Against The Grain: 'UFO sightings should be taken more seriously'

Check out the Independent article Against The Grain: 'UFO sightings should be taken more seriously'
"People used to come up to the astronomer Carl Sagan after lectures and ask: "Do you believe?" He was struck by the question. Not, is there evidence? But, do you believe? It's a matter of faith to a lot of people and UFOs can become a substitute for religion. What they like is the mystery, they don't want a solution."

I'd like to change the above quote to: "What sombunall (some but not all) UFO-folks like are their beliefs, not the mystery, or the truth." A shame that consciousness, DMT, OBE, altered states and extradimensionality all aren't mentioned but still an interesting article with some good points.

Thanks Posthuman blues
