UK schools doing UFO crash drills
By Lounge Daddy, 10 October, 2010, 43 Comments

There seems to be a growing trend among schools to stage a UFO crash, and then teach students how to react, as well as to “properly” investigate and report on the incident.

It sounds like a lot of fun, and a great way to fire up a student’s imagination as well as writing skills. Hell, I wish we would have done a staged UFO crash at my school.

The latest “UFO drill” took place Wed, Sept 29, at Sandford Primary School in the UK. The kids were treated to a full UFO crash scenario that included wreckage, police tape, and real police officers. (Perhaps it was only lacking men from the government telling the children not to talk about what was seen.)

Its basically what you say, believers want disclosure so they can feel vindicated.  They want to have that "I told you so" feeling, and that "see, Im not crazy" feeling.

Oh how amusing it is to see ones mentality projected onto his perceived enemy.

I know it's hard to believe but some of us have transcended the skeptic-believer dichotomy. For one, I could care less what others believe - I will have no interest rubbing anything in anyone's face. I'm more interested in the potential positives which may come with disclosure.
