I doubt RP is referring to unidentified frisbees. Nice attempt at wit.

The vast majority of UFO sightings have perfectly rational explanations that don't involve extraterrestrial life.  As to the tiny percent of them that can't be easily explained, I remain agnostic until more compelling evidence is presented.

I would not say that the "tiny percent that cannot be easily explained"
is really tiny at all

well on a more serious note i still think UFO's are bullshit, if an alien race were to visit us it wouldn't be in a little tiny space ball, and when they came we would either know it for sure, or not know at all.  So overall, i think all the ufo hype is so the gov can use its magic for various reasons.  For example, whenever you hear of ufo's on tv, magically people stop investagating it and mostly forgotten in a week.  In this day in age, with the shitstorm of camera's, when a big green ball of light goes across the night sky and its caught on one camera, it should be pretty dam easy to track it if someone was so inclined.  The whole reason i even thought of this is because people did track it, from 2 or 3 spots in the same city but why stop at just 2 or 3 camera's, and why stop at just that city.

at anyrate, i do believe aliens are out there somewhere, but if they are here its either to study us or to kill us, either way its better off we never find out because if we do they will just press the red button

Such a small narrow little mind

We deduced that the earth was round before actually seeing it from a distance. Similarly, according to probabilities, it's more than "likely" that extraterrestrial intelligence exists. Whether they hover around in suspiciously lit aircraft or take an interest in our galaxy is debatable, but the chances of "aliens" seems pretty damn obvious.

I never denied the possibility of intelligent life existing elsewhere.  Based on the number of stars in the known universe, I'd be very surprised if there wasn't.  What I question is the idea that they've managed to cross light years to visit us on our little planet because we're oh so special that they must come here and have a peep, while also taking special precaution to evade our most advanced instruments.  I don't think it's impossible that they would do that, but I'd need to see stronger evidence before I could come to such a conclusion.
