This one always tickles me; in fact I am sat at my desk chuckling away to myself reading some of the articles offered up by many esteemed writers, who actually believe this piffle. This drives me to attack this debate head on with a certain amount of humour as this subject truly warrants it. I am not denying that UFO’s exist on this little blue marble of ours, as in people being unable to discern what type of aircraft it is they believe to be an alien vessel. As for little green men in flying saucers, oh behave.

Do any of these people who have professed to have seen or been abducted by a flying saucer know that the flying saucer was actually a fictional invention first seen in comic books in the thirties? This craft has captured the public imagination more than any other but it is a totally human invention used to entertain children and not the craft of choice used by men from mars.

Many communities have built their existence on the public’s fascination with E.T. Roswell is the prime example with the many claims of the weather balloon that came down there in the fifties being an alien vehicle of some sort. Do these people think that the general population cannot tell the difference between I highly advanced spaceship and an assortment of sticks and Baco foil? Then we get the old grainy movie of a supposed forces doctor chopping up a rubber dummy of what the public has come to believe is the typical little green man.

It's not even a good dummy, in fact it is that bad I found it hard to contain the urge to laugh when I first saw this amazing piece of evidence. I laughed even more heartily when I realised that some people were actually sitting there and thinking it was real. Conspiracy theories and government cover ups all add to the intrigue. All these so called flying saucers or unexplained flying objects that are seen flying out in the desert are obviously new experimental aircraft or weapon systems that are being developed by our very own and quite human scientists. If aliens were actually visiting us why do the Americans who site these things assume that they are only visiting certain areas of New Mexico or the nevada desert?

Agreed there have been sightings elsewhere in the U.S. and around the world, however the majority quite predictably come from the U.S. I’m sorry but this cannot be a coincidence, nor can it be that the alien races that are supposedly visiting our little planet enjoy the climate there more than anywhere else in the world.
