This has always been an interesting topic for me. There are plenty of "sightings" which would lead one to believe that there are. Heck, I even remember going up to the "Heights" in West Frankfort after getting a Dairy Queen ice cream cone and looking at the sky with my Mom and Dad.
I always felt that if the aliens had been around they were pretty damn good at picking up after themselves. You would think that after all of these years they would have left some trash that the Govt couldn't cover up.
Truly though - the largest sighting that makes me wonder is the "Belgian Wave" some years back. It was thoroughly tracked and the Belgians don't have a veil of secrecy like our government seems to.
To be honest, it always p!sses me off that our government tends to make fun of our own citizens who see unexplained things - these are folks (make funner uv ers) that would not have a job without us taxpayers.
Example: Ted who is out camping sees a bright light - getting brighter - coming right at him. Ted has been out in the woods many times before. He knows where Mars is, where Orion is and where the moon should be. He is flippantly told that he saw Swamp Gas. Well I don't know about you - but I know what swamp gas is - and it ain't a ball of light in the air at 6000 feet. So doesn't Ted at least deserve to be taken seriously? Maybe he saw a meteorite. But he shouldn't be made fun of.
