    In aviation, "Unidentified Flying Object" is just that, something in the air they couldn't identify. It's not the same thing as Extraterrestrial Intelligent Life. Less than a year after moving to CO I saw three lights in the night sky that climbed and then faded out. My best guess is they were missiles of some sort, that headed east over the Sangre de Christos, maybe from the Pinyon Canyon maneuver site. What I think I saw was the initial exhaust plume and then a shot from behind as they moved out of visual range. Not unlike watching a shuttle launch.

    The book Probability 1 talks about the Drake equation,

    The Drake equation states that:
    where:

    N = the number of civilizations in our galaxy with which communication might be possible; and
    R* = the average rate of star formation per year in our galaxy
    f
    p = the fraction of those stars that have planets
    ne = the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets
    f
    ℓ = the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop life at some point
    fi = the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop intelligent life
    f
    c = the fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space
    L = the length of time such civilizations release detectable signals into space.[3]

    But as someone else mentioned earlier, there's no point in worrying about it until there is some real proof.

    I've for sure seen some flying object that did weird things, but I wouldn't say it was extraterrestrial. I never said that pilots saw aliens; just things that they've never encountered before and couldn't explain.

    PLease also not that you would have to know the exact moment when it was going to hit and where.


    I love the term UFO
    Unidentified flying Object

    somehow fear mongers and the governemnt,Oh How terribly redundant of me, Have convinced that UFO and Extraterrestrial aircraft are the same.

    I can just imagine the poor NCO having to explain to his superiors where the ICBM's nuclear warhead went.

    Superiors; What happened to the warhead?

    NCO; Aliens took it.

    Superiors; Okay, carry on.

    He wouldn't remember who took it cause they use mind erasing technology.

    yup.


    Personally I believe that when you're looking at a funny fast moving light in the sky you're seeing the USAF in action.

    A flying saucer was low on fuel


    A flying saucer was low on fuel, so it landed near a nuclear facility. On its side were the letters "UFO".
    The guard at the facility was stunned, but his curiosity got the best of him.
    "Does that stand for Unidentified Flying Object?" he asked.
    "No," one of the other-worldly travelers responds. "It stands for 'Unleaded Fuel Only'."
    Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

    We need a High Space Drifter, some guy that will keep the little #**#$ out of our solar system and at the same time bring some justice to our planet too. Gimme a spacecraft and a gun...I'll do it.

    I think we should build a wall around the planet.
