Great fun, and I couldn't agree more! And while there may be no UFOs, as commonly understood, just Unidentified Flying Objects, there is the wide-spread phenomenon of the (often very militant) 'true believer', which Eric Hoffer wrote so insightful about 60 years ago in his book by that title...

Sir. Strat
You really deserve a title for your always wonderful humor that leaves me in need of a quick run to the 'loo' as the Brits say. roflmao

I have seen some unusual things in my life that left an impression! So, I don't know if they exit or not but your post was fantastic! sam

# The journal that I won the First Place Award in the poem category changed format to U.F.O. sightings. They’re that but we know who we are for sure. In any event let's explore outer space soon!  BC-A, Bill’s RJJst

The thing that always gets me

is when someone says that some being "looked like an alien".  A classic case of circular logic that is!

Great Post Strat...but then they always are. There must be UFO'S or

perhaps my Gnomes are real after all. I tried 3 times today to read here, and each time I was called away beforeI got started.This is try no.4. Something has been stopping me.

I like the thought of the cigar man on your shoulder.......it doesn't make sense to me that there isn't some form of life anywhere else in the Universe........but how it has evolved, what it is ....I don't expect to ever know. Look up at the stars some beautiful cloudless night..... it's very lonely to think we may be the only life anywhere ever. Makes me have to go and cuddle the cat.

Glad you got a charge out of it, LostinLife!
That's it -- don't know what the hell that was....

Very entertaining indeed! I agree tho - I'm sure we've all seen a UFO and my description is EXACTLY the way you put it.. therefore, they are real :)

Strat, Damn! Are you tellin' me that my EXPENSIVE tinfoil hat is WORTHLESS?

Great post--interesting, humorous, and entertaining.  Let me say though....
    I've never seen an alien
        I hope to never see one,
            but let me tell you firmly
                I'd rather see than be one.

I lean your way. Strat!
This is an unknowable fantastical obsession.
