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.

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.

You do realize that "unidentified flying objects" doesn't require it come from space. Take it literally (ye-gads!). It means just what it says.

By the way, I'm a big skeptic myself, especially of the "lone farmer in Wyoming" who sees something. But after studying this event, I was shaken.

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:

> How many of you really believe UFO stories? Strictly speaking? Yes, I do believe there are UFO stories out there. Whether I believe *in* them is another matter altogether. What I'm amazed by is how the majority of people immediately make an association between "Unidentified Flying Object" with extraterrestrials when clearly, there's nothing in the definition that infers any of that.

We obsess because they're unidentified. That bothers us on a fundamental and cultural level; we like to pretend that easily defined boxes are a bad thing, then freak out when things aren't in easily defined boxes.

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.
Yup. On the one hand, I think the chances of us being alone in the universe are vanishingly small. On the other, my intuition tells me that the chances of us being regularly "buzzed" and having no clear evidence of it from verifiable sources are also vanishingly small. Mind you until I had to deal with a poltergeist in the house I'd have been pretty "nah" about that sort of thing, too (long story, but suffice it to say that I've seen some weird s**t that didn't fit my worldview). I guess in time we'll see (or maybe we won't!).

Try Tarkovsky: Stalker (IMDb: Stalker) for a variant that is definitely unamerican in style. If you taste is primarily in American style movies, don't waste your time on this one. Others might enjoy it, though. It has a quite good reputation as an "art" movie.

I see Unidentified Flying Objects, UFOs, quite often. It can happen several times a day. Then I look a little closer, and almost always I manage to identify them, at least by type (airplane, helicopter, snowball, ...). Those objects tha go out of my view before I manage to identify them rarely have any importance to me. I do not have psychological need to put labels on every object around me, flying or not.

Yes, we do, and somehow they keep getting voted into Congress.

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.
To even admit the POSSIBILITY of UFO's is to deny the Size of the Universe or the Speed of Light limitation. You guys believe what you want, I'll stick with Einstein and the Astronomers.... Also I am a Science fiction fan since 1956. The 2 Best SF movies ever made were (in order) Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, and Repo Man...
They call it Science FICTION for a good reason!

Do I believe that some people genuinely believe they've seen alien spacecraft? Yes. Do I believe those people are credible witnesses? No. Extraordinary claims, extraordinary evidence and all of that. P.S. Nobody's coming down the chimney in a couple days either. Both of these tales, while nice to think about, have exactly the same amount of evidence.
