They are cloaked to mesh right in with the sky (night or day)...did you think it would be simple to see them? What about the Arizone Lights? The O'Hare airport ufo? Roswell? Kecksberg? ...do you think anything paranormal HAS got to be fake? Why do you doubt what I say is true? I swear to you. The truth is out there!

Be careful of Geoff G observations, he's a Canadian farmer and Canadians, as a nation, are more poorly educated in science and astronomy than most countries, and so are less able to identify what they see in the sky.
Hey clittlefield22,
You need to look at Geoff Gs past answers, his words turned back, nearly word for word, here you go,
Geoff G,
"Probably it is because Americans , as a nation, are more poorly educated in science than most countries, and so are less able to identify what they see in the sky."

All "UFO" means is this: it means we see something in the sky and we don't know what it is. Most "UFO's" are subsequently identified. Many people see things in the sky and don't know what they are, and if they took the time to study and learn (and if they looked at the sky often enough to be familiar with what's up there) they'd realize that what they're seeing is natural phenomenon.
As for alien civilizations visiting from someplace else in the universe; well, there's a lot we don't know and there's a possibility that there's other life out there. The universe is a big place. However, if another civilization was advanced enough to manage that kind of travel, why would they waste their time visiting us?

I don't equate UFOs with aliens and otherworldly beings; simply put, a UFO is an unidentified flying object. I've seen many in my life - if it's flying and I don't know what it is, it's a UFO.
If something is cloaked (like a chameleon), you're going to have a very hard time seeing it. And assuming these aliens come from another planet and actually have the techonological know-how to get to Earth in a cloaked ship, you'd better believe you wouldn't be able to see it at all.

As an astronomer, I've spent hundreds of hours observing the night sky and I've never seen a "UFO". Curiously, other people (who have no background in astronomy) will look up at the sky and spot a "UFO" within seconds. This disparity is because astronomers know what they're seeing; unlike the average person, they won't mistake a satellite for a flying saucer. Remember, UFO stands for "unidentified flying object" and it doesn't refer to aliens.
-edit-
Geoff's answer is right on. I do hope that the person who insulted Geoff, his intelligence, and his country wasn't serious.

It's not up to skeptics to disprove ANYTHING.
It's the quality of evidence that is brought up regarding UFOs, psychics, 9/11 "Truth", the Kennedy Conspiracy, and Santa Claus! And the quality of that evidence is poor!
When all is said and done, you can't produce one piece of evidence other than someone's say so.
Anything you can produce would be laughed out of any respectable court!
The truth is not "out there"! The truth is derived from the scientific process by very hard nosed individuals. The truth has passed the gauntlet of peer reviewed journals.
You can never disprove anything completely because it is impossible to prove a negative!!

I have spent ALOT of nights out with my telescope and the only thing unidentified is whether it was a Boeing or Airbus flying over or who's satellite it was (Russia, US etc.) I've seen lots of those but never anything that would make me think any of those things are anything other than a way for an author to make sales.

The truth may be out there but show me the proof. I do believe there are unexplained things floating around in our air space but who knows exactly what they are? It's folly to believe we are the only beings in the universe and many UFOs may be visitors from out there but who knows for sure?

You want to know how long I've been watching the sky? I keep log books! Over my 50 years of observingthe sky, I've filled 9 log books with close to 1300 observing sessions, each averaging an hour or two. You're welcome to page through them, but I'll tell you right now that I've never logged a UFO.
