Wow, all the tinfoil hats on this site and nobody's talked about this bombshell?

Navy pilot recalls encounter with UFO: 'I think it was not from this world'

Not some drunken redneck in a field in Arkansas talking about getting an anal probe, but an experienced Navy fighter pilot - with camera footage to back him up.

The resident alien guy is laying low right now.

I just read that. Sounds like he got heckled quite a bit by the crew on his ship

Possibly some kind of secret or experimental aircraft flying out of Groom Lake, NV?

Could be. After all, the whole UFO hysteria started in 1947 with the Roswell incident which turned out to be pretty much exactly that - a secret US government program.

It was called Project Mogul and the purpose was to try and detect airborne radiation that would have indicated a Soviet nuclear test - in the days before satellites ringed the planet that was the only way to know if someone had detonated an A-bomb.

One day we will all know for sure. Too many cameras out there and someone will get the proof.

That's what they want you to think!

Cue the "I'm not saying it was aliens" meme in 5, 4, 3, 2....

I think the idea of us being the only sentient race in the universe is infinitely more terrifying than the thought that there are other species out there.

I'm more afraid of multiple other worlds that are full of populations and masses as dumb as ours. The universe doesn't need that.

Why is that?
