UFOs

I had a small discussion with a fellow who was convinced that UFOs were vehicles from another planet and were controlled by INTELEGENT forces. He had all the classic arguments, lights, people being taken aboard a UFO, all the other stories as sold to him in countless “Unexplained Mysteries” TV programs. He even said he saw a light he could not explain, but had to admit he was not sure of what it was.

My question to him was “If these UFOs are controlled by an intelligence… Why don’t they act in an intelligent manner?” Intelligence would denote the things have a purpose outside of just spooking the locals. I asked the fellow if he thought these UFOs wanted to be seen, or did they NOT want to be seen. He came up with some story about how they just may be here to observe us or they fear we can’t handle the idea of advanced intelligent life, so they don’t want us to see them.

Well being a smart-ass skeptic type I ask him “Why then if these so called intelligent being do not want to be seen do they fly around with the light on?” After all even us lowly Earthlings know if you are in the dark, “Job One” in the not being seen business is to NOT flash bright lights at people!!!!! He made up some lame excuse like “maybe their propulsion device makes the lights” But that doesn’t wash, after all we humans can fly around at night and not be heard or seen even on radar, but apparently these interstellar travelers CAN’T mimic what we do? Being seen is even easier for obvious reasons.

No, there is one conclusion you can make about your typical UFO. It is NOT controlled by an intelligence, it’s an unintelligent event that we human attach intelligence to. We do it because it is more fun to claim to have seem an alien spacecraft than to have seen a light you could not explain.
