Introduction

Well, where do I begin? For some strange reason I felt compelled to write about UFOs and comment on some very old as well as current UFO goings on. I don't think the urge was anything akin to Richard Dreyfuss's compulsion to build a big mud mountain on his kitchen table, but I think it's more a way to get my thoughts in order on this multifaceted and mysterious subject.

There aren't many subjects I know much about, but I guess this one might qualify as one I'm pretty familiar with...but come to think about it, how much do even the the premier "UFO experts" know regarding the subject? Not much, come to think of it.

When it comes down to it, we basically know that they—UFOs—exist (if you have trouble on this one please move along or do a little bit of research). I'm not talking about misidentified birds or planes, etc., but genuine unconventional aerial vehicles whose existence is not exactly advertised by the powers that be. These vehicles have been flying in our friendly skies since at least the 1940s, and by various accounts from all over the world they've been around for hundreds of years. Even if one hasn't made his mind up on the possibility of alien life visiting our planet, there is an enormous pile of evidence that says someone is flying these unconventional craft around our skies.

We also know that the governments of the larger countries know much more than they're telling (at least the handful of those governments' members who are privy to the most sensitive information). Seriously, even if our governments haven't been in communication with extraterrestrials, they've probably scavenged enough of the alleged wrecked craft and if they've seen even one dead body they know something's up, and they ain't talking...

Even the experts in the field who start rattling off "facts" often tend be using conjecture since there is very little beside UFO characteristics and case reports that we have in the way of solid information. Other than those researchers who get out and do field investigation, leg work, or look for official information archived in presidential libraries, I have a hard time calling someone an expert who pompously pontificates from his computer keyboard without having anything substantial to contribute but his own opinion yet portrays himself as having all the answers. You know the type.

Well, enough of my own pontification. I hope you enjoy your visit and check in from time to time.
