In a world where global warming is a catastrophe that will be felt in most of our lifetimes, where a war against Iraq is being waged by the US at a cost of thousands of American troops and hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis, where billions of people live in poverty and despair, it is perhaps understandable that we won't pay any attention to something as baffling and as elusive as the UFO phenomenon.
But the phenomen is real and has enormous implications for our concept of reality.
And yet we continue to refuse to deal with it.
The latest example comes from Chicago where a group of United Airlines employees saw a mysterious, saucer-shaped craft hovering over O'Hare Airport. The workers, some of them pilots, said the object didn't have lights and hovered over an airport terminal before shooting up through the clouds.
As usual, the government and the media treated it as a joke and refused to investigate. Federal officials say it was probably just some weird weather phenomenon.
Reminds me of one official government investigation of a UFO sighting that said it was the result of "a weather phenomenon so rare that it had never been seen before or since."
Right.
