A good reason is to test reconnaisance procedures with the aircraft, and there is more stuff to look at over ground than over sea.

they would have to fly over coastal (more populated) areas to get there, also theres a risk of crash with no recovery (of what would be somewhat expensive stuff).

Of course they were UFO's. They were apparently flying, and obviously unidentified. Anything you see in the sky that you can't put a name to is an Unidentified Flying Object.

a quick probability lesson...

lets assume that we are the only planet with life in a galaxy of 100,000,000 stars

1/100,000,000 = .000000001

now if there are a 1,000,000,000 galaxies in a star system

.000000001 x 1,000,000,000 = 10

now if there are a 1,000,000,000 star systems in our universe

10 x 1,000,000,000 = 10,000,000,000

possible places with life on them.



ok ok the numbers are stupid, but that was just to make a point...i had a astronomy class once where my professor explained something like that and it sounded a lot better hehehe...i forget all of the levels too, so perhaps someone a little better in astronomy can explain...

CNN has picked up the story:

Well I forgot the math part to it, but yeah the probability that there is life on other planets, is quite good. So yes there is life beyond this planet (reminds me of tiesto for some reason) but I just can't help but be skeptical about that mexico incident.

You skipped the most important part of it. The chance that a world will be suitable for life to evolve on it. Which is fairly stupid, because we're assuming life can only develop based on our composition and environment. They only consider carbon-based life forms.

true...like i said i just threw that up quick to make a point hehehe...please feel free to make a better version..

No need to make up anything. It's all right there. The equation is a little ways down.

As I said before, that's called Carl Sagan's 1% rule, except he did it better

oh did you say that...i didn't read the last couple of pages ehehehe...and there is NO WAY Carl Sagan explained that better than me
