The truth is out there, but what is the truth?
So, the MoD has finally decided to release files on UFOs spotted in the skies over Britain. This is quite exciting as it's an area of such contention: are we foolish to consider it possible that aliens exist and are visiting us? Is it foolish not to?

Personally I find it remarkable that people think we're the only thing in the universe worth talking to. Of course the universe is a pretty big place, and if we were to set off from earth we'd need the lifetimes of many generations of people to get to anywhere out of reach of what we already know. So, people argue, because there's all this space and seemingly nothing in it, then that's it - we're alone. But, of course if there were 'beings' on other planets they wouldn't resemble us much, they wouldn't speak in languages that we'd understand, and they would consequently have had completely different histories, which means that whatever they may have created to fly are very different to what we have. Some say that because there are so few sightings that UFOs can come and go from other dimensions - they are there, and then they are not, which is rather chilling.
A story: a Czech friend of mine was walking to a bus stop with her mother one very early morning to go back to Prague. Heading to this deserted crossroads they both felt a presence and the desire to look round. And what they saw, a hundred metres away, was a classic spinning flying saucer though with the bubble part underneath. They froze before the approaching bus alerted the saucer and it flew off in a matter of miliseconds. People on the bus saw it, and the story sounds plausible. Even more plausible when I found out that there was an electricity generating plant near the village: it had come to view our power sources. I've asked her several times and she always tells me that the story is completely genuine, that she saw it up close, then it flashed and disappeared. That recalled for me a video on YouTube a while back of a UFO sighting in Nanjing, China, where the UFO sits there, then flashes lights and zooms off. It is the creepiest 20 seconds I've ever seen.
So, ultimately, getting access to what people have seen and said is a positive move, as this, if it were real, would concern us all, not just politicians. of course politicians may argue that that would cause panic, which it no doubt would, but the truth will out anyway, so let's have it, then we'll make the choice whether to panic or not.
