UFO's

 

There is at least one reason why, if they exist, they might have traveled here "of all places" - and it actually goes a long way to explaining why sitings increased dramatically just after WWII.

 

That was, our discovery (and use) of nuclear power.  As the character Klaatu so eloquently put it in "The Day The Earth Stood Still" (and I paraphrase here), "Until now, you have kept your petty squabbles and aggressions to yourself.  But now that you have developed the ability to leave your planet, your aggression becomes a threat to others."  This was Klaatu's reason for visiting us: to warn us not to bring our aggression into "the peaceful corridors of space."

 

It does not seem a coincidence to me that sitings of UFOs increased hundreds-fold within a couple of years of our planet's first demonstration of nuclear power, or the use to which is was put: the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  Even assuming an alien race had developed faster-than-light, wormhole or other interstellar travel, it would take them awhile to get here - perhaps a couple of years or more.  Thus, it makes perfect sense that they would show up within a couple of years of 1945.  (Massive sitings began in late 1946/early 1947, and continued for about 5-6 years.)

 

Just a thought...

 

As for a "huge UFO" being seen by "only 3 people," so "it must have been silent," this was, in fact, the situation in one of three or four UFO sitings I have personally had.  (Oh no!  He's not only a Christian, for Pete's sake - he also believes in UFOs!  Now I know he's completely balmy!)  In my case, it was actually seen by more than 3 people (at least 10, and possibly more), and whatever it was was, in fact, silent.  Indeed, this freaked all of us out even more than its mere presence (it was as large as a commercial airliner) or its flying lower than it had any right to be.  It was that, despite its size and how low it was, it made absolutely no sound whatsoever - not even a hum.  And the four people I was with, the couple we ran into at that time, and another two couples who shouted to us from up the block all commented on this particular aspect of the event.  And let me tell you: it is beyond freaky, even frightening, to be confronted with an object that large not making any discernible noise at all.  (And yes, we all reported it - and yes, we were all told not to "get high" so often.  I cannot speak for the other two groups, but my group was not under the influence at the time.)

 

Peace.

 

Actually, she is being held in very tight security down in Area 51 for detailed examination. It appears her "magic wand" cannot yet be explained. More research is and time and money will be needed to get to the bottom of her shananagains.

 

I am still looking out for intelligent life on this planet!
