How many of you really believe UFO stories?

Who knows how far we can push back the boundaries of physics?
Not that far....

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.

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!).

Ditto. I have experienced a few things for which I do not have a rational explanation. This resulted in me being open minded about things ... but I consider the source of the stories I read, and most are not credible.

That's pretty much my position.

It isn't hard to believe in UFOs if you don't confuse the term with "extraterrestrial" like most yahoos seem to want to do. Every experimental aircraft that goes up and is seen by someone is technically a UFO as it has not yet been classified. Why do you think it happens so often near air bases? Do I think extraterrestrials have visited this planet? I sure hope not. I mean, the way we treat our elderly, our soldiers, folks with different skin tones? Look at our own (US) government, the rich minority screwing the vast majority for more of what they already have in abundance. Nation states making war with other nations states over what - lines on a map, words in a book. I sure hope not. Ignorance rules over Sol 3 and it's embarrassing.

UFO: Unidentified Flying Object. Yes, they are real. There are hundreds of them every day where you might see something in the air that you cannot identify. Maybe it's a plane, maybe a balloon or God knows what. If you talk about extraterrestrial stuff then I must disappoint you but you clearly must be from the US. What is wrong with you guys in the US? Nothing better to do or dream off? The obsession with this BS is just revolting! X|

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:

Aliens as saviors of the earth have replaced religious saviors, too.

As are the odds they can overcome the vast distances to get here, or even to find us out of all the possible locations.

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

I rather believe that in the vast universe there aught to be ET out there than believing some deity created the entire universe just for human. Small mind think small.
Even the Bible contains what some maintain was a UFO sighting. Full disclosure: I regard the Bible as a mostly well-meaning fiction. But the story of Ezekiel's Wheel[^] is rather interesting, as are some of the (ahem) "theories" that have popped up over the years.

Of course. Even if you invoke a hyperdrive type-mcguffin the second is still a huge problem.

I thought that video was a joke, only in that it was such a mundane sighting. I've seen better with my own eyes with my father who worked for the DIA who were in charge of investigating and deliberately debunking reports even when they knew they were legitimate. Now, with your questioning it, I realize that Disclosure really is necessary. The whole thing goes a whole lot deeper than this. One of my former workmates said that a soldier in the Pentagon told him that he once saw a saucer in a hanger. I would suggest you do a little reading and open your eyes a bit.

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.
1. True. 2. True. 3. Primarily because this is a water planet and secondarily we are an experiment in free will and genetic engineering. 4. They have already made a widely reported spectacle above the White House lawn in the last century. They may soon land on the White House lawn when the White House is no longer so belligerent.

"Extraordinary claim requires extraordinary evidence" is an unintelligent expression invented by a skeptic who was covering up the fact that he had already accepted the evidence.

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.

Err...no. Just one that I have seen...and a good one at that... Attack the Block (2011) - IMDb[^] Of course many do come from the US just as many bollywood movies are shot in India and many kpop movies come from Korea. However many types of movies originate from the US which are released worldwide because the US likes movies and money from movies.
