Voila! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. - Hugo Weaving as "V"

UFOs Fact or fiction
this is a cool mix but be warned there is a little swearing in the song. The videos are really interesting and it makes you wonder if we are really being watched by aliens - what do you think?

I'd e very interested to hear peoples views on the subject of ufos, aliens, alien abductions, space travel...anything like this actually.

People crave to discover the undiscovered. The majority of stuff like this is a flatout haox, but a very small percent contains footage of genuinely unexplained phenomena.

Generally a large number of the unexplained things are doing the filming.

It would be interesting to find out that we aren't alone in the universe, that is if the other life we find is a) worth talking to and b) doesn't start an interplanetary war with us. It is I suppose possible that aliens are watching us right now and are so far advanced that we only catch the briefest of glimpses of them, but I find this unlikely, what would be the point of it for them? If they are advanced enough to manage it then we aren't likely to be of interest to them for a couple of hundred years, unless they are looking for slave labour or food. Though I suppose we could take the idea followed in "mating habits of the earthbound human" and just presume that we are a bunch of labrats complete with ready made cage, and are therefore of some anthropological interest.

Like God, UFOS come into the "Great Unknown Mysteries" category.

I have no idea if they are real or not. But find the subject interesting.

The Chariots of the Gods theory, that we were "planted" here millennia ago by aliens and they have been coming back to check up on their harvest from time to time would explain alot. (especially the anal probes.)

But to be honest, I like Wyote, think the majority of UFO sightings and stories of abductions are all just the tales of people with low self esteem who find they can get some kind of popularity and be of interest for one time in their life.

Interestingly, with the saturation of video cameras and photographic cell phones, the number of UFO sightings has actually decreased. Hmmmm. There's a thought.

Its a pity all the bullshit makes it impossible to sift through and find the genuine cases. If indeed there are any.

In relation to UFOS.

I remember being interested in dinosaurs as a child and there used to always be the odd news clipping of some kind of prehistoric sea monster that had washed up dead or been caught in drifts nets.

But for some weird reason no one really paid it any mind. Here was actual proof of sea monsters, or at least what they really were. And it wasn't of any interest to the world in general.

But a Scotsman takes ten seconds of footage of a dark, blurry shape in Loch Ness and its world wide news.

I guess this proves that these great mysteries will only hold our attention while they are in fact that. A mystery. And loose all interest once they have been proven or disproven either way.

Funny thing I asked a neighbor (scientist) about the same thing, some fisherman had caught what was thought to be a prehistoric fish. So I asked him, did it prove to be a hoax? I also asked, was it like some sci-fi being frozen in some glacier or hibernating with an extremely long life span, was it the last of it's species or are there others?
As it is he didn't know what came of it?
Which I found odd as he is an academic so even those in related fields aren't discussing it
