I don't follow the show, but the History channel should stick to history and not ghosts, UFOs or other haints and hobgoblins.

I have been fortunate enough to see a variety of objects launched into space, from both the ground and the air and a variety of objects enter the atmosphere. I have also seen very close closure at Mach 2 speeds and missles coming off an aircraft at Mach 2 plus. Bullets and artillery shells can also be seen in flight with the naked eye under the right conditions. All these events have one thing in common, they are hard to see unless you are looking for them and waiting, and they would be very difficult to photograph.

Maybe that explains why evidence is impossible to find that proves the existence of UFOs.

My own theory is that life exists in the universe on levels higher and lower than our own, but there is such a vast expanse out there that the twain shall never meet. Just as I would not drive from Miami to New York for a quart of milk, they have no real need to traverse a thousand or a million light years-even if they could, because the various elements needed to constuct a civilization are well distributed throughout the cosmos.

Most of what we get from the popular literature is a quasi-religious/philisophical angst built up on decades of funny fiction from Jules Verne and Buck Rogers to the more modern writers. Much of it has to do with man's grasp for meaning or explanation. Most of it is just fuzzy conspiracy and psychological pitfalls from slightly crazed minds. By the way, aliens aren't in the machines, they are the machines.
