UFOs: An Unreasonable Argument
Monday December 4, 2006
Is there a difference between believing in the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence, and the belief in the existence of UFOs? Yes! and big time. Many of those who work in the field of science will tell you that they believe in the theory that man may not be alone in the universe, and that is why they subscribe to the idea of searching for an alien contact signal through SETI. But those same people will tell you that they vehemently do not believe that UFOs are real. All UFO sightings and claims of alien abduction are easily explainable by everyday means. What those means are, we are not told. When you consider this viewpoint, you have to understand that if their position is accurate, then every account of a UFO sighting is false, every photograph of a UFO is of an earthly made object, and all accounts of alien abduction are either falsified stories or made by those who are mentally impaired.
UFOs; An Unreasonable Argument is an in-depth look into the matter of who believes what and why about UFOs. Writer Daniel Brenton says that the subject of UFOs is an unreasonable one. And in that he is correct. The American and British mainstream media will hardly touch it. As I have stated before, when a UFO report is made on television is it normally a filler, and even at that, it is something for the announcers to snicker at. Can an intelligent person not believe in UFOs? Do you have to be a nut? Well...we all know better than that, and as Brenton so aptly puts it, the belief in UFOs is cool, and studying these strange, unearthly-looking vehicles is stimulating. Hey, I wholeheartedly agree. So, no matter what the high brows say, let's just keep on believing, and maybe some day...

Appreciate the comments. About.com is one of those places people come to start learning about things, and it’s flattering for my article to be included here as part of that.

The irony is that the very fear of being seen as mentally ill, or stupid, keeps people from reporting other things they have seen. My own Father would never support UFO but has told me about a strange light that stalled the VW bus years ago in Coloma. Never did figure out what it was. He later said it must of been a helicopter with a search light and the bus just happened to stall at the time. Me? I was sound asleep. So, who does know hummm? Personally, I believe there is something going on. Exactly what I do not know, but something.
