Default Poll: What are UFOs?

Since the closest this forum has to a Paranormal section is "Religion and Philosophy" (come on, what's up with that?), I'm putting this question to you here.

Please read all the choices before selecting the one which fits your view best.

By conventionally explained, I mean UFOs are stars, weather, planes, secret govt projects, hallucinations, etc.

By paranormal phenomena, I mean UFOs are extraterrestrial or interdimensional craft, genuine psychic phenomena, etc.

Please select a "Well-read" option only if you have read some serious research books detailing UFO experiences or waves, or books scientifically debunking UFOs. If your knowledge comes only from popular TV, movies, magazines, etc., do not choose "Well-read".

What are UFO's?
And you got your knowledge about UFOs out of secret pirate tv-stations?

Or maybe the unpopular intarweb...


I for my part think they are simply time travel devices.

why should they travel back in time and watch us, you ask?

because they can.

I object, all the great UFO fanboys are "Well-read" and will no everything about their nonsense. Best i have seen is either obviously hoax or little blips on videos and photos. Also, with modern cellphones, the amount of sighting ought to be exploding.
And i really do not have time to become "well-read".

Boy you guys are quick - I didn't even get the poll in. I was debating whether to make it multiple choice, but decided on single choice with multiple dimensions.

As for your well-read objection - that's not necessarily true. There are 'fanboys' as well as debunkers, and both are often quite well read.

And time travellers would fall under paranormal (interdimensional craft).

I'll reserve my views for now - I'm interested to see how the forum participants view this.

So go ahead and vote.

I know it would be interdimensional but why would it be a paranormal phenomena?

UFOs are time travellers from the future and the past. Humanity has always had time travel, and all their knowledge has always been there. No-one of the time-traveler society has ever had a single idea, wrote a single story, made a single movie. It all just was there, the future send it to the past.

So, no-one decided that Earth would become a time-reserve, for one billion years. We live in this time-reserve, and are sometimes visited by the time-traveler society. They greatly admire our history, however violent, and they also love our art and craftsmanship, for it is the only thing truly man-made.

Just for the sake of simplicity, dividing into conventional and paranormal. Maybe that's not the ideal word but I think you get the idea.

That's pretty clever! I've always been a sucker for time travel stories and movies. I saw the movie "Next" recently - pretty well done.

So do you UFO = time travel folk believe all of these time travelers are terrestrial (of Earth origin)? Human? Evolved humans? Or are there immigrants from other star systems (or other origins) involved?

Actually the spaceships are unmanned. They have sensors good enough for virtual reality of all the existing species.

Earth at this time is sort of a time-reserve within a time reserve. The previous human civilization got very advanced and was met by the existing multi-species civilization. That human civilization moved about one billion year in the future to allow the earth to be time-reserve for that time, with minimal messing up of the fossil record.
However, humans already existed before they evolved. Humans are one of the species who have an apparent origin. Most "alien" species have an apparent origin too, but a few do not seem to have an origin at all. Strangely enough, the Dublis seem to have two apparent origins on two totally different planets, with totally different evolutions. There are more pets who also seem to have multiple apparent origins.
