UFO spotted in China

Oh goody . . . another opportunity to post my annoying response to UFO claims.

I have not the least doubt that people see, or think they see, objects, or what they think are objects, which are flying, or which they think are flying, which they are then and subsequently unable to identify.

Poof. It appears it was a military operation.

It's a coverup! It's a vast military conspiracy!

Who knows? In my university English speech I chose UFOs as my topic. I guess a lot of the kids were probably laughing inside. They put up with me.

It resembled what has been seen here over the southwest. Is China working on the same military item as the US? Or, are we in on something together?

Nah . . . they're probably stealin' it from us.

I dunno. The red LED's appeared to say 'made in China.' Picture was a bit fuzzy, though, so don't hold me to that.

Earthlings are such fools. Give us all your tofu and we will spare your miserable class 3 planet.

My friend Ulob from mars says that China and the USA are way behind them in spacecraft testing.

Take our tofu. Pleeease!

Well, leave the big chunks stuffed with lap cheong and fried nice and crisp. Get rid of all the soy **** otherwise, and while you're at it, biophysicalpoop corn.

(I'm not entirely against genetic modification as a concept. I'm screaming Mimi !! at it in practice that I've read about.)

Guys, what you saw was a weatherbaloon!

Biophysicalpoop corn?

You shouldn't be eating that anyway, Osso. That's what I use for the cat box.

Yeah, yeah. That's what they said at Roswell, NM, too.

Actually, that baloon came from Operation Mogul, which was attempting to test the Soviet defensive radar array. So, the U.S.A.A.F. tried to cover up the incident, which has since made a hell of a lot of money for conspiracy theory authors.

Not only conspiracy nuts. A large portion of the Roswell economy dpends on the tourism generated by the whole brouhaha. There's a 'UFO Museum and Research Center' located in what used to be a movie theater right on Main St. in downtown Roswell. Ain't got much else to see there exceptin' a large mozarella cheese plant and the campus of Eastern New Mexico University at Roswell (ENMUR).

I find it interesting that a local newspaper, in a slow news period, published an article about a "flying saucer" being found. It got a little play as a silly season item, but then it died down. The U.S.A.A.F. rushed in with denials, and, of course, they were trying to hide Operation Mogul. It was all soon forgotten.

Then, 30 years later, one of these scam artists who makes his living with conspiracy stories stumbled across the story, and published a book in 1978. After 30 years of silence, people in Roswell suddenly began to retail dark stories of government agents and unexplained events. And you bet, it's great money for Roswell. Kind of like the people in and around Salisbury who make a good living off the goofs who come to Stonehenge.

I got suckered with the alien autopsy. I bought the dvd.

The USAAF, in efect, planted the UFO story by denying it. It was one of the cleverest cover-ups in history . . . up to that time, that is.
