It just finished. Seems like tomorrow they are going to have a meeting between a number of countries to discuss UFO's, and basically to establish its something VERY real. Also, I find it funny how they had 4 or 5 believers and only ONE skeptic.

I also found another thing intersting. The man who said the UFO landed in the woods and he walked around it for 45 minutes and actually touched it is quite interesting. I mean if he is telling the truth, what could of it been? And if hes lieing, then hes just an ********. There was TONS of anecdotal evidence, but thats about it!

The real mystery, it seems to me, is not UFOs but rather how Larry King manages to keep his job, or indeed, even has a job at all. He is one of the most inept and awful interviewers I have ever seen.

Self feeding media grind, King has the big name, other big names want to be on the big name show. No one cares how crappy a job he does as long as he has the big name.

It's all about ratings. Larry King brings these sensational stories on the air because it boosts ratings. As long as people are interested he'll keep his job. Even the skeptics who watch are helping him keep his job.
