I 'question' the "unquestionable".. The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable, to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, and challenge the unchallengeable.

Close inspection usually revealed them to be hot air balloons or airplanes of fairly mundane kinds, though once it was an actual jet fighter overflying the area for some reason. I am fairly sure the remaining unidentified ones were also fairly mundane.

I am fairly sure > the remaining unidentified ones were also fairly mundane. By UFO, I meant...a Flying Saucer. Have you've ever seen a flying saucer? A UFO is a flying saucer. If you do a Google image search for UFO...you get http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&source=imghp&q=ufo&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= flying saucers. Not balloons, not airplanes, but flying saucers. You're up in the air more than anybody else, don't tell me you've never seen a 'flying saucers'! http://www.google.com/images?q=ufo&hl=en&gbv=2&tbs=isch:1&ndsp=20&imgtype=i_similar&sa=X&ei=Rw9CTMrnLoK-sQOTprSaDA&ct=img-sim-l&oi=image_sil&resnum=1&tbnid=6EfRNsSdpddZOM: Don't tell me a wingnut never seen a flying saucer.
