Spielberg Confused By Decrease In Ufo Sightings
2005-06-28
Oscar-winning director STEVEN SPIELBERG is baffled that fewer UFO sightings are made now than were made twenty years ago - because the technology to record would-be aliens is so commonplace today. The 59-year-old film-maker has made a string of alien-themed movies - CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, ET: THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL and WAR OF THE WORLDS - and is disappointed it seems he'll never get the chance to see evidence of a UFO himself.
Spielberg says, "There are millions of video cameras out there and they're picking up less videos of UFOs, alleged UFOs, than we picked up in the 1970s and 1980s. There's 150 per cent more cameras, so why are we getting less from up there?
Huuummmm, maybe because they weren't there in the first place?
"I think that we all know that we're not alone in the universe. I can't imagine that we are the only intelligent biological life form out there. I'm a little less sure in my fifties that I was in my late twenties whether we're actually ever going to find out."
That's OK, Steve, just stick to the movie biz. We'll let you know when the Mothership arrives.

#11  I'm reminded of the cartoon of two aliens, talking to each other hovering over earth in their spaceship saying, "yeah, they're still fighting among themselves"
Sigh....

Whaddya mean "we," kemosabe?

You've made it quite clear in recent years that YOU aren't intelligent, Steverino. And I'm beginning to wonder about the "biological life form" part, too.

But you can invite it to sit next to Jimmah Carter at the DNC Convention.

#8  We will never meet Aliens even if they exist. Those who are able to travel to earth would be so incredibly superior that we would be like amoebia to them.

You don't talk to amoebia

#7  Its all part of the Bushchimp plan for universe domination. Its the new missle defence shield and all of that weaponize space stuff. The trully inlightened aliens who would have just tomorrow gave us all to the next plain exept the evil bush-hitler just scared them off with his evil Neo conservative warmongoring aliance to solidify the US as the only Dominator of the Earth.

We are not. They saw, they vomited, they left.

#2  Fewer UFO sightings than in the '70s and '80s?

Perhaps they saw what was going on tin the '90s and decided they'd pass on earth?

The aliens probably took a look at the movie showtimes, saw "Herbie" was still playing and gave up on us.
