If you watched The Daily Show last night you would know that Peter Jennings Reporting: UFOs - Seeing is Believing will be on ABC at 8 PM Eastern/7 PM Central. It sounded interesting from the interview, I'll be watching it. Anyone else?

Hmm...too much TV tonight.

After watching the program here is a summary of what I think.

UFOs - Possible, however very unlikely, they are most likely government test aircrafts, weather phenomenon, stars and planets or simply hoaxes.

Extraterrestrials - Very likely that some type of intelligent life form exists somewhere. The universe is just too big for us to be alone.

Alien Abductions - They are all fake and are a result of sleep paralysis, hoaxes or other brain related problems.

It was okay, one thing I didn't know is that roswell was revealed to be a military type of balloon craft that detected atomic blasts.

The best crackpot theory i heard about aliens is that they're not actually aliens but timetravellers :icon20:

Which i found a funny way of explaining why most of the 'eye witnessreports' say they look like humans only rather different.

Anyway, i don't believe any of it of course. The most likely alien is a microscopic organism of some sort.

I don't believe that for a minute.

"Records were located and thoroughly explored concerning a then-TOP SECRET balloon project, designed to attempt to monitor Soviet nuclear tests, known as Project Mogul. Additionally, several surviving project personnel were located and interviewed, as was the only surviving person who recovered debris from the original Roswell site in 1947, and the former officer who initially identified the wreckage as a balloon. Comparison of all information developed or obtained indicated that the material recovered near Roswell was consistent with a balloon device and most likely from one of the Mogul balloons that had not been previously recovered. "

It was during the 80s that people made it a myth.

Search for "Project Mogul" if you want more info, it was top secret back then that's why it was covered up.
