Have any of you researched this whole UFO phenomenon that is all over the internet. I went to a presentation with my atheist club about supposed UFO sightings by former government official Robert Hastings, and it sounds pretty looney.
Hastings showed us a short documentary about the various UFO sightings throughout the 20th century. The Pentagon made some of these claims, and apparently the UFOs were interested in the U.S. Government's nuclear energy policies. Yet no one knows how this could possible be true.
There was also a case in which New Hampshire residents Betty and Barney Hill claimed to have been abducted by aliens on their way home from a trip to Canada. Apparently the abduction only lasted two hours because they arrived back at their house two hours after they had initially estimated. Well, that could have been for any reason. Maybe they got stuck in traffic. Maybe they are really bad at time management.
My main problem with all of these theories about UFOs and alien life: All of it is based on abstruse recollections that people have made. Betty and Barney Hill's therapist placed them under hypnosis and they both told their stories about their alleged abductions. Then they drew pictures of these supposedly alien figures, and the little grey buggers looked just like the aliens you see in the movies, The X-files and South Park. Betty and Barney were probably just recalling a nightmare they had. Nowhere is there a single un-manipulated photo or video that anyone took right then and there. All of the pictures we have of these so-called aliens are only illustrations that alleged abductees drew well after they claimed to be abducted.
The same goes for all the other reported incidents. Please watch the video below for more on these crazy tales. I especially like how it quotes the National Enquirer.
