 >LL>Back in the 1970's, around the time two fellows got abducted by
 >LL>space aliens in Pascagoula, Mississippi, I scared the living
 >LL>daylights out of the local folk by pointing out "spaceships"
 >LL>visiting Earth.  It was during the fall, when the weather changes.
 >LL>The location was a church fair, being held at night. After sunset,
 >LL>when it was dark, one could look at the stars and notice some of the
 >LL>stars beginning to move slowly across the sky, then suddenly move
 >LL>very fast in a different direction. Those stars looked a bit
 >LL>different from other stars, being that the moving stars twinkled in
 >LL>different colors.
 
 >LL>By spreading a rumor that those stars were "spaceships", I
 >LL>convinced lots of people that Earth was being invaded by beings from
 >LL>outer space. People fled the scene in panic, leaving the church
 >LL>grounds empty on a Saturday night.
 
 >LL>To explain what happened - it was swamp gas rising, thus creating
 >LL>a "bubble", which made some stars appear to twinkle and move slowly
 >LL>for a while, and then quickly across the sky.
 
 JH>I was just going to say, it sounds like swamp gas or something similar.
 JH>However, your fun notwithstanding, I do believe we have been visited by
UFO'
 JH>There is a hard core of sighting data, some 15%, that has always defied
 JH>explanation any other way.  There are entirely too many reputable people
who
 JH>are trained observers in various fields who have reported sightings for
ther
 JH>not to be something to it.  I hope I live long enough to find out the
answer

 LL> Jimmy Carter reported seeing a UFO while in Georgia.  Ronald Reagan
 LL> believed in the existence of UFOs.  And Gerald Ford ordered a study on
 LL> UFOs.  Bill Clinton is rumored to have also ordered such a study.

 LL> The best evidence we have for the existence of UFOs is the Moon.
 LL> Two Russian scientists, using data from NASA, presented a theory that
 LL> the Moon is a spaceship that was driven here by beings from far away.
 LL> Their theory has never been disproven to this day.

 LL> On an interesting note, the plaque put on the Moon by astronauts
 LL> Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin reads -

 LL> HERE MEN FROM THE PLANET EARTH FIRST SET FOOT UPON THE MOON,
 LL> JULY 1969, A.D.  WE CAME IN PEACE FOR ALL MANKIND.

 LL> However, the claim of the Moon for all mankind did not stop a certain
 LL> private company from selling tracts of land on the Moon.  For less
 LL> than thirty bucks you can own a piece of the Moon.  That's right.  At
 LL> least, according to this web site - http://www.lunarlandrush.com

 LL> Of course, getting there could be a bit of a problem...
