Did the Boss play "Spirit in the Night"?

Face-palm.

This is why I refuse to talk about my abduction with non-believers.

I also have such good SA that I always know where I am in relation to the nearest VOR and can identify approach fixes from the ground w/o a GPS.

Is it just me- or is the bluish color of the UFO remarkably similar to the blue dash lighting in the car?

He probably looked up the event location on a map after he got home, or he's based there and remembers where that location is.

I'd be able to remember where my local major event centers are in relation to the airport approaches.

Ahhhh, the arrogance of man continues to manifest itself in the belief that our race is the only race that could possibly occupy the vast reaches of the Universe. Stupidity has no boundaries in this, our world. I wonder if it does on others?

I bet there are some really stupid aliens out there.

Obviously if they're seen over FLL, they're not bright.

They can't be that stupid if we are still talking about them and the fact we can never seem to catch said aliens in the act. Remember, the Earth was flat at one time in history and the Moon was made of cheese.
