    One of the problems is that people associate "UFO" with "Alien spaceship".

    UFO = Unidentified Flying Object. Something in the sky, which you don't recognise. That's all.

    Sometimes it's worth re-emphasizing the obvious. And I'm the man for that

    A British airman, as was.

    I hope not, because that film was made in a barn in a farm in the English countryside with a wig-holder head and chicken guts, and the farmer standing in for President Eisenhower.
    Link?
    Wonder if it's on You Tube?

    What the US government says it that it is not aware of any persuasive evidence that earth has been visited by aliens; that the Roswell incident was caused by a weather balloon (though most now take the view that it was probably a high altitude cold-war spying balloon - the U2 did not come into service for another 8 years or so) and that there are no secret files on UFO reports and sightings.
    Well the US have always been very open and truthful.
    I've seen UFOs on many occasions - always at night. I have no reason to believe they were anything other than planes I couldn't identify or something like that.
    Be careful going out at night, you may be attracting something.

    I've never seen a UFO.

    Re: Conspiracy theories

    The above link doesn't work.

    Type into google "Roswell aliens".

    It will give you a link for the autopsy film.

    Re: Obama still gives me the creeps

    OK, so we another one to add to the list:

    • The USA has indeed engaged in torture under the Bush administration
    • Man-made climate change is real and significant
    • Smoking causes cancer
    • The MMR vaccine does not cause autism


    These are not areas where it's acceptable to have an "open mind", if you don't accept these then you're either not well-informed, or irrational.
    • UFOs / Alien abductions / Roswell


    Note: I've not included the JFK assassination attempt, mainly because, well, it was weird - there are still some unanswered questions I think, and it was clearly an unexpected event. To my mind, something only falls in the nutty-conspiracy area if there's an obvious and well-founded alternative, which some people then refuse to accept.

    For example, it's not exactly shocking that a car crashes when travelling at 100MPH through the middle of Paris, and when being driven by a guy who was under the influence of alcohol. It's also not shocking that if the passengers don't have seat belts, they die.

    However, I'm willing to accept that I may be wrong with the JFK thing - should we add that to the list?

    Where's the conspiracy? Plain fact, surely?

    Nah, I reckon you need two hands to fire a rifle.

    U reckon wrong. To shoot a rifle accurately, however... That would probably need two hands.

    You mean there was a 2nd shooter or LHO was working in collaboration with someone?

    I'm still confused - what exactly is the Cold War conspiracy?

    That the Cold War was a hoax perpetuated by the USA and the USSR to divide and rule the planet.

    Now, I'm not convinced of this.

    Googling it, I got this:

    global bankers planned the confrontation of the West and East during the cold war to increase profits due to government loans spent on defense and armaments, and a way of infiltrating Russia with their own pawns subservient to their agenda during the Bolshevik revolution
    Coz we all know how cunning these Global Bankers are...

    Is that the one?
