Matt, Al And Meredith Believe In UFOs, Curry Undecided

On the "Today" show Wednesday the hosts discussed who believes in UFOs. Al Roker and Matt Lauer both do, and listen carefully for Meredith Vieira saying "I do" as well. But, Ann Curry is undecided. Nonetheless, Dennis Kucinich and Shirley MacLaine would probably approve.

Curry will believe whatever they tell her to believe.

What does believeing in UFOs mean? I've seen plenty of objects in the sky that I was unable to identify. They were all UFOs but their origin was most probably an earthly airport.

Are there interstellar travelers? I have no idea. I find it hard to imagine any advanced cilture wanting to waste time looking at this planet unless they have a very sardonic sense of humor and see our planet as a laughing stop.

Given a means of exploring the universe and accidentally finding this planet, I would post a beacon to other travelers to keep going unless I needed an emetic of a laugh.

This is a real story that happened last week when GWB was at his ranch before his trip to the Middle East.

America is a funny place (and I don't mean ha ha). They have no problems believing the most outrageous of conspiracies about such events as 9/11 or the moon landings. Y'all ever wonder why all these UFO sightings seem to only have occured in the modern era? Maybe before little green men it was fairies and sea monsters. And before then probably something else. Probably since recorded time there has allways been strange sitings of things that, though irrational, were never outside the grasp of people's imagination. In the Excited States Of America, people just don't want to believe that there could be rational explanations. They'd rather believe in conspiracies and UFO's.

whether or not there are or arent UFO's isnt the problem. I have never seen any but when there are over a hundred thousand that have you need to open your mind to all posibilities and not let yourself be close minded about anything. one other thing--this was used by that idiot that thinks he is a journalist just for the purpose of destoying some one that they are afraid will destoy their little cabal.

Finally!

I grew up in Texas. Living in the outskirts of a major city, away in the country, you saw UFO's on a regular basis.

[hockeynut]

people who are not willing to think that there might not be some other kinda life out there are just well ignorant as far as i'm concerned i've never seen one but i do believe there's somethng out there and i wish are governments would come clean with use this is bigger then anything ,any issue i believe just imagine if there was aliens and they where a piecefully spieces inlike us lol

by the way i just did smoke a joint lol

Not covered very well in the MSM but there has been a very large UFO spotted by many folks near Stephenville, Texas (somewhat near Crawford, btw) it has been reported to be a mile long and a half a mile wide.

Since it was near Crawford, any attempts to find intelligent life on Earth surely failed. lol

If we did more with science in 21st century, could we maybe be BUILDING UFO's instead of speculating about them? Of course, then they'd be IFO's....

Question: How do you make gravity NOT suck?

the ultimate in arrogance is to think we are alone in the universe.

but then we are ameicans the ultimate in arrogance.

every notice most americans think everything american is best in the world.

read 2007 consumer reports on car and truck realiability scores and see how well american cars and trucks rate against asian cars and trucks. sad very sad.

how well does our educational system rate against asian countries? sad very sad.

how well does our military spending rate against the rest of the world. there we are number one. this is called imperialism and war mongering. at least we are best at something.
killing and occupying other countries.

does canada have oil? they should be easy to overthrow I mean guys in red suits riding on horses. easy to spot and kill not like those iraqis hiding in homes.

Maybe they BELIEVE in aliens because they ARE aliens. Wouldn't that explain a lot?

[Lincoln2wells]

UFO's are not something one "believes in" or not, no more than germs were during Pasteur's time. Obviously, a genuine phenomenon exists; there is simply too much evidence that cannot be explained away. One can offer theories or admit to being baffled, but simply to deny the phenomema with a snicker is pretty foolish science, don't you think?

More amazing that some people are still in denial.
