Many nations have disclosed their UFO files recently. For anyone with any interest in the subject I recommend looking up these more interesting incidents. [b]The Washington Merry Go Round[/b] - July 12-27 1952, multiple objects over Washington DC. Fighters were scrambled several times with "shoot-down" orders. Many news reports exist. [b]The Battle of Los Angeles[/b] - thousands of rounds were fired at an unknown object one night during WW2 over Los Angeles with several civilian deaths on the ground from falling Anti aircraft fire. News reports exist, and at least one photo [b]Illinois Triangle, Jan 5, 2000[/b] -several police from the Shilo, Milstead, Lebanon and at least two other Illinois police departments track a triangular object as it flys over their towns one after the other. (* this one is super interesting with lots of police documentation, dispatch recordings, drawings ect.) [b]Kecksburg, PA Crash[/b] -many witnesses to a crash and military retrieval of something. After years of official denials The Freedom of Information Act has turned up a paper confirming 200 or so U.S. military personnel were in Kecksburg that night. [b]Shag Harbor Incident[/b] -many witness something crash into the sea & Canadian military search. (It's more interesting than I make it sound;) [b]Kinross Incident[/b] -fighter scrambled over lake Superior to intercept an unidentified radar blip. The fighters radar blip and the unknown blip "merged and then faded out" no wreckage/oil slick were ever found. [b]Bentwaters Airforce Base Incident[/b] -2 nights in a row an object was spotted and investigated by U.S. military perspersonnel at, what was at the time, a secret U.S. base in Britan. The Lieutenant Colonel who led the search on the second night had a voice recorder, and described what he saw as it happened. The tape exists. [b]Japan Airlines sighting over Alaska[/b] -veteran pilot with around 30 years expirience lost his wings for reporting being chased by a massive craft "the size of 2 U.S. aircraft carriers" the shape of a "shelled walnut" with 2 similar but smaller craft "in formation". A second similar sighting occured a short time later by a U.S. Air Force pilot, also over Alaska. Radio recordings exist for both. [b]The Belgian Wave[/b] - over the span of 2 years many reports were made by civilians, military and police of a triangular object which was said to maneuver unlike anything known to exist. The sightings peaked on the night of march 30/31 1990. An estimated 13,500 people on the ground saw these things, 2,600 of which filed written reports. F-16 fighters were scrambled with air and ground radar confirmation. Major General Wilfried De Brower gave a press briefing and many news clips exist. [b]N.A.S.A Transmitions[/b] -on several occasions different astronauts at several different times were recorded from space using the terms "U.F.O.""Unidentified Flying Object" and "Alien Spacecraft". As well as other interesting transmissions and a few blurry official photos taken by astronauts. [b]The Arizona Lights[/b] - Mass sighting of a monstrously huge thing that flew over the state of Arizona on more than one occasion, with hundreds (mabey thousands) of witnesses. Most saw bright red orbs of light arranged in a massive V formation moving slowly. Some witnesses directly underneath the thing reported that the lights were held together, with the spaces in between the lights "shimmering like water". Many news reports, photos and videos exist. [b]Cash -Landrum Incident/Lawsuit[/b] -Dec 29 1980, 3 people in a car suffer radiation damage from a low hovering diamond shaped UFO, which was joined by many helicopters in tight formation (a victim counted 23, some were identified as CH-47 Chinooks) which escorted the thing away. An off duty police officer and his wife reported seeing a "helicopter fleet" to independant investigators. An official U.S. Gov. investigation found that no helicopters we're in the area and the Government wouldn't admit knowledge of the mystery craft. A $20 million lawsuit was filed against the US government but the case was dismissed because the plaintiffs couldn't prove the helicopters were owned by the U.S. Later the freedom of information act turned up a paper confirming that 100 helicopters landed at nearby Fort Hood that night....the paper was hand written by the very officer who would later lead the official U.S. Gov. investigation. [b]"Western White House" Sighting Jan 8, 2006[/b] -A 300 meter long UFO with bright lights moving low and fast seen in the Stevenville/Dublin TX area by 12+ including a pilot, County Constable and business owners heading straight for the Western White House (Crawford Ranch) of Pres. George W. Bush. USAF fighters were reported seen in pursuit of the object. Radar reports backed up the eyewitnesses. [b]Nov. 20, 2003 Washington D.C.[/b] -FAA and NORAD radar detect an unknown blip in the restricted airspace above the White House. 2 fighters were scrambled and evacuation preparations were made but the evacuation was called off when a search found nothing. Fox, Reuters and CNN covered the story. [b]White House Evacuation, April 27, 2005 10:40am[/b] -A UFO blipped across US security radar 20 miles south of Reagan National Airport. It moved at speeds around 75-120 mph tword the White House. President Bush was evacuated to an underground bunker and VP Cheney was escorted off WH grounds to a separate secure location. The blip disappeared from radar, then reappeared again near the airport. A helicopter search turned up nothing. *[i]"Unidentified Flying Object" is not the same as "Spacemen". Many "UFOs" are likely under license to the US Government.[/i]

Wait, Canada has a defense? I thought it was a phone line that goes directly to US president

I believe that the probability of other sentient life in the universe is high. But I also believe that if and/or when we are visited, the likelyhood of a friendly meeting will be slim. Not because other lifeforms would be aggressive or cruel, but because a being capable of such a feat as traveling the universe would undoubtably see us as irrelevant. Much the way we don't bother to heed the line of ants we step on as we go about or daily routine, we would certainly appear just as trivial in the eyes of such a being.

So why would aliens care if we use nukes on our planet? The blasts from them and the radiation isn't going to leave the planet.

[quote]Russia Today[/quote] Hahahahahahahaha

Even if it was aliens then considering they're more advance than us, the UFOs are probably unmanned like the Curiosity rover.

Do I believe in life on other planets? Yes. Do I believe that it is complex sentient life? Maybe. Do I believe that they have advanced technology and have been to Earth but choose not to reveal themselves because of some secret agenda? No, that's bs.

Apparently he didn't feel that this was worthy of mention while he was actually serving as defence minister.

There sure are a lot of politicians using drugs these days.

[quote]Former Canadian Defense Minister confirms ALOENS FROM TEH FUTER[/quote]FTFY

I mean, he was the defense minister during the 60's, who is to say he wasn't tripping balls.

>russiatoday

"No defense minister, people from Quebec are not aliens '" "WAT U TALKIN ABOUT THEY SPEEK DAT ALIEN SPEEK

The government has kept this a secret from society to constrain madness within the country... People would be frantic and whenever there is a sighting they hurry to cover it up with a lame excuse. [spoiler]lol Halo has begun[/spoiler]
