A lot of reasonable, intelligent people have reported seeing objects in the sky that were unidentified (covering myself a bit here). But have you ever noticed that whenever somebody claims to have actually had contact with an alien or been abducted, or whatever, it's never the concertmaster of the symphony or a cardiovascular surgeon. You never hear this:
SURGEON: We had a bit of time between the quadruple bypass grafting and the aortic coarctation repair, so we broke scrub and stepped outside the hospital. There, by the helicopter pad, we saw a large disk hovering in the air. Dr. Smith stood up and walked toward it; I tried to stop him, but he was mesmerized and moved forward. In the blink of an eye he turned into a blur and then just disappeared. I have never seen anything like it!
It's always this:
Bubba (wearing a Molly Hatchet t-shirt with holes and stains on it): Cletus and I went fishin' in the swamp. Nothin' was bitin' where we was when we first set off, so we went deeper into it. We was just startin' to get a few bites when we seen this big braht disk in the sky. It was jus' hangin' there. Unreal, man. Then it moved over 'til it was raht over our heads. Then, a big laht came down lahk a big-I'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this. laser pointer. I tol' Cletus to move, but he jus' stood there. Purty soon the laht fell on him and then it jus' picked him up, man. Carried him raht up into that thang. Aint never seen anythang lahk it. I figgered I was a goner! But then it jus' flew off, lahk a flash. It was out of saht in about 5 seconds.
I baited a lahn and cast it in. Fish weren't jus' gonna jump into the boat....Never did see Cletus agin, though.
Just saying.

"We are not provided with wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can take for us, an effort which no one can spare us, for our wisdom is the point of view from which we come at last to regard the world." --M. Proust
