British Government Releases 200 Reports of UFO 'Sightings'
by Will Safer, posted May 14th 2008 at 1:44PM

Flying saucers? Alien encounters? It may sound cliché to seriously consider visits from little green men descending from saucer-shaped spacecraft, but the British government is releasing first-person accounts from people who have claimed to see unidentified flying objects.

Among these encounters are indeed alleged visits from space dudes in green.

A spokesman for the National Archives says the government is releasing the documents in response to several Freedom of Information Act requests. About 200 files will be made available to the public during the next four years as part of an effort by the Ministry of Defence to show it is "open and transparent."

Among the first files released there are accounts of alleged sightings over the River Thames, reports by patrons at a pub who saw lights in the sky near Gatwick Airport (what were they drinking, we want to know), and even a sighting by two U.S. Air Force policemen who claimed to see unusual lights near a Royal Air Force location.

Perhaps the best of the batch is an account by a 78-year-old man who says he met an alien in 1983. After spending some time on board a UFO he was asked questions by the alleged aliens. In the end, they told him to disembark with a somewhat condescending statement: "You are too old and too infirm for our purpose."

The lesson here? If you're hoping for a more successful alien encounter, perhaps it's time to start your fitness regimen now.

Vatican Says It's OK to Believe in Aliens

The Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, the Jesuit director of the Vatican Observatory, was quoted as saying the vastness of the universe means it is possible there could be other forms of life outside Earth, even intelligent ones.

"How can we rule out that life may have developed elsewhere?" Funes said. "Just as we consider earthly creatures as 'a brother,' and 'sister,' why should we not talk about an 'extraterrestrial brother'? It would still be part of creation."

In the interview by the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, Funes said that such a notion "doesn't contradict our faith" because aliens would still be God's creatures. Ruling out the existence of aliens would be like "putting limits" on God's creative freedom, he said.

The interview, headlined "The extraterrestrial is my brother," covered a variety of topics including the relationship between the Roman Catholic Church and science, and the theological implications of the existence of alien life.

Funes said science, especially astronomy, does not contradict religion, touching on a theme of Pope Benedict XVI, who has made exploring the relationship between faith and reason a key aspect of his papacy.

The Bible "is not a science book," Funes said, adding that he believes the Big Bang theory is the most "reasonable" explanation for the creation of the universe. The theory says the universe began billions of years ago in the explosion of a single, super-dense point that contained all matter.

But he said he continues to believe that "God is the creator of the universe and that we are not the result of chance."

Funes urged the church and the scientific community to leave behind divisions caused by Galileo's persecution 400 years ago, saying the incident has "caused wounds."

In 1633 the astronomer was tried as a heretic and forced to recant his theory that the Earth revolved around the sun. Church teaching at the time placed Earth at the center of the universe.

"The church has somehow recognized its mistakes," he said. "Maybe it could have done it better, but now it's time to heal those wounds and this can be done through calm dialogue and collaboration."

Pope John Paul II declared in 1992 that the ruling against Galileo was an error resulting from "tragic mutual incomprehension."

The Vatican Observatory has been at the forefront of efforts to bridge the gap between religion and science. Its scientist-clerics have generated top-notch research and its meteorite collection is considered one of the world's best.

The observatory, founded by Pope Leo XIII in 1891, is based in Castel Gandolfo, a lakeside town in the hills outside Rome where the pope has a summer residence. It also conducts research at an observatory at the University of Arizona, in Tucson.

the thing that gets me is why they need to be so secret and why we can't pick them up as they travel throughout the universe?  did they know to create stealth too?  perhaps their technology is so advanced we can't understand it.  i can't figure out which is more ridiculous, converting to zero sum gain communism, or believing that aliens don't have weapons. perhaps we could negotiate with them to take our excess carbon and methane etc.  they could take the populists and the religion of stateism with them too, but they won't because that would be suicide.  imagine, taxing aliens.

Red have you outed me? :p :D ;) So much for trying to stay under the radar (that's how we do it Knabe). Now according to Cowz I've reached celebrity status. The guys down at the lodge (Free Aliens Request Certification Endeavor) will never let me live this down. I will probably have to go to AA (Aliens Anonymous)meetings. You know: Hi my name is SD and I'm alien. I come in peace, take me to your leader and all that stuff. It will be like going back to alien abduction academy all over.

Knabe you earthlings can keep the statism. We tried it and it almost ruined our civilization. Why do you think Ronald Reagan was said to have alztimers? We had to take his brain and put it in our presidents so we could save ourselves. Bad thing was when we went to give RR our leaders brain, some how the crew (not the longest tentacles in the family) ended up putting it in Hillary Clinton.

Oh man, the missing calf thing! Darned nephew he just doesn't have any patients. And yes we do experiments on them. Like which steak sauce or different side dishes. Personally, I like slow roasted bovine back strap with vampire repellent mashed spuds. :-*

And my favorite dessert is cookies and cow juice. :eek:

If the meeting would be so popular you'd be there Red, I would fire up the old spinning disk just to see everyone.

Just FYI Red, it's actually a blueish grey color. You know the helmet doesn't let in much oxygen. ;D

If it would make you guys feel better, we could pass the hat and rent a van to take us all to Boulder for our get together.  Maybe we could have a "harmonic convergence"?  Yikes?  Maybe we could solve the cattle mutilation mystery?
