Ok, so here is a hypothetical.
Young Sam, who is into ornithology, happens to be walking through a forest. He hears an unusual bird call. Looking up he is amazes to see a Greater Stripped Grub Gobbler.
Wow, thinks Sam, These are usually only found in Caracas. And here is one in Utah. Must tell the guys'.
So he goes on the web, tells his fellow bird watchers about it. No one believes him. But within a week the forest is crawling with people carrying binoculars. Someone else gets a glimpse of the bird and next thing the local college has set up a base camp and is holding 24 hour watches to find out if it is really true.
But if Sam saw a ufo, nothing would happen.
Yet the appearance of a real unmistakable ufo is surely of greater importance to the Nation than a bird.
So here is my question.
Why are there no overarching attempts to track down ufo ? And you have to admit it, there isn't really anything. People submit their sighting reports to organisations like MUFON, and these reports later emerge in a monthly magazine or on the web. And, as far as can be ascertained, that is it.
Why isn't there a corps of 'observers' out there in the areas where ufo reports are most prevalent. People paid to just stay there for, a week at a time, in shifts covering 24 hours, just waiting. Using the best technology they can be provided with to record anything that comes along. Every week a new crew should take over so that the watchers don't get jaded.
But it doesn't happen. Something hits the news for a few days (Stevensville) and then just disappears.
Yet surely the apparent appearance of an object the size of a football field should merit more official attention.
Think about it, next to Jesus suddenly appearing on the Senate floor, what could be of more existential importance than following up reported appearance of vehicles from some place else.
I could never work out why there is this total apathy.
Your views.
