Former pilots and officials call for new U.S. UFO probe

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic U.S. presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich may have been ridiculed for saying he had seen a UFO, but for some former military pilots and other observers, unidentified flying objects are no laughing matter.

An international panel of two dozen former pilots and government officials called on the U.S. government on Monday to reopen its generation-old UFO investigation as a matter of safety and security given continuing reports about flying discs, glowing spheres and other strange sightings.

"Especially after the attacks of 9/11, it is no longer satisfactory to ignore radar returns ... which cannot be associated with performances of existing aircraft and helicopters," they said in a statement released at a news conference.

The panelists from seven countries, including former senior military officers, said they had each seen a UFO or conducted an official investigation into UFO phenomena.

4. Looks like Kucinich has started a revolution

Maybe if he doesn't get the nom, he can retire from Congress and work full time on UFO investigations (sort of like how Al Gore went fully into global warming awareness).

5. We had a UFO here in Texas a couple of years ago!

It was down in south Texas somewhere. Witnesses said the flying object closely resembled the face of a prominent lawyer.
Alls well, though. Cheney shot it down!
