Roswell...how many different stories can they come up with?

Just been watchin an episode of The Unexplained on Discovery Channel...it was about UFO's.

Now, the tale they told was, of course, Roswell. The funny bit is how the stories kept changing over the years...added to and embellished, one saucer, two saucers, three saucers, no bodies, many bodies, a landing and a bad take off resulting in a crash, a ship being struck by lightning, and many more.

To digress, don't you always find it funny that these are supposedly craft from an advanced civilisation, capable of travel between the stars, of moving through the depths of space at massive velocities...but they just can't seem to handle lightning or a decent take off...

Now, when someone tells you four or five different...radically different, not just little details...versions of the same story, you would start to question the truthfullness of what they were saying, if not outright coughing into your hand "Bullshit!".

Not these people...to them, the basic premise is absolutely true...aliens crashed near Roswell...it doesn't seem to matter to them how the story changes over the years, no matter how much is changed and added to in the story: each change is gleefully accepted without question, seemingly without asking "hang on...didn't you just tell us it was this way? How come now it happened that way...?"

Blind belief is a wonderful thing...

Now I should say straight away...I firmly believe in life on other planets...the odds are just too astronomical for it not to be so. I just don't believe that flying saucers exist.

Oh well...while ever UFO nuts exist, we can all have fun laughing at them...
