Default UFO Theories?

UFO's have been around since man occured/was placed here on Earth. UFO's, in all obviousness and with no useless debate included, are an entity of intelligent life with thus far, no strong intentions on coinciding with human society. Hundreds of theories have been produced, from the governments slanderous explanations ranging from weather balloons to plasma balls, to suggestions from open-minded thinkers like myself. Some have concluded that there are many races of these UFOs from different areas in the universe, with the different races all here for different purposes. Some people have conjured up the idea that we are their creations, that some unidentified life form has put us, and all animal, here on earth for a reason, or possibly for no reason. Even more theories have been told based on these UFO's being nothing more than curious life, spying on our every move for the sole purpose of gaining an understanding. Does the government have a way to contact these beings? There are just multiple questions unanswered and multiple theories undisputed. Please give me all of your thoughts on UFOs : their origins, why they're here, their intentions, how much they know of use, are they our creators? Any ideas or theories you have, this is the place to share without being shunned. Thank you aheadatime to all the open-minded responses.

Are you advancing a conspiracy theory related to UFOs? After all, that is the focus of this particular forum.

(Doggonit, Laguna2 beat me to it!)

Bart? Is that you? "Open-minded" thinkers is one of his catch phrases as well as "plasma balls".

UFO's have been around since man occured/was placed here on Earth.

Improper generalization.

UFO's, in all obviousness and with no useless debate included, are an entity of intelligent life...

Begging the question.

from the governments slanderous explanations ranging from weather balloons to plasma balls, to suggestions from open-minded thinkers like myself.

Bias.

Does the government have a way to contact these beings?

Complex question. No evidence given that there are "beings" involved.

There are just multiple questions unanswered and multiple theories undisputed.

The beliefs of UFO proponents are indeed highly disputed. Unfortunately the disputation has little value because the beliefs themselves are pure speculation drawn according to nothing that provides a basis for rational or scientific disputation.

Please give me all of your thoughts on UFOs...

That's not how it works here.

...this is the place to share without being shunned.

What place? BAUT is a place where ideas are put to factual and logical tests. No idea is "shunned" per se, but ideas are vigorously tested.

Thank you aheadatime to all the open-minded responses.

Loaded language. By "open-minded" do you mean "immune from critical evaluation?"

Fans of the British comedy series "Yes Minister" and "Yes Prime Minister" might remember Bernard's example of irregular nouns in the English language: "I'm a free thinker, you're eccentric, he's round the twist." In this case it's more like, "I'm a free thinker, you're close-minded, he's a shill."

Aheadatime,
I suggest you look for an ufo forum and then pose this question. There you will get lots more answers in the speculative vein you associate with "open-minded".

What most people here propose as open mindedness is like using a preAlpha WinXP version without any security updates and a desactivated firewall for downloading the latest free porn tool from w3.wespreadtrojans.ru

Oh, it's one of my favorite weak debate tactics! Inserting the word "obviously" into an unsubstanciated viewpoint, thus making anyone who disagrees "obviously" a moron. Unfortunately for the OP, this tactic doesn't work with real "free thinkers", as the use of "obviously" has to be qualified with facts first.

But just incase there's anyone reading the thread that does fall for wording like that; It's wrong to question the obvious fact that the law requires you to send, at minimum, 50% of your earnings to Fazor on a weekly basis, with a 540% bonus during holiday season.

Sigh: Another drive-by troll, a one-post wonder. They're more fun if they stay a little while and try to argue. Less fun if they stay for a long while, generating hundreds of posts while just going in circles.
