Since lots of documents have been declassified recently by officials as you can see in this linked thread reply onwards I’d like to know if there are people on the forums of this space sci-fi game who are into UFOs and ETs :
I miss the option of believing flying objects can be unidentified, as well as that life probably exists somewhere in the galaxy outside Earth, but without implying that these ETs are flying UFOs on Earth.
I guess I’ll pick ‘not yet’.
Conflation of ideas, so: Yes and not certain yet.
I believe in “UFOs” because I saw one once (1995, in the sky over Arizona).
I’ve never seen an “ET,” so I can’t say I believe in them or not. Presumably, someone or something was flying the craft I saw. But who that was, and where they come from, I can’t say.
No. And joke polls are a joke.
You forgot the “No” in your poll 
Kind of the same place. Have seen something in the sky I have no idea what it was (so, an UFO) but I don’t think they’re ET, and I’m not sure whether we can ever establish if there intelligent life elsewhere, but I guess that don’t.
So, the poll is missing an option of “no” or even “there’s nothing to believe in”.
As for the Pentagon files, they’re a huge heap of misidentified terrestrial stuff, camera/optical/recording glitches and generally a big fat nothing conclusive or of any consequence.
But part of me suspects why the US government would foster superstitious beliefs, given the tendency of autocracies to encourage obscurantism as an escape from reality. Keep the masses entertained with UFOs and ETs and away from why the US economy is being hijacked by the 1% to destroy the wealth and liberty of the commoners.
Not gonna vote, because the simple ‘no’ option is not there.
Do I think there’s life on other planets? Absolutely.
Do I think unidentified flying objects are aliens from space? – Absolutely not.
I also don’t understand what ‘starseed’, ‘precursor’, ‘hybrid children’, or ‘CE5’ mean. You might wanna explain the terms used in your poll, if you want people to participate.
I saw an ‘‘object in the sky’’ when I was in high school. Happened twice. The second time I figured it out that it was the optical event of headlights reflecting off of wet power lines when a car was approaching from behind a turn. But it looked a bit like a spaceship speeding in the sky and then suddenly coming to stop. I suspect whatever it is that people have ‘‘seen’’, is something just as mundane and explainable in the end.
I’ve been seeing aliens every day for the past 20 years. There’s about 37 million of them in South Texas…
The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus. 
It helps to read people’s posts to the very end.
What I saw was a set of several lights in a formation shaped like a cross, slowly moving through the sky across a gap between buildings in my city. Like this:
(Now this reminded me that I wanted to try and determine its direction with google maps… will be back in a while)
I’m back, it’s been easier than I thought because it really is a long but narrow gap between buildings. Their bearing was between 150º to 170º if I’ve digged right my 40+ years old memories of where did they first show up from behind some buildings and where did they disappear behind some others.
At unknown altitude and velocity, the sighting lasted some 40 seconds. Can’t really estimate how many degrees of arc they travelled in those 40 seconds.
I saw a giant sphere hovering stationary over the Arizona desert for well over 20 minutes. No lights, sound, or visible exhaust. No obvious means of propulsion or visible control surfaces. I was in the US Army at the time, working as an avionics tech on a military airfield, so I was familiar with various configurations of fixed and rotor-wing aircraft. This was like nothing I’d ever seen.
I give that detail to say, I tried at the time and for years after to find some mundane explanation for the sighting. I’ve yet to come up with any.
It helps thinking about a reply before responding to it. Hint: my post is an actual movie quote.
The mundane explanation is you were working on a military airfield in a desert and did not have the required clearance to be briefed on what you were seeing. The military doesn’t just use Groom Lake to test experimental aircraft and we’ve been trying to make anti-grav “flying saucers” since the 40’s.
Sounds familiar, but I can’t place it.

- Kay: All right, Beatrice, there was no alien. The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.
- Jay: Wait a minute. You just flash that thing, it erases her memory, and you just make up a new one?
- Kay: A standard issue neuralyzer.
- Jay: And that weak-ass story’s the best you can come up with?
- Kay: On a more personal note Beatrice, Edgar ran off with an old girlfriend. You’re gonna go stay with your mom a couple nights. You’re gonna get over it and decide you’re better off.
- Jay: Well, yeah, you know, 'cause 'cause he never appreciated you anyway. In fact, you know what - you kicked HIM out! And now that he’s gone you’re gonna go into town, you go to Bloomingdale’s and find some nice dresses, get yourself some shoes, you know, find somewhere, maybe you can get a facial. And, uh, oh - hire a decorator to come in here quick, 'cause… DAMN.
It was one of Tommy Lee Jones’ lines in MIB doing the Neurolizer thinggy.
Nope, sorry. The sighting took place over 750 miles from my post. I was on leave at the time, going to visit a girl in Phoenix whom I met on IRC. Sweet girl, but terrible typist. She accidentally left a zero off when she told me her weight.
Regardless, if you want to argue that I saw a black budget, experimental, spherical aircraft, built and flown in secret by the US government, that uses some exotic form of anti-gravity propulsion—sure, I’ll buy that. But I don’t consider such an explanation “mundane.”
Stationary?
Above a desert?
What are the chances you saw a mirage?
