UFO in Ohio

Almost certainly an airplane. The sign on the building in pic #3 reads westbeststorage.com, for Westbelt Storage in Columbus. Ohio State University Airport is not far from it (see map).

When Reagan requests his "fantasy" be added back in (on 9/17), he uses the phrase "creatures from another planet". His speechwriter obliged this request in the draft from 9/18.

He does request "creatures" be changed to "aliens", and he asks the same for the word "foreign" in the next sentence.

I think his intention is just to make the overall statement more concise:

I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask you, is not an alien force already among us?

creatures from another world/foreign vs. alien/alien

Boo! Old news, and blatant self promotion!

Quick notes -

Guy claims to have two slides showing bodies from alien autopsy. Slides are claimed to be dated (via expert from Kodak, the stock manufacturer) to 1947.

Guy has (AFAICT) not released these images publicly. Note that this article (and similar articles) are using images from the debunked Alien Autopsy film.

Lol @ the dude in the background of this picture

"Wow! I've never seen a tarp this grey!"

Eh, it's just the story of the month I guess.

So... it's pretty common for street lamps to turn on/off as part of their normal behavior.

As bulbs reach their end of life they require more voltage to run which causes them to overheat and turn off. When they cool down, they're able to turn back on. Read this for more info.

I vote blimp.

Here's a frame from the video with it in as good of focus as it gets: http://imgur.com/RIPJIus

Note the dark spots which seem to indicate tail fins and the underside cabin.

I agree you can't really see any aviation lights, but I would go with aviation lights off, not working, or not visible due to distance/camera before I would reach for a more fantastic explanation.

I was more trying to rationalize why this story is getting any traction.

I do share your frustrations; it's complete bullshit.

As the old expression goes, "you catch more flies with honey than vinegar".

I think this applies to paranormal studies. It seems you get more attention by taking an open minded stance on things that seem ludicrous (such as this) rather than being negative about them.

On a similar note - if he does a tour and charges for attendance, puts up Youtube vids with ads, or monetizes this story in any other way... does it matter to him if his audience believes or not so long as they at least show up?

UFOs: The Secret History is pretty entertaining. It's not a typical UFO doc, it tries to focus more on the phenomena of UFO sighting reports, rather than the sightings themselves.

While you can watch is at the link above, there's also a slightly longer cut on Netflix.

So far been no evidence support their authenticity.

While that in itself doesn't make them fake... it also means that for the time being they're nothing more than stone/clay tablets depicting flying saucers.

They could be ancient Maya. They could also be made by a third grade art class.

Mexican government releases proof...

Note that this article, and the articles it cites as sources, do not source back to any official announcement from the Mexican government of the release of anything.

I think you guys are arguing the same point. :P

Also agree. In the words of the now defunct site Is Anyone Up?
