"Radio has no future. Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible. X-rays will prove to be a hoax." -William Thomson, Lord Kelvin English scientist, 1899.

The X-Files movie is slated for release sometime in 2008 (hopefully.)

I love the X-Files. I have no idea how many times I've watched all the episodes, but I have all 9 seasons on DVD and the Mythology set... and I've watched them all in consecutive order, then in the order of my favorite episodes (numero uno being the episode that Chris Carter based on his visit to the city of Irvine - "Arcadia" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GixZdibeyJ4 where a disgusting garbage monster kills people for not obeying the HOA covenants, codes and regulations) then in order of my favorite monsters, etc. etc. etc. I love the X-Files.

I was reading about all the hype around Dennis Kucinich saying he saw a UFO. I didn't think it was too strange myself - after all, both Jimmy Carter and Ronald Regan claimed to have seen a UFO while they were governors of their states. I suppose those were different times though.

I remembered listening to Kevin and Bean and hearing an interview with Buzz Aldrin. He described his venture into outer space for Apollo 11 with Armstrong and Collins and their near-UFO experience. Here's a You Tube video with him describing the same thing:



There's a whole buttload of other NASA Astronauts who say they've had interaction with UFOs or have seen them while on missions into outer space (a superficial Google search revealed at least these: Cady Coleman NASA transmission shuttle mission STS-73; Astronaut Dr. Brian O'Leary; Charles J. Camarda Ph.D. NASA Astronaut; NASA's Scott Carpenter.) So the people who work in outer space are saying that there are unidentified flying objects in outer space which our intelligence agencies can not explain as spy vehicles from any earthly country - how can one laugh at anyone who says "I think I've seen a UFO?"

England has a department that is dedicated to the investigation of UFO sightings. When investigations began 80% of those sightings were easily explained away as a mis-sighting (weather balloon, traffic lights, aircraft, etc.) 15% lacked enough information to investigate appropriately and 5% of the information had complete and reliable information (multiple unrelated witnesses, radar, RAF pilot testimonies, etc.), yet still was totally unexplainable. Unidentifiable. Object. Flying.

I understand that for all governments that these issues are matters of national security - they have to do their investigation in secrecy assuming that it could always possibly be a result of some foreign nation with incredible skills that we had no idea existed... but if that's not the case, I wonder if the governments would come out and say, yes, officially there is some sort of unidentified flying technology and we're trying to figure it out.

In the X-Files they don't tell anyone because at first they claim it would cause mass panic - in the end, it's really because a sect of these mean aliens are trying to colonize our planet and have made a deal with an organization of elite men to save their asses by not being infected with the virus that will turn them into psycho ass aliens... but their asses would only be saved if they didn't tell anyone. Mulder finds out, kicks ass, ends up in a motel room with Scully awaiting the end. Also, there was some stuff with the Mayans and you know the origin of our species being alien and crap. All awesome.

Anyway, there's an episode where Cigarette Smoking Man and another head FBI official (who technically doesn't "exist") have been told that they have captured a live alien and have to make the decision to kill it or let Agent Mulder know. They kill the alien. I hope we're not killing aliens now too.
