Maybe Goodspaceguy is right
I've been mocking the 'sci-fi philosophy', the common story line where the aliens get tired of humans making war, so the aliens invade and give us a choice: Stop fighting or we'll eliminate you from the universe.
Now some declassified British info leads me to wonder. Sometime in 1944, RAF pilots encountered very convincing UFOs while flying over Europe; the aircraft were so unearthly that Churchill made a special trip to America to discuss them with FDR.
Churchill was the precise opposite of a flighty academic theorist. He was the most hard-nosed pragmatist who ever ruled a country. He also had access to the best available intel about Kraut and Nip technology, so he could eliminate those possibilities.
If Churchill was impressed by these craft, I'd say they were genuine. ¶ 5:27 AM
