Y2K was a very very real phenomena. A very real threat to the computer systems of the world. It took a lot of preplanning and reprograming to avoid what could have been a hugh problem. If you are a disbeliever in ET thats fine you are entitled to your opinion but please do not group Y2K in with what you think is fantasy because it does not belong in that catagory.

Your not the first to say and guess what, your not going to be the last because nothing will happen.

Personally, I think the only way we're going to see disclosure is when we look up and see a mothership hovering nearby....but maybe that's just me.

I agree and I want to know where all the money from the Arms $ells goes, we paid for them, Government sell them to everybody to the tune of about 2 Billion a year. They haven't sent me a check for a share of the Profits or even paid back the cost to make them. I really doubt the Government will ever admit they lied. They know a lot of people will sue, for all the suffering the Lies have cost us.

I really think that a lot of the UFO mania today is being perpetuated by our enhanced abilities to record and communicate our observations. We all have good inexpensive cameras to take pictures of things we believe to be UFOs and the means to communicate our findings and opinions on electronic forums which can disseminate information at the speed-of-light. This abundance of data would certainly appear to most people to be a great surge in UFO evidence, and in a way it is.
I am a weather watcher and a star gazer. I've always looked up. The first decade of my life was in NYC. Never saw anything other than clouds and stars. Second and third decade on Long Island. Same thing. Now I live in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. Surrounded north, south, east and west by military bases of every kind and I still have never seen anything other than what I expect to see. Oh except for comet Hale-Bopp which was totally awsome !!!!! I do not discount the probability that there are other intelligent lifeforms out there but during nearly 50 yers of observation I still have never seen anything.

This whole idea of disclosure is a real waste of time. It's stupid really. An oxymoron.
As if the governments of the world coming out and saying, "Yes, UFO's exist", is going to give this whole phenomena any more validity. And who's to say that they've divulged everything?
At this point in the evolution of the UFO phenomena, does our government coming out and finally acknowledging publicly that UFO's exist really mean anything? "Oh really, Unidentified Flying Objects are real?"
If you believe in the UFO phenomena already, then chances are you think the government (the US in particular) is covering it up in some way shape or form. You don't trust them. And regardless of what the government may or may not know is not going to have any influence on your beliefs at this point. Right? In fact the more they say they don't know the more you'll believe in it. (Funny how that works... and yet we can't wait for them to come out and sayUFO's are real...)
Many governments have already had "disclosure", yes? And ask yourself this, what has that done for anyone? Or UFOlogy? Have we really made any progress with this phenomena in the last 20 or so years? We're still asking ourselves the same damn questions, are we not?
Has any government come out and said that in fact, an extraterrestrial species has been visiting Earth and that they've been in contact with that government for some time now? (Uh, no, not that I know of.)
Will this supposed disclosure be any different. (Uh, probably not.)
Point is, the mere disclosure that UFO's are flying around in our skies is not disclosure of anything we don't already know or suspect. So it's not disclosure of anything!
There are things we can't always explain, hence the unidentified classification ... but it doesn't mean that these things are aliens visiting from another planet.
UFO's don't = aliens. (not yet anyway)

Perhaps when they say they want disclosure what they really mean is they want contact! I really dont care if the govt says they are real or not. I want to see them! That is all the disclosure I need.

What I meant was, it will be the ALIENS doing the disclosing, not us. I think THEY will decide when we should know, not our government.

ET disclosure, is all about: [besides the ET's,] politics and religion. If President Obama, admits full ET disclosure, he will face a roller coaster ride, in Congressional investigations on the whole topic including the questioning of his Chiefs of Staff on the safety and security of the worlds people's on the present ET invasion.
I'm certain, that there will be some sort of panic, but the panic should be negligible. The ET revelation, will cause somewhat of an uproar, in all of the worlds established religions.
But, bless my heart, and hope to God, everything should turn into a ho-hum attitude on the whole ET topic, but it will also bring about a realization to alot of people here on Earth that we are not alone.
Foofighter's forever,
