UK releases secret UFO files

[Marcia]

Yep, the truth is finally out:

Britain releases batch of files on UFO sightings [news.yahoo.com]

The incident is one of hundreds of reported sightings contained in more than 1,000 pages of formerly secret UFO documents being released Wednesday by Britain's National Archives. It is one of the few that was never explained.

The air traffic controllers' "Report of Unusual Aerial Phenomenon" was filed from an unspecified small airport near the eastern coast of England.

Sounds fascinating. I wonder what really happened. >;->

Has anyone yet comprehensively disproved the notion that our planet is orbited by and / or watched by literally thousands of extra-terrestrial craft and that a number of different types of extra-terrestrial intelligences have been resident on Earth for millennia?

[aj113]

It's not for anyone to disprove. The onus of proof is the one making the assertion.

[grandpa]

....or watched by...

But what are they watching for? Could it be that we're nothing more than a cosmic zoo?

[ronin]

The onus of proof is the one making the assertion.

Yes, of course it is. The question was tongue-in-cheek. >;->

By the way, who is this handsome looking fellow?

[LifeinAsia]

In the full report, any sightings listed of a mysterious flying blue box or The Doctor [en.wikipedia.org]?

Just because they are unidentified doesnt mean they come from the planet Zog etc etc

They aren't space travellers they are time travellers. It is no coincidence that there are many ufo sightings in the weeks leading up to events of great historical importance. Time tourism must be a big industry to our descendants.

The crop "circles" are deliberately made by the time travellers to confuse and annoy us.

If it was Aliens they would have landed somewhere public and introduced themselves by now, as we would if we landed on another planet.

[Syzygy]

Perhaps they follow the Prime Directive and thus merely observe...

[Old_Honky]

Or they could be just farming us. As obesity rises word wide; fat parents breed fat kids, and in a few generations we could all be "oven ready".

Perhaps we have never really been top of the food chain, like pigs and battery hens we just think we are...

[SlyGuy]

I heard that they are hired by Google to take all those great satellite photos of the earth..

[Brett_Tabke]

remember, their mission is to serve man [video.google.com].

[Old_Honky]

That was a great episode, I remember watching that on terrestrial TV. Many years ago when I was but a boy.

[piatkow]

But the real files are all Torchwood's bunker in Cardiff!

To "serve man":

If that wasn't a clear, pre-cognitive look at what the power of "steak & sizzle marketing" on the internet would be in future years to come, I don't know what is.

1) Sell them on the sizzle.
2) Once they're sold, rope them in to accept your "offer."
3) Serve them up as steak.

i thought we were an experiment....highly sophisticated organic computers that record all events.

When we die our recordings go into some great big computer bank to understand why man is so destructive. The knowledge is passed on to other organisms in the outer world.
