"It was the darndest thing I've ever seen It was big, it was very bright,

[madrchsod]

it changed colors and it was about the size of the moon.. We watched it for ten minutes, but none of us could figure out what it was. One thing's for sure, I'll never make fun of people who say they've seen unidentified objects in the sky. If I become President, I'll make every piece of information this country has about UFO sightings available to the public and the scientists"

1. GW BUSH: I saw thousands of WMD's right there in plain sight & I KNOW where they are nt

[tekisui]

2. chimpy: I talk to god. he talks to me. nt

[Basileus Basileon]

3. And the Reagans consulted astrologers. nt

[soothsayer]

12. I'm 100% sure shrubby does too. But I like astrologers, so I would, too.

[ben_meyers]

4. And I can hear Leno and Letterman already!

[Hissyspit]

5. What a non-issue. Question shouldn't have been used in the debate.

8. It changed what everyone was saying about Kucinich, you see.

The topic was "Kucinich says Bush is mentally unwell."

Now it's "Kucinich sees UFOs...wooo, wooo!"

[Basileus Basileon]

10. It's the crazy ones

who know how crazy the truly crazy ones are.

It's like this--I look down a deep, dark well of crazy, and I can see two shadowy figures somewhere down there. I don't know how deep they are; they're too far away to accurately judge. But the guy who's halfway down the Crazy Well--he knows exactly how deep the other guy is. And he knows where I am, too. He knows where he is. He just happens to like the shade, eh?

That's my take on it ;)

11. Hey, pass that over

[superkia]

17. And Kucinich uses the impeachment word on national television.

[MADem]

19. Well, don't talk about THAT, talk about UFO's! The Potatohead said so

and he'll probably say it again on Meat the Potatohead this weekend!!!

[wiseguy182]

14. I"ve seen UFO's at least twice, but don't believe in flying saucers.

There is a difference.

[TalkingDog]

15. I understand that completely, having seen a flying saucer myself.

Upclose and personal. My dad and uncle saw it too. No farther away than 50 or 60 feet. I can offer lots of detail.

My take on it is: I've never seen anything like that before. It looked like what people call flying saucers. However, I don't know where it was from or who was flying it.

So, I cannot definitively say it was an alien space craft.

As for "believing in" them. What an odd concept. Hell, I don't even "believe in" Jehovah. I'm not sure what that term even means in this context.

I used to believe in Santa, the Tooth Fairy and Civic Duty.

I have never believed in Clouds, Postal Delivery Men or Biscuits.
