UFO QUOTES
quotations about UFOs
It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.

The Mars rover Curiosity has sent back images of some odd things on the surface of Mars, and some people think they could be UFOs. Here's my question. If we're on the surface of Mars, aren't we the UFO?

Some of these sightings are real, some are fake and with others it's unclear. All these phenomena are worth researching.

Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

If UFOs are demonic, to fail to identify them accurately may have far reaching consequences at both the individual and social levels.

The Facts on UFOs
There are two types of UFOs -- the ones we build and the ones "they" build.

If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans.... We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn't want to meet.
STEPHEN HAWKING
Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking
If the reports of sudden changes of direction are taken at face value then the UFOs, assuming they carry living passengers, must somehow have total control of inertia. Even if UFOs are only instrumental probes this would also likely have to be true, or they would have to be made of materials unknown to human science, because the internal stresses they undergo would destroy known materials and alloys.

The Science of UFOs
MULDER: Well, as I said, there is no scientific explanation, but there are those of us that believe that these multicolored lights are really...
SCULLY: UFOs. Extra-terrestrial visitors from beyond who apparently have nothing better to do than buzz one mountain for 700 years.
MULDER: It sounds like crap when you say it.

How would it be if we discovered that aliens only stopped by earth to let their kids take a leak?

I am discounting reports of UFOs. Why would they appear only to cranks and weirdos?

TED talk, "Asking big questions about the universe"
What's really fascinating is how the trends of what people see have changed over time. A century ago, the vast majority of UFOs were spheres or cigar shaped. But then saucers showed up in the 20s, and that's all anyone saw. Cigars have dropped down to almost nothing, while lights in the sky have grown in prominence to become almost 50% of the UFOs that people see these days. Clearly spaceship design took a turn away from cigars, to saucers to glowing lights. Oh, fickle alien spacecraft designers, following the latest fashions.

"Do I Believe in UFOs?", Universe Today, April 18, 2017
As with many inexplicable events, UFOs were initially treated as an important topic of scientific inquiry. The public wondered what was going on; scientists studied the issue and then 'demystified' the topic.

No unidentified objects in the popular sense have been seen from the International Space Station. Reflections from station windows, the spacecraft structure itself or lights from Earth commonly appear as artifacts in photos and videos from the orbiting laboratory.

official statement, "NASA Says Claims Of UFOs Near Space Station Are A Bunch Of Space Garbage", Huffington Post, March 24, 2017
The world into which UFOs had appeared was one of under-the-desk siren drills against nuclear annihilation. Society had made a new myth, a communal idea of something outside a species apparently intent on dooming itself.

Anything that exists must be possible. The UFOs are here, so interstellar travel must be possible.
CHRISTOPHER HUMPHRIES
UFOs, Psi, and Spiritual Evolution
Whether we ever get to know about them or not, there are very probably alien civilizations that are superhuman, to the point of being god-like in ways that exceed anything a theologian could possibly imagine. Their technical achievements would seem as supernatural to us as ours would seem to a Dark Age peasant transported to the twenty-first century. Imagine his response to a laptop computer, a mobile telephone, a hydrogen bomb or a jumbo jet.

If you want to be sure of unusual thing such as aliens or UFOs, then you have to think about it from an unusual way of thinking.

My Ancestor Was an Ancient Astronaut
I highly doubt DoD or any other government agency is concealing UFO information. I participated in a comprehensive review of DoD's black programs and spent over a decade conducting oversight of the national foreign intelligence program, an almost totally separate world of secrets. I visited Area 51 and other military, intelligence and research facilities. During all those years, I never detected the faintest hint of government interest or involvement in UFOs.

The energy requirements for interstellar travel are so great that it is inconceivable to me that any creatures piloting their ships across the vast depths of space would do so only in order to play games with us over a period of decades. If they want to make contact, they would make contact; if not, they would save their energy and go elsewhere.
