the coming holy war. Ya know the video tape of the 11 objects flying in formation in Mexican air space. No, well some folks from the Mexican airforce(there is one?) taped these objects during a routine mission.

My guess is that we rarely see alien space ships because they don't really need to visit us in person anymore with all our data flying through the air via satellite, microwave and the like. The ships caught on tape were the aliens gathering up there materials and skipping town before the big holy push. Oh wait, i think thats from Men in Black. Nevermind.

Testing secret aircraft. Here in the UK we used to have loads of UFO sightings in Wiltshire. Turned out they had an experimental airbase there.

If you're going to have a secret airbase, where the hell do you hide it? Simple; inside a normal airbase. Only you don't tell everyone in the normal part what's going on, cos it's secret.

If you want to find aliens around Mexico, you need to get closer to the border (just a pun, no offence to Mexicans intended)

None taken but if you have seen the day after tommorow you'll know who the real aliens are :P

John, that excuse of secret aircraft has been around for decades. However, not one of the aircraft that's come from a secret airbase even resembles a UFO.

Except for a few UAV's and the stealth bomber.

Since alien life has never been officially proven, then how would anyone know what an actual space craft is supposed to look like?

Well, we have seen movies (not saying those spacecraft are what they look like) and most of them have the general saucer shape or rounded edges or whatnot. Take a look at the stealth bomber or the SR-71 and if you have never seen it before and never knew we had anything like it, it looks generally like a spacecraft.

This is just our interperetation of what something would look like. We don't really know what Aliens look like but we make our own. Big head, bug eyes and kinda short and lanky. Or we could go with the Predator/Alien/Species style alien and make him look really weird and messed up.

There could be different looking aliens, there are different looking humans after all.

All the objects in Mexico were debunked as ball lightning, it was in the news.

Ball lighting is the new swamp gas/weather balloon malarky that every government uses these days. Once we further study ball lighting and figure out everything about it. They'll have to come up with some new catchall explanation for all the weird things that people see.

Very solid point.

Wait, I want to flee too!

Sargeman

IF aliens did/do exist why do we have to even generalize that they need to fly through space in some solid ship with lights on it.

Why can't they just float through space in some shapeless or everchanging gel/jelly type thing blob? And why do they need cool lights that are visible to everyone?

wait? what? i saw that movie, but i fell asleep with my hand halfway down my girlfriend's pants because it was so fake and pointless (in my humble opinion)

what did it have to do with aliens?

Us evil human monsters did not evolve from materials from the Earth, we were planted billions of years ago by cosmic dust blown from an explosion in a galaxy far far away. Now we are raviging the planet for it's natural resources and killing it in the process.

A couple years ago I saw a show, I think it was called "Chariots of the Gods" and flipped through a book of the same name. I think that the space-ships that are described in that book in ancient times probably looked as though they belonged. I think that today, older space ships would look funny, but that real space ships could easily look like an airplane without attracting attention. -Yes?
