You don't think it could be a hoax to get tourism brewing again do you?

How come they are always spotted in places like NM and AZ but hardly in the Bay Area of CA? I'm getting offended here.

Californians are too busy looking in the mirror and thinking how cool they are because they live in California to actually look up and see them. :p

Xenomorphs fear Rice a Roni. They only eat milagrosa grown in Thailand.

I've seen UFO's every time I camp in really rural parts of AZ. Especially when it's so hot that only a few crazy people are out. Plus I've seen one in Michigan, in a city, during the day. All but one of these sightings were co witnessed.

Based on the fact that they tend not to make noise, and therefor probably use electro magnetism to propel themselves off the ground, just like the old guys who built them in the 60's talked about on the PBS UFO special, I firmly believe that most, if not all of the UFO's that get seen are made by governmental secret projects. ET's would not travel huge distances, leaving behind their families and such just to come here to put on a show. Plus, the electro magnetic system would be absolutely worthless in space.

Whoever makes and uses these damn things cannot be up to any good.

Plus I've seen one in Michigan, in a city, during the day. All but one of these sightings were co witnessed. And you guys called the newspaper, right?

Based on the fact that they tend not to make noise, and therefor probably use electro magnetism to propel themselves off the ground, just like the old guys who built them in the 60's talked about on the PBS UFO special,And you know they ALWAYS are truthful... I firmly believe that most, if not all of the UFO's that get seen are made by governmental secret projects. No wonder we have potholes. Our money is being wasted!! ET's would not travel huge distances, leaving behind their families They have emotion? and such just to come here to put on a show. Plus, the electro magnetic system would be absolutely worthless in space. Are you sure?

The "seeing them" has nothing to do with why I said that. I don't doubt you've seen them in the least.


Assuming electro-magnetic propulsion and that they are from government.....that's a BIG assumption.

Michigander

How else would they lift off the ground without making noise or a smell? And how could they travel so fast, still without noise, smell, or a visible emission of exhaust?

It's the only explanation I have ever seen. It makes a lot of sense.

And Siu, why would we call the news paper without pics? A couple of teens who claim to see a UFO who have no evidence, not much of a story.

Entire TV networks make millions off of people who believe what they are told about UFOs, ghosts and the like.

PBS doesn't. Besides, I've researched the issue a lot, and it's the only explanation I've seen that makes sense. There is a LOT of hog **** out there, but the electro magnetism thing makes sense.

C'mon y'all, odds dictate that we're not alone. No one may have the capacity to travel to hang out with one another, but you know that Zaphod Beeblebrox is somewhere, out there (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfEdT0LCYug&feature=related).

I am a ballistics expert, and I threw out my TV. But that's beside the point.

You have presented no contradicting evidence. Was the IQ fairy less generous when you were a kid?
