Another attempt to explain UFO's - badly

Over the years I have heard many things about UFO’s. I have heard they are impossible, imaginary, absolutely mathematically probable, a fact, and logical. I have listened to the Government, and others around the world, deny the existence of anything beyond Earth and also admit that there are events beyond explanation.

But of all the things I have heard to deny the existence of UFO’s the worst has to be the latest answer, Natural Explanation Found for UFOs. This has to be the least honest excuse I can recall being stated in my lifetime.

Now while that is a cool effect of nature, does it seem otherworldly to anyone? Does it seem to be moving anywhere? And when I say moving I mean laterally, or in intricate turns, for extended periods of time. Lightning, even ball lightning or sprites do not do that. Better yet, how about remaining completely stationary, 500 feet above Phoenix, without a lightning storm?



10,000 people are sure they did not see flares or sprites or any man-made phenomenon. From dozens of angles and video cameras and people of all walks of life came a clear statement that cannot be adequately explained.

Can there be a natural explanation? Possibly, though modern science is nowhere near having that answer. Least of all the existence of sprites. It is even a bit insulting for any scientific group to claim they have an answer.

If the universe is only half as big and half as old as science believes, that leaves billions of solar systems with as many planets in the universe existing for longer than the history of the Earth. For anyone to claim that in billions of billions the only form of intelligent life, or life at all, resides on our planet alone is the ultimate in arrogance. It is mathematically improbable, logically a lie, and considering the abundance of events that cannot be explained dumb.

Sprites might explain some questionable events over the years. But it is in no way an answer, nor definite. Still I’d expect the Government to explain what happened to JFK sooner than admit even 1 UFO in recorded history.
