Space.com article:

UFOs: True Believers and Truth Seekers Conference Begins

Quote:
The 37th annual Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) symposium is being held July 14-16 in nearby Denver, attracting throngs of believers, the downright curious—as well as upright skeptics and debunkers.

The symposium’s title is the drawing card: “Unconventional Flying Objects: The Best Evidence”. The three day gathering features a potpourri of UFO discussion - from border crossings of the third kind, UFO crash retrievals, and triangular UFOs to the alien agenda and ethics of contact. Also add in reports on the physical evidence for UFOs.

There is no doubt that UFOs are here to stay, agrees John Schuessler, MUFON’s International Director at the group’s headquarters in neighboring Morrison, Colorado. “We see no drop in UFO reports,” he told SPACE.com, but added that some of the characters in the UFO arena muddy the waters…a lot.

Brings up a good counter-argument to the UFO believers out there: If the french government thought that any of these sightings could in any way be extraterrestrial inteligent life, they would have surrendered to these new alien overlords by now.

Ah, zee French! Zo eazzy to make with zee fun, no? (about as easy as it is to make fun of us americans )
