UFO's - Yes or No?

[The Curmudgeon]

As a British comedian once said about UFO's; "if aliens are supposed to be this highly evolved species - why do they keep crashing here?"

And whilst I don't believe every flashing light that can't be immediately explained is an Invader From Mars (anyone seen that film?) or that every cross-eyed simpleton who says they've been abducted is telling the truth.. you know what? I Want To Believe.

And part of me does. I mean, we're basically the size of a grape in the universe, so how arrogant is it to assume we're the only intelligent lifeforms out there? True, we may not actually have made any contact with any of them yet, but that doesn't mean there's nothing out there.

And a little part of me wants to believe in the whole Roswell thing too. It just seems.. TOO good not to be true. I'd certainly like to believe that the inhabitants of the craft weren't as boring and easily unlikeable as the characters from Roswell High (or whatever it ended up calling itself).

So I dunno - part of me thinks yes, maybe - while the other part instantly pours scorn and disbelief over any photos or stories I see. Especially when the fucking Sci-Fi channel can knock out amazing fakes like this just to advertise their site..



So the jury is out for The Curmudgeon. So what about you Dwellers? Who are the Mulders and who are the Scully's?

With so many reliable sightings out there it's fairly safe to say that SOMETHING is going on. Aliens? Maybe, maybe not. I'm open to the notion, but I wouldn't bother defending it. There is absolutely life out there somewhere, but life with technology that says "fuck you" to the laws of physics as we know them allowing them to travel through space and time to Earth? A little more far-fetched though not impossible.

The first question I ask when I see the "eye-witness" accounts on TV is "Was alcohol involved?" Many, many times I've watched a UFO show on TV only to laugh at the end when the narrator does the whole "oh yeah, and we should probably mention so-and-so was drunk the night he claims to have seen an alien..." thing.

I'm with both of you guys. Is there another form of life out there somewhere? Most likely. Has it come in contact with us Earthlings? Harder to answer.
