400 billion times 100 billion times 400 billion times X,(the unknown number of orbiting bodies around any given star) and you came up with FOUR?

Was there some kind of attempt at humor there that I missed, or are you that incredibly stupid? Or stoned?

Are you perhaps a product of Bush's 'No Child Left Behind' educational system? You could even make that imbicle appear to be of normal intellegence. Actually, you sound as if you could be in his cabinet.

"There are 400 billion stars in our galaxy, any one of which could have life-supporting planets orbiting them. Ours is one of 100 billion galaxies. Do the math!"

I did the math, and I get 4 stars per galaxy. :P

[sseedragon]

People just give up! ... This idea of a UFO is like saying the earth is flat and not round ... The only way people will agree if there is a UFO if it hit them on the HEAD!

So if you see another report on a sighting of a UFO, you better believe someone will try and discredit it ...

I for one believe that there are other life other then earth ... Think of this; There are more stars in the sky then there are one grain of sand in the entire earth. Thats a FACT!

[mick7744]

There are 400 billion stars in our galaxy, any one of which could have life-supporting planets orbiting them. Ours is one of 100 billion galaxies. Do the math!
Can we be so arrogant as to imagine that ours is the only planet where life exists? The odds against there not being other life in some form would generate a number too long to be written on all the paper manufactured from every tree on Earth
As to whether or not they%u2019ve been regularly visiting us to probe the orifices of unlucky earthlings, I remain skeptical, although one thing remains pretty clear. If on nothing else, all the planet%u2019s major governments seem to be united in their determination to suppress and discourage any reporting of extraterrestrial encounters. Reporting a UFO in the former Soviet Union would earn you a long stay in one of their infamous %u2018mental institutions%u2019.
Some years ago, an article appeared on the front page of the NY Times, relating reports by hundreds of people, among them, at least two NYPD patrol cars who left their precincts in Upper Manhattan to follow a number of strange objects down the length of Manhattan and along Brooklyn%u2019s coastline. Could several hundred delusional people all suffer the same hallucination at the same time?
We%u2019ll never know! That was the only report I ever saw%u2026not another word anywhere. Perhaps the powers that be at our news organizations were all zapped by Will Smith%u2019s %u201Cflashy thing%u201D

Good thinking!

[goodmystery]

Weather phenomena have always been an easy out for airlines / FAA / military who would rather not have the public think their people are seeing flying saucers. With my B.S. physics degree and 40 plus years of studying UFO reports, ball lightning, swamp gas, and the ionized plasma that create strange weather phenomena; never heard of any that didn't emit light, could shoot up into the sky, or make a hole in the clouds.

[mecbno]

It's currently 4:30 in the afternoon- same time as the sighting. As i look out my window, I don't see how an airport light shining on a cloud in the daytime can produce an image of a metallic object in the sky. Even if the light was powerful enough to reflect off the cloud it would produce - well, a light, which is not what they saw.

It's amazing how the FAA doesn't even feel their explanations need to make sense.

All the smart, smart people in major media couldn't raise that question?

Another major media site said a photo of the object exists somewhere. I hope it surfaces.

[coryp5]

I believe the people who said they saw the ufo. Now I want to see it. I want to hear them tell their stories. And I challenge FAA spokeswhatever Ms. Cory to re-create a lightshow which makes a ufo appear, then have that ufo appear to create and fly through a hole in the clouds. I'll bet she can't do it. I'd even let her have David Copperfield help her. $20.

[mikee322]

First, UFO's do not have to be alien. There are lots of reports of them being spotted near military bases. Second, Some of these people are in the aircraft business, its difficult to believe all of them would get it wrong. If the FAA doesn't want to launch an investigation to maintain these 50 year old illusions then perhaps they should tell us the truth before the French beat them to it.

[kathkeane]

1. Why a cover up? An unidentified flying object is just what it says. If a group of aviation industry folks say they saw one, then they did.
2. The reply by the union steward was hilarious and appropo.
3. I wonder what going through the mind of the captain of the aircraft which was "chosen" by the UFOs as he flew and if any passengers witnessed the UFO. Fascinating.

[fallngempire]

I'm not saying this was a UFO, but the FAA is such a pack of liars I'd automatically discount every word out of their mouth as a lie unless proven otherwise repeatedly in either a court or a lab.

[educates]

FAA is another acronum for Faulty Analytical Air-occurences. I am in Area 57. Locals see this *** all the time and are told that is "gas." Go to Roswell, N.M. and talk to the locals in a bar and they will tell you straight away about the little "Roswell Incident."

[mrassekh]

Ball lightning.

[syphlis]

WHERE THE F*CK IS WILL SMITH WHEN WE NEED HIM!@!1

[freckster]

What ticks me off is the last paragraph where the FAA outright LIES about any UFO report. If they lie about stupid (traceable) things like that can you imagine how they lie and cover up on the big issues?

[vancouverboo]

Swamp Gas.
