Old and busted – Bird watching. New hotness – UFO spotting

Speaking as someone who has been doing this for many years (without success, I might add), I ll just say that I m not surprised. There are a number of factors that are probably contributing to all of the UFO reports that are coming in, but they are all keeping the folks at the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) and the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) busy. If you happen to be in Canada, their government accepts, tracks and logs sightings. The Canadians have similarly reported an increase in sightings of more than 50%.

Yeah. I used to be a bit of an amateur astronomer. I still always check the skies when I’m outside. I still subscribe to Sky & Telescope. (Someday — I’ll have such an awesome setup!). I would love to see a UFO — I would like to be able not to identify it. But nope. Never. I saw a piece of space junk once, tumbling against a full moon. Lots of high altitude jets. But never a UFO. Not once. Where are they? Are we alone? Where did I put my drink?
