Thoughts on Monsters and UFOs
I'm skeptical about sightings in general, not that people see something, just that most probably have a rational (and boring) explanation. Things like Bigfoot, and the chupacabra, if they exist, are likely an aberation of something already in existence, (like a wildman, or "sub-human", in Sasquatch's case, and a feral dog or similar in the case of the chupacabra)
I think Nessie is a complete myth, probably one of the early tourist attractions, but of course quite fun to believe in or hope for.... but outer space is alot bigger than Loch Ness, and theres no telling whats floating around out there, and what (or who) is trolling the space around Earth, and who, (if anyone) might be checking us out.
So far, one of the best arguments about scientific evidence versus UFOs comes from one of the astronomers involved with the Very Large Array (VLA) and other projects involved in listening to signals from space. One said something like: "Do you really think we would be investing all this time, money and energy on listening for signals if we thought there was any credible scientific evidence that we were already being visited by extraterrestrials? Our work would be instantly obsolete."
I gotta admit he had a pretty good point.
