I would give my right arm to see a UFO. I have spent a lot of time in the New Mexico deserts, camping, hiking, riding, but never seen one. I would even consider an Unidentified Walking Object as a thrill. |

My father has an old friend who is one of the world's foremost authorities on UFO's and things of that nature. The guy's name is Stanton Friedman, and he is regularly interviewed on television shows about Roswell, etc. He knows stuff that would absolutely blow your mind. In his books he has put copies of communications between officials within and between various countries discussing things involving extraterrestrials. He finds out about documents and requests them via the Freedom of Information Act, and if the request is filled at all, the documents are often more than half blacked out. Often, the requests are refused in the interest of national security. I've always found the subject fascinating, but eventually I realized that, even if ET's are here right now, watching us, whatever, they are obviously not real interested in affecting our lives in any overt ways. Also, I'm not sure that own species is mature enough to handle knowledge of a genuine alien presence well. Still, I would love for some kind of very public and indisputable (and harmless) display of alien intelligence to be made during my lifetime. |

People who walk around claiming to see UFO's are regarded as wackos. But since you asked, I have seen one. Here in NJ. I don't talk about it much because, well, people think you're a wacko. It's one of those things you don't believe in until you see it for yourself. |

Also, just because something is unidentified doesn't mean it's a spaceship. I've seen solo objects that look like shooting stars or satellites. They didn't burn out and they were moving very quickly for satellites. |

"they are obviously not real interested in affecting our lives in any overt ways." Note - maybe they are affecting our lives, and without them we would have totally destroyed ourselves by now! |

They're already here, and they're all named "Marklar" My friend Eric got an anal probe from one of them. If our government didn't stop them, they would have unleashed the ultimate weapon, a super absorbent towel that gets stoned all the time. |

Or they might hypnotize 58 million people into making a chimpanzee President and then re-electing him. |
