Yes. Everyone wonders this. And some set out to capture good photos of
UFOs. 
The best photos are debunked and the ones that can't be debunked or 
explained become the stuff of legend.

We'll know the answer to your question as soon as good proof starts coming

UFOs. That's what I do now.  A new show every friggin week and $1000/month

electrical bills for the render farm.

They're real enough for me!
