 FA>        Correct.   Well known.   Long ago  conceded that  yes, in  this
 FA> world, for  many reasons  people have  mistaken the  planet Venus  for
 FA> something they could not identify, therefore my God, its a UFO, and if
 FA> the clouds  were moving,  and the  branches were  swaying it  may have
 FA> actually given the illusion that the planet Venus moved a little.  Now
 FA> it  have  long  ago  been a  given that  95% of  things seen  could be
 FA> attributed  to  excited  people,  dumb  people,  drunk people,  stoned
 FA> people, or any other category you would like  to throw  out.  But  the
 FA> interest point  is that  elusive 5%  or 2%  whichever that  have solid
 FA> witnesses,  strange  characteristics, and  defy explanation  under our
 FA> current  scientific  knowledge,  and  also  exceed  our  technological
 FA> capabilities.
   I have no argument with any of that.
   My problem with George was that he seemed to be saying: Some UFOs
have been seen moving in strange unpredictable patterns, therefore no
UFO can be a star because stars don't move like that.
 FA>                                                                 There
 FA> are some many myths floating around, and one of the problems the way I
 FA> see it, it is easy to dismiss something as a  meteor, or  delusion, in
 FA> some cases you are quite correct.  I agree. But in some other cases, I
 FA> would like to see data on why you think it is bogus.
   Fair enough. I'll keep that in mind.
