Okay, haven't read the book Alien Contact, so I can't comment. I do want to read Flying Saucers by Jung however.
Anyway. Here's the funny thing. People think UFO sightings and Alien malarky is rare.
It isn't.
It happens all the damn fucking time.
Two million Americans have reported being abducted, UFO reports get called in all the time, it's all over the shop.
On Mexican news, mass UFO formations are shown on the news all the time.
It isn't rare. It happens all the time. Which makes the whole issue frightening as hell really in many sense.

New thread has the same errant apostrophe in its title as the old one.
...Fuck off. I meant to do that. It's....uh...to confuse search engines!
Fuck yeah!
phew
Saved from the admission of my atrocious English skills by an implausible excuse, my favourite kind.
well played BADALEX
I want proof of alien life. Right now.
Yeah, I thought so.
Now back to the Aliens.
funny how these aliens are obsessed with the good ole' usa? why don't we hear similarly large numbers of people being abducted from europe, china, australia?
they only seem to target Americans..funny that. i'd safely say you could discount 95% of those sightings due to the rednecks that phone them in...
having said that, a lot of them seem valid
haha rufus...beat me to it.
Alien Contact is well worth reading BA. It's by Timothy Good who also wrote Above Top Secret: The Worldwide UFO coverup. Although Alien Contact is mostly anecdotal it is still well researched. The best sections of the book deal with Area 51 (Bob Lazar's testimony on the goings-on in Area 51 are fascinating) and the chapter on cattle mutilation (what the hell is going on there?)
Rufus- Incorrect as you so usually are. One, Russia and China have both had mass reports. Two. America is kind of the most industrial nation on the earth that puts out the most hightech signals and bullshit, so it really isn't that fucking surprising.
loveparade- Fair point, but then you take into account all of those that probably DIDN'T report it for fear of seeming like crackpots.
djbollocks- Oh, the cattle mutilation thing is almost certainly C.I.A. malarky bullshit dressed up to look like UFOs. Plenty of reports by cattle ranchers that saw the shit and instead of running away some of them went ''Wait a minute...that's a fucking helicopter tricked out to look weird.''
That's what messes the issue up. Things like the Haunebu and Silverbug projects amongst other things.
So sure, UFOs are there, and then there's the secret military aircraft bullshit fucking about.
Badalex, I want unconditional proof that aliens have visited earth. RIGHT NOW.
Did you finish all your vegetables at dinner last night?
No.
That's why you can't have nice things or proof of alien existence.
I fucking did. I ate them all.
Bullshit. Don't lie to me. And finish your crusts, then maybe we'll see about aliens.
You ain't got no proof! All you have is hypothesis! I knew it!
I read Communion in the 90s
Watched the X-Files back then too
Sure, alien hysteria reached fever-pitch in that decade, then 9/11 happened and everyone didn't give a shit anymore
But just like his love of psytrance, BA never left the 90s
Here's your proof fishandfingerpie.
fishandfingerpie- Is that what you did with your parents ''Hah! You didn't buy me any Christmas presents! That's why you won't show me any on the night before christmas! I knew it!''
Dude. Go do your own research and make up your own mind.
ruface- Er...big spike in UFO whatnot in 2008 actually faceache.
are there aliens in uranus?
The footage of the UFO fleet in Guadalajara Mexico, seen by thousands of people in 04 I think, that is pretty amazing stuff.

Alien vs Pooh
There was a UFO ''sighting'' on the Gold Coast back in February thats in the news.
UFOs tend to show themselves when winding down after partying. I'm pretty sure they've probed me when I've been half passed out on a park bench before.
Hah. It was probably just his iPhone glowing back at him from the bottom of the toilet.
Newly released UFO files from the UK Government
Pffft, as if I'm paying three quid to find out if extraterrestrial life has tried mushy peas or not.
