I was reading the paper this morning, two young men saw a strange sight in the sky over Flint. Quoted from the Flint Journal:

But Denzel Washington did -- something as long as five cars, as wide as two vehicles, that hovered in the sky without making a noise and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Then I see that Denver is having UFO problems as well.

Are we doomed or are we saved?

Depends... I, for one, welcome our alien overlords...

If you lived at 56th and Quay, would you be nervous, excited or get out a geiger counter?

It is probably some dude playing with his own quad rotor copter.

Well, you don't get much worse than Flint, so if that was their only stop (I'd want to GTFO, too), they probably think we're doomed.

You'd think they'd go looking for Richard Dreyfuss rather than Denzel Washington.

As long as they give my family a ride before strip mining the earth, I'm cool with it.

We are gullible. Saw a good video a few months ago where these guys had strapped some lights to a hoola-hoop looking deal and made an electric multi-rotor R/C contraption out of it, then hovered it 40 or 50 feet over a bar district somewhere (I want to say Denver.) People FREAK. Because it's totally silent, and all you see are the lights, it could easily be the size of a car and much further away. THEN SUDDENLY, IT VANISHES!!! (they turn the lights off and slowly bring it back down to the ground.)

The "believers" are cute, but is it really logical that these supposed creatures that are vastly more technologically advanced than us and obviously don't want to be seen or captured put freakin' shiny lights all over their spaceships?
