Lactose Intolerant people are the only humans left unmodified by the space cows. Count yourself lucky, for when the cows come for us, you will be spared from slave labour on the farming asteroids.

The trouble with UFO's is that there is only stories and blury pictures. The facts cannot be evaluated. You could say there is no hard evidence, but if there was, the government or another agency grabbing it is entirely beleivable. So, we are left with stories and crop circles. Never having seen any of the latter except in pictures, I can't comment. Sure, some of those could be pranks. And then, there is the stories of crop circles where the crops have been bent, not broken, as would happen if someone walked accross them. As I said, have not seen any except in pictures.

Do note, crop circles have also been around for centuries
http://www.alien-ufos.com/cropcirclesinformation.shtml


And UFOs have been reported before man developed flight

its even been said that UFOs have been seen just before some of mans prolific battles

Crop circles were totally debunked many years ago. It was a couple of guys pulling pranks at night in rural england for kicks. I'll dig up some links later...

Well, guys pulling a prank is the simplest and also the most likely explaination for crop circles... [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon27.gif[/img]

Yes there were. As a matter of fact, there were a few crop circles in a town about 30 km from where I live a few years ago. In some grain fields in the town of Vanderhoof, British Columbia, Canada, crop circles very similar in form to the British ones were discovered. You can't convince me that a few pranksters from Britain travelled 4000 miles to western Canada just to create a few crop circles. Then again, maybe someone else figured out how to make them, who really knows?

I find it hard to believe someone knew how to do that back in 1678

Nowadays, quite easily to be done seeing as how we think has vastly changed since then

Anyhow, heres something that I know many people dont discuss
These "UFOs" are always thought to be of another world, with the government saying its from our world
But wot if the government is right? But they are just not from our time (remember the fact that some UFOs have been sighted in famous times)

They had rope and sticks back then. All you'd need was someone with a little bit of time on their hands to think up the idea. People are people and have always pulled pranks on each other. Of course back then people pulled pranks and the masses blamed it on evil spirits, or leprechauns. It must be UFO's, because we are all much too rational to believe in evil spirits or leprechauns anymore.
