Dear Keith
thank you for your query
HST has a number of "unidentified objects" that cross its field of view. these images are discarded as contaminated. they are liekely satellites and
orbital debris.
UFOs are real in that lots of people see things is the sky they can't identify.
UFOs are NOT interstellar vehicles because.
1. most reports are of simply lights in the sky
2. there has never been a well-documented daytime sighting of a "spaceship" just think of all the footage taken on 9/11
3. there are no artifacts that point to manufacture by an advanced technology.
4. "contactee" stories are ALL ripped off from sci-fi pop culture.
5. it's very unlikely alien species would be humanoid given the varagies of biological evolution.
6. 60 years of modern UFO sightings have told us nothing new about the possibility of life in space. there has been no advances in knowledge. We've
learned a lot more from exoplanet discoveries over the past 12 years.
7 manifestations of extraterrestrial intelligence would be machine, not frail biological organisms.

===================
What is going with these people??!?!
1. What about numerous people actually seeing full blown UFO's in Phoenix (Phoenix Lights), Chicago (O'Hare Airport) and Britain (Guernsey
Incident). For pete sake's, that is a ridiculous response.
2. Thousands of people have seen them in plain sight, even in daylight. Even the former mayor of Phoenix saw the ET craft in Phoenix in 1997. The
O'hare case hundreds of people saw the craft as it was sitting there and zoomed through the cloud curtain leaving a whole. And in Guernsey, the pilot
and passengers saw the craft in plain sight in daytime. Good point about 9/11, but I think seeing a UFO and not knowing what it is by a few hundred
people, is a little different then seeing a plane crash into a skyscraper in a city of millions of people. And there were plenty of people who took
video of the phoenix lights, where you can clearly see the outline of a large craft.
3. He knows there has been. I guess you can't speak with that security clearance. Maybe, they are not sloppy at their work like us humans.
4. Perhaps, sci-fi tales where based on real experiences.
5. Yes, they may not be humanoid. But they may be able to take any shape after all they have achieved inter-dimensional travel. Why couldn't they
have tech that would allow them to change appearance.
6. Well, considering people see UFO's that would tell up something about the existence of life outside our own. And planet's exoplanet research
doesn't tell us much except that
7. Theoretically you may be right, if based on our technology. Who know how their technologies really work. Perhaps it takes almost no time at all to
get between their home planet and ours. And they have a good supply of people willing to travel the galaxy. That would make sense for them to send
people around the galaxy. Perhaps, they also have machine drones as well.
My conclusion. This guy is good at short, canned responses that are easily refuted. He is definitely hiding something and taking the company line as
far as the responses he sent to you. He probably gets many emails like this.
