UFO's

I never intended for my first blog to be on UFO's, but after reading this article I had to speak my mind. Most people when they think, if they think about it at all, about UFO sightings they think it is something that happens only to weirdos and crackpots. But more and more we are hearing from 'everyday people' about their experiences with strange lights and strange aircraft in their area. I, myself, have seen what I believe to be UFO's on 2 separate occasions in my life.

My biggest gripe is the 'pooh pooh' response the government has shown the public and people who have experienced this phenomena. It is the feeling that the government can't trust the American people with the truth. The initial stories from the 1947 Roswell crash stated that it was a UFO that crashed in New Mexico. Once the government came in, it changed to a weather balloon. Pilots report that filing a report about UFO encounters to authorities ruins careers and tarnishes their reputations. Even public safety officials have been 'punished' for reporting encounters with UFO's. Now they want to give us another excuse about 'lightening fairies' or some such nonsense so there is one more excuse to use to exploain away any reports of strange lights in the sky, If there really is nothing out there visiting us, why are these people paying a price for reporting it and why do they keep coming up with excuses to explain it away?

I think it is a great disservice to the American public to lie to us and 'protect' us from the truth. When are they going to stop censoring the information disseminated to the public? When a UFO lands on the White House lawn? Do they think we are so self involved with our own self importance that we would believe that we are all alone in the universe? To quote Eleanor Arrowway, "it would be an awful waste of space."

I think as a people we are smart enough and rational enough to accept the truth whatever it is and move on with our lives. So I say, "let me have it!"
