You know what's fantastically hilarious? Half that UFO nonsense came about because the US government wanted to cover up research during the Cold War. And it was brilliant.
A couple of hicks saw a silver object in the sky. It eventually crashed. The government swooped in, collected the debris and took it away, denying everything and leading people to draw every conclusion but the real one.
The Roswell crash really was just a balloon. Not a weather balloon as the government claimed, but an experimental spy balloon designed to float high in the atmosphere where strong winds would yank it back and forth erratically. A camera was suspended beneath it for recon.
God, so atrocious in the Old Testament, so attractive in the New--the Jekyl and Hyde of sacred romance.
-Mark Twain
If people are good only because they fear punishment and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.
