This week Colin Andrews posted an article on his web site which claimed that British Royal Family and British Ministry Of Defense asked him to remove some UFO and Crop Circle related document from his website. Link Deleted

Another post from this dude. Last week his post said he was linking to a CNN article, but he linked to his blog.

2. There is no reason to believe the guy mentioned in the OP
3. UFO's aren't real.
 
Look kid, we don't give two shits about your blog.
And it didn't help that you pissed us off by trying to disguise it as a legit link before.

If you want people to care go to the Coast to Coast AM website.

1. Agreed. Blogs FTL.
2. Agreed. Don't believe anything from anyone.
3. No Unidentified Flying Objects? You're able to identify all obscure objects in the sky when a lot of professionals can't even do so in some instances? You might want to switch professions, you're obviously pro.

Wow, talk about picking at semantics. You know damn well what I mean. Aliens aren't visting earth.

Also, since I'm responding anyway, here's my obligatory (canned) UFO thread response:

Believing UFOs are actively visiting earth requires the following assumptions.
1. There has at some point been life off earth
2. That there is currently life off earth.
3. That there is currently life off earth but relatively nearby (in this galaxy).
4. That the nearby life off earth has evolved intelligence and still exists.
5. That this intelligent life has developed a scientific civilization (see whales / elephants).
6. That the life off earth and nearby with a scientific civilization has developed spaceflight.
7. That the current life off earth nearby with intelligence and a scientific civilization and spaceflight has noticed us.
8. That the current life off earth nearby with intelligence and a scientific civilization and spaceflight and that has noticed us has a means to get here in a timely manner.
9. That the current life off earth nearby with intelligence and a scientific civilization and spaceflight and that has noticed us and a means to get here in a timely manner has visited us yet refuses to make contact in a public way, preferring to kidnap rednecks.
10. That the current life off earth nearby with intelligence and a scientific civilization and spaceflight and that has noticed us and a means to get here in a timely manner and visits us yet refuses to make contact in a public way, preferring to kidnap rednecks has been able to be covered up by the government as easily explainable phenomenon.

I will accept 1-3 as extremely likely, 4 as possible and anything else as highly unlikely at best. Especially when the alternate explanation is "crackpots are seeing patterns where there are none"

Theoretically possible, statistically, improbable almost to the point of certain impossibility.

Person 1 - wooo did you see that fly overhead?!!?!?
Person 2 - Umm no.
Person 1 - Aw damn, cause I don't know what it was.....

= UFO (does not necessarily mean aliens)


Just thought I'd point out the obvious for peeps who don't think UFO's exist! 😉

actually UFO's could be earth-based, we don't know a whole lot about the deepest reaches of our own seas.

actually we do, but those aliens have unidentified swimming submarines and make tsunamis when you piss them off.

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

No, no they couldn't. There are so many reasons why another industrial civilization on this planet would be ridiculously obvious that I can't even begin to enumerate them.

Edit: My apologies, I think I've been duped by a joke post. 😱 I'll check my sarcasm meter next time. 🙂

radio waves? I am sure an advanced enough civilization would not emit much of a footprint on their ecosystem.
