UFO issue of Skeptical Inquirer
Some may find this of interest.
The current issue of Skeptical Inquirer, Jan 09, is devoted to the topics of UFOs.
UFO believers will not find solace within the pages. :-)

4. No, but sometimes they find themselves face down in a cornfield with their pants around their ankles

7. Hmph...
That is none of my business. Having never found myself in such a situation, I remain uncurious as to the reason for such a thing.

9. I think it's more the case that the publication is skeptical
about things that have no real evidence beyond accounts given by witnesses.

11. I'll go see if I can find it in my libarary (where I'm working). It should be amusing to
see how they leave out crucial information and certain cases just to bolster their own ridiculous agenda. Just like man UFO believers.

13. You try spelling correctly and putting together a coherent sentence after getting 2 hours sleep.
I'll reiterate my point: today's professional skeptics talk out of the asses about a subjects they know nothing about.
