		<description>Is there anything online I can find/read regarding the 1970&#039;s UFO flap over Akron?  What were the details of the &quot;hoax&quot;?  Thank you C. Morse.</description>

		<description>I acually remember one night as I was driving I saw a alien space craft, at least so it seemed.  I was already deeply involved in reading skeptical literature and I kept thinking as this saucer shaped object hovered in the distance, &quot;This cannot be happening to me after all the time I have argued with sincere friends against all evidence of alien contact.  As I got closer to the object it was a blimp, like the Goodyear type, lit from the bottom and slowly moving away from my local sports arena.  But the initial illusion was so real until I got closer.</description>

		<description>Perhaps you should mention that quality is determined by institutions that have already decided what &quot;can&quot; be considered real and most of them dismiss UFOs simply because of the subject matter and then use &quot;science&quot; to confirm their beliefs about UFOs.  They also control funding and politically disenfranchise groups of people that do study the subject  That UFOs and ET&#039;s are separate issues and that the many UFO sightngs do not necessarily &quot;prove&quot; ET intelligence the people that did see these things in the sky were not gullible.  The only think that this prove is that anyone can perpetrate a lie if they have the resources......I think that that would give more credence to conspiracy theorists and disinformation, rather than these two pseudo-intellectual jocks.</description>

		<description>That is exactly what my friends and I did in the early seventies.(We were in school at the time.) We caused the UFO flap over Akron Ohio. We followed our &quot;UFO&#039;s&quot; to make sure others saw them by stopping in the road and pointing up at the sky. Then we asked the other observers what they saw. The response was amazing, if we suggested it was a saucer shape (it wasn&#039;t) some of the people would say they saw that and then begin to embellish their story.
 This is the &quot;UFO Effect&quot; when otherwise rational individuals will observe something other than the truth. The human brain fills in the details based on that persons beliefs and life experiences. 
 I don&#039;t believe this serves any useful purpose, other than to demonstrate why I personally don&#039;t believe eye witness testimony is very reliable. 
 People who want to believe we are being visited always will. The argument that we simply couldn&#039;t be the only intelligent life in the universe is hard to dispute. That said, you must consider how &quot;rare&quot; Earth may be. It is just the right distance from the Sun, has a magnetic field protecting us. It has a moon, large enough to affect the tides and animal life. Plus many other factors that may make the planet Earth a single pearl in a ocean of planets.</description>

		<description>Are ufo&#039;s Alien craft? Possibly, one of the main reasons is the black budget. It doesn&#039;t make sense, you can give the military huge capitol, and they don&#039;t have to let you know, what they are doing, for national security. But why a black budget? IT would of been highly illegal, without the &quot;need to know&quot; law (which is a disgrace). There has never been a time in history , with as much of a feudal iron grip system, imposed by the military, and government run agencies today.</description>

		<description>i cannot seem to understand that many people will not believe in the possibility of unidentified fying objects (ufo&#039;s) unless the damn thing landed in front of their face. Yet people believe in God when to this day, God has still not landed in front of anyone&#039;s face...hmmmm. Give me the evidence!!!! However, I am not that ignorant. Just because some guys decided to pull a prank or debunk ALL ufo sightings for many people to reconsider is not the absolute, I truly hope, as I would hope that by my statement that God does not exists changes anyone&#039;s belief in God. Great people continue too make mistakes and Bill Birnes is too an exception. Haven&#039;t you made a mistake? UFO Hunters was a very informative show that should have remained on. Please too consider that after all, earth is around 4.5 billion years old and if there is intelligent life elsewhere and visiting our planet it will be far more intelligent than we are. Not to believe this is a shame.</description>
