That CAN'T be true! / Re: Hard Evidence for the UFO phenomenon case: Aurora Texas Incident

I think a bit of healthy skepicism is good - not closed-minded but skeptic, the burden of proof lies with the UFO-supporters to prove it, not the skeptics to disprove it . However since there have been so many thousands of alleged sightings and rumours over the years, there really has been very little of anything that could be considered proper hard evidence that stands up to rigorous scientific scrutiny. So is it a huge government conspiracy? A massive cover-up to save us all from the scary truth? When governments can't even keep quiet about their own expense accounts or minor transgressions these days I have to say the chance of a massive co-ordinated cover up are minimal these days. And if ther was, what would their motive really be, to keep the truth from us? How would it perpetuate their own personal careers?
I have a problem with your article and the phrases which follow "I am led to believe.."eg: the 'hard evidence' about aluminium and iron, really needs some substantiation, a reference. I am not a metallurgist but I was a geologist and I know aluminium is one of the most abundant metals in the earths crust, and is commonly found as bauxite, which is a mixture of aluminium and iron, as an ore. This is not rare, special or extra-terrestrial.
High levels of aluminium in ore-rich areas are well documented as leaching into the water courses. There is no wonder or supstition about this. Sadly all the good bits of evidence around this appear to have gone missing, so we are all left to speculate.
