     The UFO craze is about to take center stage once again this summer.
     Hollywood is releasing a new 'X-Files' movie, surely have theater-goers asking 'What is out there?'. 
     The answers are indeed out there, but if you know anything about the old TV series, the movie won't provide any.
     Don't look for the answers in the United Kingdom.
     UFO sightings have doubled there since the film 'Close Encounters' was released in 1977.
     In files released yesterday, Britain's Ministry of Defense has dismissed 90% of UFO reports as having mundane explanations, and has given the other 10% a big, fat question mark.
     As for the Catholic community, well, there's now some good news.
     The Vatican's top astronomer, and scientific adviser to The Pope is now saying that it's OK to believe in space aliens.
     ABC sports anchor Don Coyne has more on this new religious awakening...

The governments of our world have never wanted to accept the alien presence nor the benefits of the supernatural conditions that could exist here on earth as it has been in heaven. We (world governments) fear the concept of eternity and living forever. It would ruin the viscous cycle of constant death and rebirth of the naturally evil physical world. Physical married to the eternal is not against god. In fact, it is his purpose and his will. Read your Bible. They are coming whether you like it

Doesn't it sort of denounce god to say there are aliens.

What Do You Think of the State's New Ability to Track Illegal Immigrants?

  • I Like it, illegal immigrants are finding work easily while I rot in line at the unemployment office
  • Bad Idea, These people are taking sub-minimum wage jobs anyway and actual citizens are getting snared in this E-Verify system
