I heard a news brief on NPR this week that caught my imagination (link includes audio of the story NPR aired).
"UFO Sightings Stream In from Texas Townsfolk"
Dozens of a small towns residents saw a large (bigger than a Walmart) object hovering overhead. The locals seem pretty calm about it all - no reports of abductions! - and the federal government is doing its best to spread the word that it was a natural occurance, such as light playing off an airplane flying by, or reflecting into clouds.
People around the world have chimed in with their theories, some curious and some openly mocking. The Washington Post ran an unscientific poll asking if people believed it was truly a UFO - so far, 60% vote yes.
I'm curious. I believe they saw something - too many reports with matching descriptions of size, speed, and sound. But was it a UFO?
Why not? I don't think we're alone. If we're looking for them, why shouldn't they be looking for us? My biggest question is what will happen when they say hello.
What do you think? Were we visited this week in Stephenville? What is going to happen when that contact is made?

While I do believe we are not alone, chances are better the "funny" lights might belong to our airforce.
The USAF is renowned for misinformation. For ages, they denied any knowledge of the F 117, Stealth Fighter, even though plenty of people had seen it (often mistaking it for a UFO) while the air force was testing that puppy.
I hope it is aliens. I'd like to know what they find so fascinating about us. :o)
My brother in Fort Worth said they took the aliens to visit the stockyards, and they were unimpressed....

I love the way they describe the size as "bigger than a Wal-Mart." That really is priceless. It's like describing car trunk size here in New Jersey, we refer to how many bodies can fit in it. "That trunk coulda fit 4 bodies, it was so big!"
All kidding aside, I do believe there is intelligent life out there. The odds in this planet being the only one to evolve in the universe is statistically improbable if all of space is considered. (Please note I said universe and not galaxy.)
