Well the first mistake you made was assuming there was a simple answer, there isn;t, so get used to it or just quit. Sorry to sound harsh however UFOs will not fit into some neatly labelled box as so many control freak sceptics would love it to do.You assume that, simply because you are interested that whoever is responsible for the phenomenon should front up and tell us all, again typical of so many sceptics attitude, that is. "If it didn't happen to me and I didn't see it, it didn't happen at all".Over the last 60 years umpteen people have thought they had that, piece of evidence that clinched it, that photo that couldn't be denied, that story that could be corroborated, only to find. On the eve of going public the whole thing evapourated like a summer morning mist.The cult of personality just so happens to be the zeitgeist of our current social nature. It's always been there under the surface however, the media has constantly promoted it to the extent it has infiltrated every last corner of life, from science to building chuffin' computers. Jobs is just as much a "cult of personality" as Rasputin was, that's just the way of the current world.In my many years in the subject the one truth i have found is this. If you remain open minded and listen to people, rather than constantly tell them what they actually saw, even though you weren't there, you will find they are willing to offer you tales that will keep you topped up on the suspicion that, summat damnably weird is going on and the agenda is still, as yet, completely unknown.The likes of Randi, Klass, Ridpath are, or were, just as big a billy bsers as many of the loony wing of the believers.The truth is, we don't know and therein lies the biggest problem. Politicians and the military have to now or they get all upset and then have to resort to denial cos they can;t possibly be seen to be left their collective arses waving in the breeze pants down waiting for a good spanking at the whim of some other intelligence. So, they lie, cos it's their nature to do so in these sort of circumstances and they back and slip snippets of disinformation to the loud mouthed sceptics, who in the end,have only one real interest, the sound of their own voices.Meanwhile as I am typing this, somewhere in this world someone is having their very core beliefs about our world being challenged by something they are witnessing for themselves. The vast majority of these incidents go unreported, as most would rather not be thought of "mad" and that's perfectly understandable.Some will see their experience as quasi religious, read up on the Fatima incident and on how, many of those not predisposed to religious belief saw a silver disc not the virgin Mary and some of the veil begins to fall away. The ask yourself this question...."if this intelligence has used obfuscation since ancient times, to hide its' true nature, what is so different now about us as humans that would see them change that tactic? Have we say, stopped killing people en masse? ...err no.... Have we, as humans learned to live in harmony with the land and not act like some virus rapaciously eating its' way through the worlds resources with no thought for the future? err no...The ask yourself a simple question... Why is that those civilisations that do seem to be more *in tune* with the world we live in and share, also seem to have greater understanding and contact with this intelligence.Does it ever strike you that, to them, whoever and whatever they might be, there isn't an iota of difference between Einstein and Billy Jo the pig farmer from Fern Creek? In cosmic, terms we might well be viewed, as a race, as nothing more than amusing hicks which brings us back to. The people who run this world, be it politically, socially, or scientifically, in general, simply can't handle even contemplating that thought, so it's buried.Technology merely marks us out as driven and curious, It doesn't actually guarantee we are smart in the general sense of the word. Some of the most inept people in this world, in terms of social interaction, are leading lights in the world of science and the military. Just maybe they enjoy letting the "little people" see the tech they have, in order to deliberately cheese off those who feel they have a right know such things.?Your belief or non belief won't make an 'appeth of difference, the weird # will carry on happening whether you or I, for that matter, choose to ignore it.
