Opinions on UFOs?

[bogie]

It's that time of year again... or maybe just because we are reaching the end of 2012 and the pending apocalypse. UFO sightings are popping up left and right. Stories are hitting the news in greater numbers. Just a few I've seen are listed below.

Cattle mutilations in Colorado (repost yeah yeah)...
UFO/Nibiru spotted in Antarctica...
Brittain visited by a UFO every month but MoD says they pose no threat...
Former CIA case officer admits evidence of Roswell...

What are your opinions on UFOs? Do you think they are extraterrestrial? or run by the US government? or maybe by some kind of shadow organization (e.g., X-Files Syndicate) controls them, to control us. Or do you think people just "see what they want to see".

Don't be afraid to put on your tinfoil for this thread guys. Everybody here is already certified by the current .gov as gun-nut crazies.

Thoughts?

Drakes Theorem states there should be at least 6,000 other civilizations in our galaxy. We should be building starships like we build trucks, but cutting through the bureauracy and secrecy is the hardest part. Even the president refuses to confirm or deny the existence of extraterrestial beings and their spacecraft.

Yeah not a tin foiler, but on the UFO thing something's gotta give. In the nearly infinite amount of space and star systems, there has to be some other life. Just saying.

Agreed. There is a good possibility that the president is an ET.

Hence the issues with the birth certificate.

They say space goes on forever, gotta be sumthing out there!

I don't buy a fundamental premise underlying your survey answers. Your answers based on the concept of extra-terrestrial Unidentified Flying Objects. There are other types of Unidentified Flying Objects.

There are Intelligent Origin UfOs such as at a shoot with reactive targets, 'Is that a a piece of the fender or a piece of the 25 lb gas bottle that was sitting on the Tannerite in that car?' Another example would be 'Is that a roof piece or fender flying through the air? as Jeremy Foley's car rolled down Pikes Peak. Then there is the classic flying saucer UFOs.

But there are also Natural Origin UFOs. Is that a newspaper or a 4x8 foot piece of plywood flying around that funnel cloud? Or how about climbing around some rocks at the sea shore. Was did that thing that flew through the air and landed on my back where I can't see it come from a passing seagull or did was it a splash from a wave hitting the rocks?

So yes I know there are UFOs. I have seen plenty of things, both of Intelligent Origin and Natural Origin that I are unidentifiable to me.

None of the answers cover all the UFOs I have seen.



Have A Nice Day.

This poll covers a serious topic but I used some sarcasm and pop culture references in my choices. I'm sorry you (and others) can't participate, or that you have elected not to because you fail to see the underlying reason behind each of the possible responses.

No, It's just swamp gas = UFOs are due to unexplained events that are due to nature such as atmospheric disturbances, wind carrying garbage, etc.

"I want to believe". = This category means that you believe in the possible existence of UFOs but have not seen concrete evidence. A reference to Fox Mulder in the X-Files, a character who believed in the possible existence of UFOs and continued in the pursuit of truth behind their existence.

Yes, UFOs are real but controlled by humans. = All of the sightings are a result of man made equipment, spy planes, weather balloons, rockets, satellites, radar targets, equipment meant to deceive people into thinking there are aliens visiting us, etc.

Yes, UFOs are real and controlled by aliens. = Do I need to spell this one out?

I've been abducted (and think I saw theGinsue on the craft). = A reference to another thread posted recently on cattle mutilations in Colorado.

Next time I decide to write up a poll, I'll be sure to contact you first.
