More UFO's in the news!!!

 Back in August, I posted a blog post about UFO's because it was all over the news.  It seemed that no matter where you looked, you would come across some coverage of UFO's.  Here is the link to that post to check it out because in it I gave some historical information about this whole situation: What Do You Think about UFO's?

Since that post, there has been a flurry of activity about these unidentified objects with numerous accounts of seeing them everywhere.  So, today, I thought I would round up what I could find about this topic and post all the links here in case you or someone you know would like to check them out.

I am still on the fence on this one.  I can see why we should think there is life elsewhere due to the sheer size of the universe.  It just seems likely that in all those planets, stars, etc. there may possibly be intelligent life.  To disbelieve it seems a bit self-inflated and egotistical.  What? We are the only intellingent life every created in all the vastness of space?  Really?

That said, I also can see the other side.  Where is the proof? Why, if there is such a thing do we not have any information about it? How can we believe if we cannot see, feel, hear, touch or taste it? The science major in me sees this point of view quite clearly; but in this instance, I'm not sure that stance actually helps us out much.

There are things in this world and I assume in the Universe that defy our logic and science. People who believe in God, Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, and all the other spiritual souls really have no concrete proof that they even existed, yet they are devout believers and would die for this belief.

Okay, off my soapbox.  Here is the round-up of the news that I found:
