Just read about a Canadian minister who believed in UFOs - ah well, I never believed in politicians, they always seem as though power inevitably went to their heads and turned them kooky. What is truly frightening is that now there is a credible claim that Ronald Reagan believed that we were facing an imminent threat of alien invasion, supposedly inspired by his fascination for old science fiction films. Apparently, he even asked Gorbachev to join him in defending humanity from alien invasion. Gorbachev, it seems, changed the subject, somewhat unsurprisingly. Gorbachev must have been absolutely terrified - I mean, here was the leader of the West, a man who could at any moment press a little red nuclear button on his slightest whim, telling the poor man that he believed in aliens. Apparently, Colin Powell would wisely delete any mention by Reagan in his public writings of UFOs and extraterrestrials.
Incidentally, I do absolutely believe that pilots every now and then experience all sorts of things that cannot be easily explained by current modern science. it is just that I think that there are a myriad other possibilities/explanations for such sightings, other than UFOs.
