room, move about. Very strange stuff.

I am a bit skeptical of the UFO stories that are in abundance on the web. For starters, why do none of professional star gazers find them? Heck, what about wide majority of amateurs who too have decent equipment. Do I believe UFOs exist? Yes. If I find something flying which I have not seen earlier, by definition, is UFO for me. Do I believe there are flying objects from another civilization somewhere? May be. I don't know. It would not be smart to deny their existence. However, I wonder if they exist, do they just come here for a stroll? This is a vast topic IMHO and easily ventures into various fields of study that simply confuses me.

Are you not aware of the event in the 50's when UFO's buzzed Washington, were tracked on RADAR from Andrews Air Force Base, were intercepted by fighter jets and were witnessed by hundreds of eye witnesses included the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES himself? And the event happened again the next day. In broad daylight. If that's not credible enough then nothing is.

You clearly watch and parse rather selectively. Japan was a favorite UFO target just about forever. "The Mysterians" was one of my favorite movies when I was little. Damn - they even put a long pointy nose on a robot. If one goes by length as defining a movie, Dr Who's invasions were primarily of London (when on earth, at least). However - I'm willing to compromise on this. How about we call it fair and put out signals so the next main attack is Quebec? Who-TF would care? We can let the aliens win and call it the mother of all win-win situations.
