I didn't see this one anywhere, so I apologize if there's a thread and I'm missing it.
Regular ATS reader, newly joined member ("long time listener, first time caller"). My question to ATS members (especially the UFO enthusiasts),
stemming from this story, is this: as basic space flight becomes cheaper and more accessible to more and more people, what potential impacts might
this have on the UFO phenomenon?
Paying, non-military, non-government people are already going up, thousands more are guaranteed to follow, and we're on our way to (eventually, one
day, hopefully) complete orbital flights for citizens. And every one is guaranteed to bring cameras to document their experiences.
I'm open minded, and have seen quite a few interesting videos and pictures of UFOs (many here at ATS), but almost all are taken from the ground, and
space footage I've seen from NASA hasn't convinced me completely. However, individual, private citizen accounts, with documentation from up there,
would go a long way toward making believers out of everyone, negating any potential government cover-up.
Could widespread, sub-orbital, commercial space flight prove to be a tipping point for proving (or disproving) the existence of non-terrestrial UFOs?
Thoughts please.
