"Burns claimed..."

"Burns said..."

"...used a Geiger counter to claim he found heavy radioactivity."

"The sighting sparked a panic in the area, with more people reporting strange sightings in the sky. A preacher in Augusta County said the sightings were a sign of the apocalypse."

There is nothing of substance in any of that. Unsubstantiated claims, mass hysteria, and a preacher connecting these claims to his religious beliefs, and getting it wrong.

There is simply nothing there. Burn marks can be made by Earthlings, too.

I would say I'm waiting for someone to produce actual evidence, but that would be incorrect. I'm not waiting for things I know are not going to happen. There is no evidence to produce. There are no space aliens. We are, for all practical purposes, alone on this pale blue dot.

To be sure, life exists all across the universe. The mathematical probabilities speak to this, but no one is visiting us. No one ever has, and no one ever will.

It's important to try to grasp the vast distances involved in the universe, and to try to understand the time scale.

I know what you mean. I worked with a person and his name was Cliff by the way.

His thoughts were a lot of people panic and were seeing things that didn't exist or were something else.

The newspapers can add drama and now parents are afraid their child will be kidnapped.

Did you ever report any stories on UFO's?

Yes, when I was an adolescent caught up in the late 1960s / early 1970s hysteria that the United States was going though, and not one damn bit of it was true in any way.

And then, I grew up.

If they drive a half-a-million lightyears to get here and then crash on arrival, we don't need them. We're full up with our own idiot drivers.

The drones are looking for Sarah Connor ...

I don't know about extra terrestrials, however around 25+ years ago, my wife and observed (close up) an Air Force stealth jet perform the impossible. I wish I had had a camera phone.

Nah. They’re looking for Hoffa

He dayud.

Windy today in NJ. Too windy for any alien drones to operate.

And just like that, they have "dropped" out of the news cycle.

I'm wondering if the ban will drastically cut down on sightings. Do extraterrestrials have immunity, I wonder?

The cold and snow will keep people inside and thus cut down on sightings of everything.

I believe emissaries do have immunity.

I just don't know weather UFOs exist. But the reason I can't rule out the possibility is that they could have technology that is beyond our grasp to comprehend.

For example, imagine this: In 1850 if you collected together a group of brilliant scientists, and told them you were going to present a demonstration of future technology. And someone came out, holding a small glassy object about the size of a pocket mirror. It's not connected to anything at all. There are no wires. But the demonstrator talks into this object and his words are heard by someone in China who talks back to him.

It is impossible! Absolutely can't be!

And then you brought out a microwave oven. You put something cold into it, and when you brought it out, it was hot. But the inside of the oven remained room temperature!

We could multiply many such examples where the technology accomplishes the impossible. And is utterly impossible to wrap one's brain around by everything known in science.

What I have said obviously is in no way proof of UFOs. I think it might, however, call into question one of the main arguments against the possibility of UFOs.

If they do exist, they might have ways to traverse mind-boggling distances in a short amount of time. As impossible for us to comprehend, or imagine, as a cell phone in 1850.
