Presidential Debates Drown Out UFO news

All UFO-related attention in the media is turned to last night's Presidential debates where a candidate was asked about a UFO. Hundreds of stories have popped up as a result. None of which are about people's encounters about UFOs but about more about national policy, government attitudes and presidential capability. There are many comments in the on-line responses about peoples feelings. It is the intersection of politics and the unknown, and fundamental beliefs are involved with both political agendas as people's partisan feelings come out and complicated feelings and attitudes about UFOs, rather than UFOs themselves. The old saying about not discussing politics or religion in polite conversation comes to the fore, and the passion that people bring in their comments in the various responses to the online stories is quite visible, but not particularly different than the standard comments that can be seen on any web site about UFOs. So alternatively, we offer a less controversial article on the debate about what not to discuss as we sit in the pumpkin patch waiting for an ethereal visit of another kind:


So, in the absence of a detailed analysis of the debates which is already in progress, here is a Halloween type item: the alien abduction lamp, which while not UFO news in the purest sense, is what is offered today as something fresh, if not completely serious since it features an interchangeable cow or human in a plastic cone to illuminate the darkness:
