Former Pilots Demand U.S. Reopen Project Blue Book

Too good to pass up, and besides, we haven't talked this much about UFOs in my home since the X-Files got canceled:

UFOs are no joke, group says

WASHINGTON (AFP) - UFOs may be fodder for comedians but there was no joking Monday when a group of former pilots recounted seeing strange phenomena in the sky and demanded the US government reopen an investigation into unidentified flying objects.

Several pilots offered dramatic accounts of witnessing UFOs -- including a transparent flying disc and a triangular craft with mysterious markings -- as they insisted their questions needed to be taken seriously more than 30 years after the US file was closed.

"We want the US government to stop perpetuating the myth that all UFOs can be explained away in down-to-earth, conventional terms," said Fife Symington, former governor of Arizona and air force pilot who says he saw a UFO in 1997.

Now, I know that there are lots of serious believers out there, and I don't want to "alienate" any potential reader out there. So to make amends for having a little fun with this topic, I offer the universal symbol of UFO-lovers everywhere - the "I Want To Believe" poster:

There - all better?
