    So, half point. Definitely not fake, but don’t look much like aliens, as opposed to angels, spirits, a Chinese or American research program, natural plasma objects or something else entirely we haven’t even thought of.

    They’re UFOs, with an emphasis on U.

      Fair.

      Well, minus ‘A Chinese or American research program’. The ability for the US or China to keep an active, capable project like that a secret for over two decades is incredibly unlikely. More unlikely than anything else postulated.

      …but still, definitely unknown.

      The really interesting part, though, is that it demonstrates the ability of the populous to see something with immense implications - then just shrug it off, forget, and get back to the ‘normal’ things.

        That is interesting. The human capability for apathy is astounding. I was just talking about this in another thread on idiot-proofing things.
