Well, not really an experiment really. Just a thought and if you have time from all the "serious" U.F.O. discussion and slandering and slinging mud at people ya don't know I'd like to hear from you. ;) I was on my way to see a client today. There was an object "hovering" in the sky. The sun was shining off it and it was hard to see. Still, I made sure I was in a safe place (so I didn't get ran over.) I thought hmmm not a plane. I kept looking and finally could make out what I first suspected it was. A helocopter! ;) Now I never EVER even Once thought iw was a "flying saucer" ;)But, I thought about some skeptics (not all just some loud mouth ones on t.v.) To them me being a simple "rube" from Alabama my first impulse shoud have been to call the local radio station and report a u.f.o. However, in reality my first impulse was to confirm it was a simple everyday craft that is very much "man made." I guess my point is I've seen lots of things in the sky and I have NEVER reported a u.f.o. I think people who do report such things are more dependeble than some "skeptics" would like to think. I know the old "saw" is you can't trust people. But, most of us think of what it more than likely is before we go running to the media yelling u.f.o. So, I guess my thing is don't be so quick to put your fellow humans down as dweebs and rubes. They may actually be seeing something before they report it. I hope this is as clear as mud cause I know what I'm trying to say. Just don't know if I did a good job of it. 8)
 
It's funny you mention this, because on the train ride home I see lots of stuff in the sky. I often look to see how people can mistake man made objects, or birds, or even insects for something else. I've even sen reflections in the train window make me see strange objects.

Also, with regards to:
slandering and slinging mud
I find that this is one of the most polite forums I have ever been in. I would recommend you visit NeoGAF for some real fireworks. There's nothing like drawing the ire of a Nintendo fanboy by making the innocent and factual comment that the PS3 and 360 have better graphics.
We are positively CIVIL on this forum compared to what's out there. I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only person that thinks so.

Trust me. My wife is a World of Warcraft fanatic. I am aware of the fireworks when it comes to gamers. ;)
 
I have a lot of trouble with fanboys. I guess you can equate that to what happens here - UFO Fanboys vs Science Fanboys.


I enjoy u.f.o.s although I have not seen anything that "proves" life is out there. However, Leslie Keen has a interview posted on her facebook with a British pilot that really made me think. There is just something about the way he tells his story that rings "true" to me. He's not making it up and he saw something that shook him. Still, I will have to touch it for myself( Remember Thomas in the bible?) before I can truly beleive it.

As of science I love science. I am a techo nut. I "see" because of science. I have my blood pressure under control because of science. I have flown in a plane because of science. It's just that science to me is a part of the "Devine" mind of the universe. I have had some experiences that I would love to explore scientifically. The problem is there isn't a vialble method that I trust. Maybe hypnosis but it's not reliable according to some researchers. I have also had times when I "knew" though a dream of something that happened. The problem is it's not something I can call up at will so science can't really help me there. Point is I have a Degree from a Liberal Arts University and I am not anti science. I just don't (imo) think we can put everything in a test tube. Maybe that's why I'm in the "soft" sciences. It works better for me. We tend to "stretch" a little to encompass the human experience. But, the down side of that is we have no "absoloutes" that we point to. Anyway, thanks for the conversation. I enjoy (for the most part) the forums.
