(AP) -- The men were air traffic controllers. Experienced, calm professionals. Nobody was drinking. But they were so worried about losing their jobs that they demanded their names be kept off the official report.

So, I wonder if there is anyone out there who still disbelieves in ufo's. Id like to hear from one, because everyone I know either believes or leaves the question wide open.

Well count me as a disbeliever - not an ounce/gram of proof - more evidence to support Christian myths. Eye witness accounts by booze addled Brits does not fill me with same confidence as the red neck jugheads and their stories from the swamps of Florida. Get a job guys.
