  You know, in response to the video link above, A few years back using Google earth i noticed a strange object that appeared to be flying over some houses. It almost matches the descriptions of those in the video.

  Occams razor would settle on an unacknowledged military experimental craft before any interstellar explorers unwilling to make formal contact.

  Of course they throw in comments from the nutjob lady! just to make sure nobody takes it too seriously. Well, anyone whos seen something in the sky wont have any problems with that!. I guess I should just be glad these things are finally getting some real public consideration.

  I simply echo the thoughts in the post above. Indeed there was no real reason to include the comments from the "nut job" except to ridicule. Very silly really to have considered it. Counterproductive as people are now beginning to take some of the newly released information more seriously: and so they should.

  Well the US military jsut had several hundred shots on Goolge earth replaced because they showed "strategic initiative defense measures" on camera. A lot of those pictures were taken in the late 80's early nineties and not changed because the areas were rather remote.
  
  I'd chaulk it up to the Aurora.

  give us a break - this is NOT science - this is like giving a defib to every Billy Bob looking for profile - next you will add credence to their wacko cousins in the 911 Troother movement. Stick to science not the X- files!
