This reminds me of the early transistor patent that was knocked back because it
didn't contain a heated cathode, and hence couldn't work.

Has it not occurred to these people that alien races that can travel between the
stars probably have artificial gravity, hence no evidence of weightlessness is
even to be expected?

Hi Robin,

Good point.  All the reported cases of UFO abductions I have read stated the
aliens walked around the craft, not floated.  Of course, this could be due
to the lack of imagination of fake abductions, but if the abductions are
real, then your point would be more reasonable than the conclusion of
lying.

I wonder if we'll get any useful advanced technology clues from the French
UFO files?

FWIW, probably not. It may spark a few comments here and there concerning the 
interesting fact that encounters of the extraordinary keep happening on our 
planet, but then... so what.

Consider this recent news flash: Fife Symington the former Republican governor 
of Arizona has recently publicly admitted to the world that he pretty well 
convinced himself that the so-called Phoenix lights, the sensational news 
incident that tens and thousands witnessed over the Phoenix skies around ten 
years ago, were not from this world. He even admits to participating in an 
attempt to diffuse the situation at a news conference he conducted where he 
paraded out a man in an alien suit to help turn the incident into a joke. Check 
out cnn.com for more info on this subject. There's video as well.

People will continue to believe what they want to believe about the subject. 
Everything from: Space Brothers have come to save us to The Spawn of Satan's 
Loins have come to serve us up will flourish unabated - especially in the book 
stores where there is a buck to be made.

As long as these incidents continue to remain, for the most part, eye witnesses 
accounts, there are plenty of ways to rationalize away the phenomenon, 
one-incident-at-a-time. The vast majority on this planet would prefer to keep 
the status quo as-is.

There's goes the neighborhood.
