Remember what the U in UFO stands for

Reader comment on item: [Michael Barkun on] Old Conspiracies, New Beliefs

Submitted by Charles R.L. Power (United States), Jan 13, 2004 at 11:31

Why do you group people who believe in UFOs with conspiracy theorists? I certainly believe in UFOs. All this means is that I believe that occasionally people see flying objects and fail to identify them. What's the big deal? (There are probably Unidentified Floating Objects as well, but for some reason it's less popular to build elaborate fantasies about them.)

It's when people start identifying such objects that we get into trouble.
