It takes a while, but gets pretty good starting about 4 min in.

Lots of UnidentifiedFlyingObjects around.I get hit by one occasionally. Nothing controlled by ETI out there. Sorry. But I suppose that would be pretty cool,huh?

UFOs, the Original Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

So, what do you think? Is it real or just swamp gas and Venus rising etc.
Is there a real Stargate Command?

The Roswell incident, one of the first and most popular UFO stories, may have occurred, if it really did, for this very reason. Roswell AAF, later Walker AFB, was home to the 509th Composite Group. This was the ONLY nuclear-capable unit extant in the world at the time.

Jus' sayin'.

Just becasue it is unidentified don't mean little green men are driving it.
I've seen some pretty wild stuff mid-ocean late at night and some of it I have no idea what it was but I don't for a minute think it was supernatural or extraterrestrial in origin.

As for UFO sightings my money would be on secret/experimental military stuff for a good percentage and intentional hoaxes for a good bit of it. And there are just some serious crackpots out there for the rest of it.

There are some cases that make me wonder. A couple of years ago in the Chicago ORD airport, a flying saucer came down, hovered above the ground, was seeing by many people including pilots, mechanics, ground service personnel. It stayed a few minutes and then shot up vertically and disappeared. It made the papers, people were interviewed, the kind of people that don't go out of their way to attract attention.
And then silence.

I'll keep an open mind but I'm gonna have see it myself.
As for military getting shushed if what they saw was in fact secret aircraft then the military wouldn't want them running their mouths about it.

As far as a hoax goes it would be pretty easy to cause a stir.
Some cheap RC stuff, maybe a few helium balloons, chem lights or some cheap LEDs and voilà instant UFO.

I really doubt that earth is the only inhabited planet.
