I wonder why on this subject everyone overlooks two major events witnessed by thousands of people some of which former military pilots and instead focus on science fiction scenarios. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian_UFO_wave https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian_UFO_wave https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Lights https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Lights People try to explain these events in all kind of ways avoiding the most obvious one no matter what. Is it fear? the lack of recognition by authorities? I never understood why people will talk freely about aliens in the universe but aliens here is always a taboo or a subject of ridicule no matter the evidence.

I think its more likely the government was testing military equipment.

  > Witnesses claim to have observed a huge V-shaped (several football field sized), coherently-moving dark UFO (stars would disappear behind the object and reappear as it passed by), producing no sound, and containing five spherical lights or possibly light-emitting engines Do you really think the military has this kind of technology?

    Do you think there used to be dragons roaming the earth?

      Do you still think the earth is flat? This is how it sounds when you try to ridicule something that you don't know or probably don't want to know for various reasons, you should read more on the subject with an objective mind.

        I think the comparison with dragons is appropriate. Religion and talk about hell and demons was in-vogue at the time so dragons fit in well with that. Why did aliens wait for us to develop advanced technology before manifesting themselves, and why did they stop now that smartphones and google-earth are common-place things?
