UFOs shows government competence as either surprisingly high or low

What is crazy is that if the people in this movie are not lying, then every person on earth should be trying to solve this mystery. It would take crazy technology and time for anything to travel from another galaxy and be able to handle this environment without slowly studying and incorporating our DNA into theirs over a period of time.(60 years is nothing when you think about it) What is even crazier is that a whole civilization could be living in our own ocean without detection, especially if said civilization had the technology to get here in the first place. Look it all sounds crazy but nothing is crazier than aliens from another planet actually finding us and traveling the distance. The intelligence and technology to do this is not even comparable using living things born on earth. (The difference between the intelligence of Albert Einstein and an ant is far less than Albert Einstein and some living thing which is able to make it to earth and live here undetected for 60/? years )

Honestly if the UFO thing, which has been an issue since the 40's, turn out to be some counter intelligence mind control military garbage..

My theory: Humans are at an evolutionary point where they can't advance without outside help. For example we think we are smart ("Mars is out next home") yet we cannot even stop ourselves from dumping chemicals into our oceans, knowing it is making it harder for us to reproduce.

If the people in the movie are not lying, are not taken out of context, and are not mistaken.

To be fair that's also true of Lord of the Rings :)

But being serious, the scientific mindedness of army personnel and politicians is not widely reputed. I find it still far more likely that they are overblowing simple flukes for fear of dismissing a legitimate threat, than I find it that we are occasionally stumbling into high-technology that contradicts our understanding of physics.

The fact that these sightings are almost always happening at high altitudes and in stressful situations makes it even more likely that they are instrument or human blips, or rare weather-related phenomena.

I feel somewhat bad for sharing life stories on a technical forum, but here it goes. As a young boy, 5-ish, I was sleeping with my mother and father in the room, and my grandmother rushes in, all pale, shouting something which directly translates to "Flying body! Flying body!". I distinctly remember having nightmares afterward with flying torsos of humans, because my mind interpreted the "Flying body" statement as literal.

My parents take me with them and the four of us go outside. Sure enough, super close to the top of the buildings is a huge incandescent ... circle. It felt like it had no height, just a 2D circle, just moving somewhat slowly, soundless, above the buildings. Now, this went on for a total of 5 minutes until we lost all visibility, to the other buildings (again, this thing was very very very close to the building tops).

Add two more decades to my life, and I remember this incident. I look online and sure enough, I find an old phpBB forum where people talk about 'the incident'. Apparently, several people tracked it that evening and wrote about it. Unfortunately, I can't find the forum anymore, and going to the library to look for newspaper clippings yielded nothing, so this is always going to be a story that I'll believe, but probably no one else.

My parents still remember the incident, my grandmother is no longer with us. I've thought about what it might have been, trying to come up with a somewhat reasonable explanation, but I have yet to find any.
