What about the UFO question, or was that only on my survey?
I was curious what the Aliens were going to be marketing to us.
Did they really ask about UFOs?
Oh come on!!!!!!!
Please tell me I wasn't the only one that had that Q on the survey?
I'm getting freaked out here!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think I took the survey. I usually don't take surveys, and when I do, I always lie. :)
Hi Leanan,
Well, yes. Specifically, they asked "Do you believe in UFOs?"
Which seemed (IMHO) to be the wrong question.
If one has seen a "UFO", and reported it (for example) - is this a matter of belief?
If one knows someone who has seen a "UFO" and reported it (for example), is this a matter of belief?
If one has looked at the data on website of the "National UFO reporting center" and found it interesting, is this a matter of belief?
If one entertains the notion that UFOs perhaps cover a wide range of phenomena, some of which may one day be explained and/or substantiated and/or validated in some way - is this a matter of belief?
Anyhow, I didn't like the question, but answered it anyway.
Kind of like "peak oil". Only different.
whewwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!
They didn't have my brand of sarcanol either.
Sure, there are UNIDENTIFIED flying objects.
Stuff in the air you have no idea what it is.
Unidentified does not mean extraterrestrial.
Good point.
I believe there is life on other planets.
I believe there are unidentified flying objects.
I don't believe the unidentified flying objects are visits by extraterrestrials.
