Stanton Friedman, a nuclear physicist who maintains that some UFOs are alien spacecraft, told nearly 200 delegates during the conference's opening lecture Friday night at the Telus World of Science in Edmonton that journalists and scientists are ignorant of the evidence supporting the fact that interstellar travellers have visited.
Friedman, who believes government covered up an alleged discovery of alien wreckage and bodies in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947, said that many eyewitnesses of UFOs are silenced by a "laughter curtain" and fear ridicule if they report their sightings.
But Jaymie Matthews, an associate professor of astronomy at the University if British Columbia, argued that while he and other scientists have spent years searching the universe for Earth-like planets that would support intelligent life, none have been discovered yet.
"As an astrophysicist, I want there to be aliens here," Matthews told the crowd in his own lecture that followed Friedman's. "I'm not convinced."
Delegates such as David Beatty, a commercial pilot, expressed disgust that believers get marginalized.
"I'm sick and tired of the press covering (UFOs) as just something drunks saw on a beach," Beatty said after hearing Friedman speak.
Beatty said he's seen several things through a cockpit window that he couldn't explain, including a bright orange ball that drifted across the sky once during a flight over Atlantic Canada.

gee willikers batman!
ehehe very intruiging indeed
but intil i have evidence proving in either direction im afraid im a fence sitter!
although i would like to beleive :)
i think theres enough credible evidence out there to sink a battleship, but the mainstream refuses to report or investigate it. or better yet cover it up.
but seriously, like many have mentioned, if you were an advanced civilisation, why would you want to "show yourself" to us? when all we do is find ways to shoot them down, disect them, steal technology to feed a primitive war blood lust, killing everything we interact with, whilst believing in religious figures no more real or provable than a hollow earth theory.
hell if i was ET, id just be sitting back laughing at GW and the impending doom for us all. lets hope some of us make it thru 2012 and maybe we can finally realise our purpose here.
wonder if we will get to mars before 2012? damn id love to solve that Cedonia mystery. although maybe thats already been swept up.

The Cydonia image, truly an interesting.....? Take a look at http://www.enterprisemission.com/mars/papers_1.php?page=paper1 site it is very interesting with many satellite photos.
Beginning in the 1992 Edition of "The Monuments of Mars," they strongly suggested that the Face was NOT merely "a mesa-carved 'Mount Rushmore' … lying on a level Martian plain" -- but something "far more interesting." Fascinating if nothing else.
