I am too pragmatic to accept or discount the possibility that those things exist. Heck, I'd love to meet an alien or trap a Bigfoot, but I must admit that all the testimonials about encounters are dubious at best. The underlying characteristics are that these encounters are in remote locations, the photos are fuzzy and video shaky, they leave no conclusive evidence, and in the case of alien spacecraft, the meaning of U.F.O. is stretched to it's limit. When I see a contrail of a jet at 30,000 feet or more that I cannot recognize due to it's altitude, I have no choice but to designate it as a U.F.O. since it challenges my knowledge. But I'm not going to say that it is of extra-terrestrial origin even if it has no contrail or seems to hover. Which leads me to believe that Bigfoot, alien abductions, bleeding moons, and time warps are the contemporary versions of sea serpents, mermaids, and fictional gods that must be appeased. I'd like some views on this whether in agreement or not.
