What ever next??? It seems that the RAF (that’s the Royal Airforce for any non-UK readers) has finally come to the conclusion that it no longer merits having an officer (that’s ONE officer) dedicated to the investigation of “UFO” reports.
The conspiracy theorists are going to have a fit. Indeed the adorable”Hacky” Gary McKinnon is going to have to hack the MOD database in his ever more obsessive search for ‘evidence’ of said “UFO’s”
Does this mean that at long bloody last some common sense has finally percolated into the minds of the military – assuming that they have them – and that they have finally thrown in the towel and accepted that “UFO’s” are total, complete and utter rubbish.
Took them long enough eh? The rest of the world – excluding conspiracy theorists; certified nutters; and new age nincompoops – knew this all along.
Milton Keynes will never be the same without its flying saucers and the West Country will surely suffer when crop circles are accepted to be the result of drunken student pranks and not invaders from Mars.
I think all the crop circle stuff has gone way beyond UFO lore into a thing in of itself. I mean, what spaceships are tantric tulip mandala shaped?
What’s more interesting, I think, is that the circle makers are so aware of the literature that follows their art that their work can be considered authentic additions to the landscape. In the same way that we feel no need to let the grass grow over a white horse.
Fantastic stuff.
Well PB, was interesting they said that they are not a defensive threat, not that they dont actually exist…
I certainly dont think UFO’s can be ruled out. Plently of seasoned pilots, and trained military observers have seen them. Do I think they are aliens? Possibly. Do I think they could be something that our brains just cannot contemplate? Absolutely!@Bad Manners wrote:

Absolutely!True, they didn’t explicitly state that UFOs didn’t exist – they actually avoided that whole area of speculation – but it seems to me that having only one Officer tasked with UFO investigations is hardly a ringing endorsement is it?
When that Officer is permanently assigned elsewhere and not replaced I reckon that this sends a message – “We’re not going to be spending any more of the taxpayers money investigating utter rubbish”.

Then again conspiracy theorists would say that all this means is that they don’t need a UFO investigator because they’ve made contact with the aliens…the top brass might even be aliens…so there’s no need to do any more investigation into UFO’s…we need to unmask the aliens… (well we don’t do witch hunts any longer, communism isn’t the threat it was, so we have to have a new bogeyman to hunt for!) :lol:
Personally I think the majority of the reports can be explained quite rationally, however there are still a significant number of reports from respected individuals that still can’t be explained. Are these visits from aliens? or from time travellers? who knows?
However, UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Object…not necessarily alien, just unidentified. So who’s going to investigate the latest aircraft that defies radar and confuses people? Or more likely, the errant weather balloons and chinese lanterns…
Yeh but……….ike-arnt understand what all the fuss is about :lol:
UFO’S DO EXIST! They make them in a factory in North China! Seriously, I seen it on Discovery..

This is what I’ve come to adore about the ‘conspiracy theory’ nutters. Something happens and for a while nobody can come up with a ‘rational’ explanation. Enter the conspiracy nutter with the inevitable “little green men from Mars” explanation for the seemingly inexplicable. The more you tell them not to be so silly, the more they become convinced that theirs is the one true explanation and everybody else is “covering up the truth.”
All we need now is for some half pissed yokel to see a flashing light in the night sky and off we go again.
If the “little green men from Mars” want to invade us and take over the country they’re welcome to it. I’m sure they could make a better job of it than the present Government is doing.

I personally wouldn’t want any part of me invaded by a little green man, but I believe you have given a great idea for a film pb.. Earth is invaded, the members of government are killed, or banished, etc, and the aliens take over. Could we leave Margraet Thatcher here though, as this could be yet another idea for a pornographic film,.. perhaps.. The Aliens Do Maggie.. No holes barred of course.. :-… (And what am i barfing for, when I’m the idiot that suggested it?!
And what do you mean by “Some half pi ssed yokel seeing flashing lights in the sky” ?.. I do every night,.. It’s a plane, but if I weren’t sane, i could quite easily mistake it for a Space-Ship of some kind!
I was once told of a practical joke that could be played on a spinster.
You bang several times on her front door and make “odd sounding” noises ….. then as she approaches to investigate, you poke a big green cucumber through the letter box and shout “Oh My God ….. The Martians have landed!!!!!”
But seriously though …………….
