PA> GJO> The high maneuverability is not supportive of this theory.
 PA> Not all UFOs have been reported to have exhibited high
 PA> maneuverability.
 True, however it is easier to classify objects that are in a field of their 
own. 
 PA> PA> balloons,
 PA> GJO> same as above.
 PA> Ditto.
 We seem to be talking about the most general definition of U.F.O.  Sure, 
they can be fast or slow and I am sure balloons have been mistaken for some 
et crafts in the past.  But the is a category of sightings which does not fit 
man made craft characteristics. 
 PA> PA> normal aircraft,
 PA> GJO> documented characteristics are beyond human aircraft capability at
 PA> GJO> this time.
 PA> Not for all UFOs.
That just the point, there is this unexplainable class.
 PA> PA> meteors,
 PA> GJO> again like stars.  They have very predictable parabolic paths.
 PA> Again, not all UFOs have been reported to have unpredictable
 PA> movements. And even some that were turned out to be meteors.
yep...
 PA> PA> satellites,
 PA> GJO> again the simplistic paths, do not fit what government documents
 PA> say.
 PA> I'm getting tired of repeating myself here.
sure, by the strict definition, anything goes.
 PA> PA> or ducks covered with Glowzone stickers.
 PA> GJO> well, the movement would be more realistic, however, observed
 PA> GJO> altitudes are a limit.
 PA> Ah well, it wasn't all that great a contender anyway. (Mind you, some
 PA> observed altitudes have turned out to be wrong...)
I don't doubt it.
 PA> PA> Based on the verifiable evidence currently available, alien
 PA> PA> spacecraft are more likely than ghosts, interdimensional
 PA> PA> travellers, and glowing ducks. But they're still less likely than
 PA> PA> stars, balloons, misidentified aircraft, meteors, and satellites.
 PA> GJO> correct Paul....the fact is the skeptic do NOT have an alternativ
 PA> GJO> explanation, I have actually never heard one, that explains what
 PA> some
 PA> GJO> of these documents talk about.
 PA> For instance?
 For example, objects splitting into two and performing complicated movements 
sometimes exceeding 20 G's (I have a Central Intelligence Agency doc which 
discusses some of the physical characteristics (from 1952)) . Interacting 
with military aircraft...ect..all documented on FOIA documents.
