I believe that governments around the world take this subject very seriously. I mean, how can they not, considering all the militery sightings that have happened around the world, let alone the thousands of other sightings worldwide.
The sad fact of the matter is, we have hardcore de-bunkers, and hardcore believers, who both make the subject a joke. But if you step back from all that rubbish, and actually look at the good unexplained cases, without the believer or de-bunker beliefs, then the only assumption you can come up with is that something unexplained in flying in our air-space.
An assumption is no longer necessary, UFOs are factual. No one is qualified over anyone else to explain UFOs as no one can explain them. Whether you wear a uniform or are just the Average Joe on the street, no particular experience is necessary. If you are a believer, you have something to believe in. If you are an experiencer you're one of the "lucky" ones. I am one of the lucky ones.
My opinion is more valid than a believer who hasn't had a serious, unquestionable sighting, whether the believer is a general, a cop, or whatever.
But surely experienced people like atmospheric expert Dr James E.MacDonald or people of his credibility and scientific background viewing something in the sky are more likely to perceive what explanations of their own sightings might be than say the ordinary man or woman on the streets;edit on 15/07/2010 by K-PAX-PROT because: (no reason given)
Nothing happens from even a serious closeup, especially a daylight sighting, as we do not have the required data base. All that happens is that you witness something that is not in your mental data base and if you are familiar with most human aircraft it blows your mind that this object has no semblance to any of "ours" or that it behaves as a human aircraft is supposed, obeying aeronatical laws that we've composed based on our physical
reality.
If it's a nightime sighting it has to go beyond a spot of light in the distance even if it's doing "strange" maneuvers.
My sighting of the 3 "stars" that went from standing still to hauling away is not your average nightime sighting. Atmospheric expertise doesn't buy you anything that wasn't known, the experience cannot be explained in sure terms.
An average person will report the experience in much the same terms. If Mr MacDonald had had my "quality" sightings he wouldn't have been able to add anything to my report as I've been involved with UFOs since 1957 and I've had 5/6 sightings. I'm not trying to make myself more important than anyone else who saw something that was foreign to their view of life. But because I started "early" and educated myself my UFO reports would have been and were as detailed as possible.
