It's damned funny isn't it? You'd think that hyper intelligent aliens who have the ability to traverse the universe would have the nous to check out one of our major cities. Instead they always front up in some Turkish/Mongolian/Arkansas backwater and proceed to rape cows.

I rate them .5/10.

Well you can't deny the fact that there is something else out there, look how big the universe is, of course we can't be the ONLY living things, just the chance of ever meeting up with each other is zilch, look at the distances between everything.

I don't see anywhere here that anybody is denying that, in fact the law of averages almost assures that there would be life somewhere else.

It's when we get claims of them stealing hicks in clapped out pick up trucks and molesting them or showing undue interest in invariably remote areas that I get sketchy.

Just covering my bases, though you do speak the truth.

Interesting observation that 'official' GovCo's are releasing UFO information with increased frequency, away from outright denial.

BBC News had a MOD (M of Defence) UFO chap discussing the recent release of its official UFO files from 1926 - 1992 the other month, I think YouTube has this.

I think it's that NASA one winged solar powered thing. High Altitude flier.

Something like this below. Or a NASA HELIOS version.

people will do anything so they can be 'right'
there's a lot of obsessive liars out there, who will cover up lies with bigger lies just so it seems like they know more than you and are right.

The vid in the OP is a fake, it doesn't even move!

Anyway I have found one that MUST be real!

http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=mkPh3I5o7Do

Goes to show how easy it is to fake a video these days.

True......city chicks are so much easier than cattle. When they discover this they will make the switch and leave our bovine friends alone. And what is it with all that probing?
