(25,862 posts)And while I am personally somewhat open to the possibility of "extraterrestrial", I have definitely seen UFOs in the sense of something unidentified. I do not believe that any of what I've seen has been extraterrestrial, simply unidentified.
For what it's worth, I've been reading about UFOs for a very long time. I probably read every single book on that topic that was written in the 1950s and 1960s, and a lot of those in the decades since.
One problem with that field is that it has evolved, and someone getting in to it now with no background can absolutely get lost.
I myself don't have a fixed opinion on the topic. I'm capable of thinking one thing one day and another thing another day. And I'm reluctant to try to convince anyone else that my take on this is the definitive one.
Related to this topic, to anyone who reads this, I'd warmly recommend a visit to Roswell NM and the UFO museum there. Part of it is completely a straightforward account of the news reports in 1947. Another part is somewhat nonsense. And best of all, Roswell is home to a couple of truly wonderful art museums that, no matter what your take on what might or might not have happened in 1947, are well worth visiting.
