The British government have for the first time admitted that their are such things as UFO's or as they put it UFP'S "UNIDENTIFIED FLYING PHENONOMEN.
In 1999 UK Ministry of Defence were told to look into the UFO PHENONOEN and to prepare a report into it for the UK government and after 4 years they concluded that their were things flying around in the atmosphere which could not be explained by conventional science but also stated that none of the ufo's were believed to be spacecraft from other worlds, just stuff which they couldn’t always explain.
The secret report was filled away from the public’s eyes but a keen eyed researcher found a reference to it and managed to then obtain a full copy under the freedom of publications act.
My view is that there isn’t little green men flying around but what do you think about the unexplained by conventional science part [:)]

I once had a Unidentified Sunken Object A USO to you and me. but in the end it turned out to be my mobile phone which i had left on the cistern. i had it on vibrate and when i rang it to help me find it the vibration caused it to go plop in the toilet.[:D]

Why not? Rather, it doesn't make sense that there would not be. It is pure conciete to think we are the only intellegent life form in the universe. Besides, it is time for me to check in with Geldiene IV and my "control/"

Whether we are the only intelligent life in the universe is an irrelevance. The relevant question is whether there is any intelligent life that exists contemporaneously with ourselves that is sufficiently close to us to be able to reach us.
That there may be intelligent life living 3 million light years away, that has only been in existence for 1 million years (and thus, not even radio signals from that part of the universe has yet reached us, let alone any space ships) is rather inconsequential to the issue of UFOs.

I couldn't agree more Young Jim,....even I, little ole moi could have written that report...and I would have written it in less than 4 years too...more like four minutes....though, I may have stretched it out to a couple of years for play time !
I agree also that it is wholly arrogant of mankind to think that we are the only intelligent beings in the whole Universe...
To answer the original question though.
I would expect ' things ' that we can not explain ...are just that !... Shocking as it may seem ,we do have inabilities. Once we obtain an ability then we can use it. For the objects that remain UFOs I am sure that 99.99% of them have perfectly rational explanations.
We just don't have the knowledge...yet...to enable us to discover and then understand them.

It's an odd conclusion that they appear to be able to state with some certainty what UFO's are not but not what they are [:)]
I would suggest that UNIDENTIFIED means that the jury is still out ......
