What makes something a "fact" is being able to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. That's why religion isn't a fact, it's a belief....and the same goes for aliens. If there are so many government coverups, etc... The facts have been buried, so there are only beliefs by folks that may have seen something convincing.

The problem is that seeing an Unidentified Flying Object does not prove that aliens exist, nor does it prove that it is being flown by a being at all. There are enough satellites and space junk around to watch...heck, I remember looking at satellites go by when I took an astronomy class once. Did I know which satellite I was looking at? No....it was Unidentified.

I do this very often while sitting in my hot tub and just watching the sky. yes i do know which satellite i am looking at because i got curious and downloaded a free program that has all known satellites and their orbits. i just plugged in my coordinates and knew the name and time of when a satellite was overhead or in my view of the sky.

I DO believe in UFO, I've seen them all the time. The other day, I saw one flying passed me and I couldn't tell what it was.

debi has never seen one and she says she likes it that way.

She says she would be one of those that "panics" and is "terrorized" which is why this is kept from the public.
