Of course, what else would you expect from a proud species such as homosapiens?
That brings up an interesting point - As a species we're very different from all the other creatures on this planet, and when I say that I'm referring to how we come up with ideas in our heads that other creatures here just don't do. Most animals think about very basic things and fight each other to hunt for food, defend themselves, or defend their offspring or their territory. By comparison, humans kill each other over politics and religion, just ideas in our brains, and even trivial concepts. I've seen in the news reports on how children murder their siblings over a video game, and how a neighbor murdered someone next door over ten dollars.
...And then we turn around and proudly, arrogantly consider ourselves superior as the "higher" form of life here. Reminds me of the old movie Star Trek IV - the one with the whales - where aliens get upset over a disruption with a longstanding relationship with whales and humans think transmissions and alien ships approaching Earth are meant for them.
Still, to head back towards the original topic, BTAxis had a point. (Regarding his first response. The example about Germany was cute, yes, it made me laugh, but I'm talking about the other one.)
On the other hand, I still just might fax something this weekend, if time permits...
What I mean by the post is that there is alot of data behind the UFO phenomena. It's not simply a long lived urban myth that someone made up a long time ago. There is substanse to it. Testimonies, witness reports, radar reports, government documents etc.
Yes, I agree with this. While much of it has been revealed as non-exciting things such as weather balloons, etc., I don't think all of it is mundane. If life can exist here, it can exist elsewhere among the staggeringly zillions of planets and star systems out there, and I still think it is quite likely aliens at least know about our planet already.
