We at Club Galahad have never been big UFO buffs. Some people devote their entire lives to the search for extraterrestrial life in the form of alien beings zipping around in flying saucers, and that’s fine. Who knows… maybe, as they used to say on the hit TV show X-Files, the truth is out there. We probably wouldn’t be shocked either way.
What we can say for certain is that the phenomenon of UFO sightings, which dates back thousands of years, is at least interesting. In some cases, it’s actually pretty educational. As this fun little slideshow from our friends at MSNBC shows us, UFO sightings have even led the U.S. government to information about Russian missile programs and improving our own communications systems.
And let’s not forget: UFOs have changed the way some of us look at mashed potatoes.
There’s a wealth of information out there on UFO sightings, theories, and even hoaxes. Not surprisingly, they range from somewhat credible to downright laughable. If you feel tempted to start falling down that rabbit-hole, it might be wise to start with Wikipedia and go from there. Whatever you do, please go easy on the mashed potatoes.
