ah ah aaaaaaah!  Naughty naughty.... I am a skeptic.  I discriminate any 
evidence carefully and end up believing that 90% if not all UFO material is 
fake.  BUT!  I do believe that aliens exist, there are just too many planets 
that could sustain intelligent life out there in the universe to say... no we 
are the only beings with any intelligence.
Yeah, and I'm a self confessed idiot!
L8r!
PS.  Don't start with the long responses or over-over-over-zealous alien 
stuff or I'll just ignore it.  (I'm not implying however that you are 
over-zealous, just precautionary)
