My opinion on such matters is irrelevant. My opinion will not resolve the issue nor will anyone else's.

This question has already been asked 906 previous times on yahooanswers (if you had bothered to check the search box first) and the only answers given are opinions. Have those 906 questions resolved the matter? Will this one be any different?

There exists no clear evidence. If there did, then the topic would have been resolved by now and your first question would not need to be asked.

When such evidence does appear, we shall find in in the newspapers and television news and science books. Not on fake websites such as youtube and the like.

Nor will we find any evidence in Jesse's url for Project Camelot. People are interviewed and you choose to believe or disbelieve. What good is that?

As this topic relies upon belief and is not testable with science, it is called paranormal (along with ghosts and such)and may be found under the Alternative section.

If you are conducting a 'how many people believe' poll it may be found at Entertainment and Music - Polls and Surveys.

My guess is that it has already been asked in both of those places as well - and with the same result - opinions.

Astronomy has nothing to do with UFO's or aliens.

I personally have not witnessed a "flying saucer" or "spaceship" from another planet..Anything I have witnessed amounts to nothing more than "swamp gas".
So therefore, any belief I have in UFOs isn't very solid and doesn't convince me they or extraterriestrials exist.

However, I have a lot more belief in what has been reported over the last century than in my own personal beliefs. There are a lot of things that point to the general public someday finding out for sure what the truth of this matter is. Many people have had a great variety of experiences in relation to UFOs. Eyewitness accounts of many people from average citizens to highly skilled and intelligent individuals and professionals have documented these experiences in documenteries, movies and books. Compelling arguments have been made that persuade us to realize how slim the chances of us being the only intelligent life in the entire universe.

So, just to recap, personally, I have trouble believing in UFOs, because I haven't seen them with my own two eyes, but, I also have trouble believing that all the encounters that people have said they have had are hoaxes. Ultimately, I guess I would have to say that I want to beleive, I'm honestly just not 100% sure.

A UFO is an Unidentified Flying Object.
Therefore, you are asking if I believe in something that flies that I can’t identify, then yes.
A UFO can be a weird plane, a meteor, a shooting star, trash falling from a plane or even an unusual bird.
It gets my goat when someone says he or she doesn’t believe in UFOs. I can’t believe anyone would say that he or she can identify everything.
If you are asking if I believe in alien aircraft (as in extraterrestrial) then it’s a toss-up. It is illogical to believe that with hundreds of thousands of other suns in space with millions of other planets there isn’t other life besides us. It is egotistical to believe that some of that life couldn’t be more intelligent than us.
However, if there are off-world visitors to Earth, then why haven’t they exposed themselves more publicly? It seems that a more advanced civilization would be more diplomatic. As we progress in technology our world becomes a better place, we have more tolerance for things outside of ourselves. That is a typical observation of every society we know about.
Have I seen a UFO – well I have seen something weird that I cannot explain. Was it an alien aircraft – I don’t know, I live real close to a major airport with an Air Force base.

Yes. It doesn't only happen in US. It happens everywhere in the world. Just that the US has bigger publicity. Things that happen there reach the world over like a speeding bullet. In some countries they just remain in local news. Seriously it doesn't do one any good to tell people about it coz people will just think you are crazy. But I know of one which I'm eager to share and am willing to take the risk telling our YAMmers!... A separate incident in M'sia (not involving me) that happened involving someone I know which happened in 1960's... (I wasn't born yet) which had maybe 40-50 witnesses, was publicized in the M'sian newspapers (I was told) and sent researches from New Zealand and Australia flocking down to interview all the witnesses including the person who told me. The researchers' results were that the witnesses all had the same descriptions of the aliens and UFO. At that time there were no h/phone with camera or any sort of that convenience we have now. The witnesses were asked to draw what they saw and all the drawings were similar. The aliens were not big like us, they were small... less than half the size of an adult. They landed accident-like in a bush of lalang at the edge of a field where there were people playing sports, came out and tried to defend themselves shouting angrily (but no one understood what they were saying) holding like small sharp objects, thinking that the people wanted to harm them, then they (I guess managed to) get their engines up and flew off... in their small round flying object (not a huge one like what we see in the movies... I was told) The whole place was then evacuated and cordonned off by the army. But they just found the marks left by the UFO. You think this is crazy, right ??? I better stop here...

Have you never heard of Betty and Barney Hill. They were abducted by a UFO back in the 50s. She spoke to the aliens and asked where they were from. They showed her a map and pointed out their planet. Months later, under hypnosis, she drew this map, drawn from the alien perspective looking toward earth. It contained a planet we did not at that time know existed. We didn't "discover" it until some 25 years later. Now how could that be false? It's not!!

UFO means "Unidentified Flying Object". There are many flying objects that cannot be identified but this has nothing to do with little green men from outer space. A UFO could be anything from a weather balloon to a meteorite entering the atmosphere. It simply means any flying object that cannot be positively identified by air traffic controllers or ground observers.
Based on the proper definition of UFO, then my answer to this question, is yes.
Don't get me wrong, there may be lots of planets that have intelligent life on them, but I don't think any of these intelligent life forms have made it to our planet, nor have we made it to theirs. I do think that one day we will make contact with intelligent life from other planets, but don't be disappointed if they are not little green men. They are more likely to look very much like us.

I do not personally have evidence of any UFO's but I do believe there is something or somebody out there besides us. We are living with our collective heads up our butts if we think we are the ONLY life in the universe.

There are no UFOs, no little green men from Mars, and no dead aliens from outer space being kept on ice at Area 51. All this UFO garbage is fiction.......that's all. So, stop smoking the weed, get your head back in the real world, and try to make something out of your miserable lives instead of sitting in your mother's basement watching re-runs of Star Trek.

Yes, I believe that there are Unidentified Flying Objects - I have seen a few objects I was unable to identify in the sky myself. Some are probably aircraft and experimental aircraft, others tricks of light.

No, I don't believe in aliens from outer space. Some are probably demons, some might be tricks.

I believe in the possibility of ufo's. If we're the only "intelligent" species in the Universe, we're screwed.
