- Invariably these sightings are of things way far away. Pray tell, given the
- distances involved and the resolving power of the eye, what else could
- "something", up in the air, reflecting light, look like other then a "metallic
- disk"?? Almost without exception anything way far away that reflects light,
- or absorbs it, is going to look like a "metallic disk" to most people since
- they EXPECT virtually anything they see in the sky, other then clouds, to be
- metallic. And plenty of clouds get reported as UFO's too.
