What are you talking about, man? That was my wife getting ticked at me again...

Pretty cool. I don't believe in UFO's, per se, but I don't disbelieve, either.

That was clearly a case of swamp gas or a weather balloon

It looked like somebody fired on it and it got the heck out of dodge in a bookoo hurry

I thought for a moment that it might have been one of Scotty's spheres from up North but I saw no LEGGS on it

You got that right...I make the spheres move slow and deliberate while the target runs around in circles and then...

SPLAT!

Why shouldn't we believe in the possibility of UFO's and extraterrestial life?

If you look at where we sit in our galaxy, which is in one of the outer arms, we could be looked at as the backwoods hillbillies of the Milky Way ..... meaning we are relatively young compared to the rest of the galaxy. Humanoid life has been around only 100,000 years at best, and on a galactic scale is considered to be the blink of an eye compared to the age of our solar system.

UFO's are just unidentified, nothing more....As far as ET's I don't doubt that a bit...As of February 7 2011, astronomers have announced the confirmed detection of 529 such planets.[1] There are at least another 1,235 planet candidates awaiting confirmation by more detailed investigations,[2] including 54 that may be in the "Habitable Zone".
Forgot...Heres the Drake equation

We SHOULD actually. I think you have to be pretty narrow minded to think that out of all the stars we can see at night, with each star probably having at least one planet that could support life, we're still the only beings in the universe.
