Basically, the question you ask boils down to the title of this thread which is:
Why do you think that the
origin of UFOs is Extra-terrestrial?
And I say that if most people were really honest with themselves they would come out and admit that its because Hollywood told them so, and nothing more. This is pretty much the sole reason why many equate the term "unidentified flying object" with extraterrestrial. They literally have no evidence to show for it beyond their own preconceived notions that came from Hollywood in the first place. I'm a Christian, but I don't think I've ever seen anything that I can truly call unidentified and I don't trust so called UFO footage either as anything can be faked these days, and there are a lot of con men out there. I do however, know some people that claim to have seen a "UFO", but that's about it. The term 'Unidentified Flying Object' should mean exactly that, something that can't be identified. It doesn't mean "alien", "demon", or anything else.
The abduction reports, however, is another subject entirely and should be treated as such. After many years of looking at this subject, I can say with absolute certainly that nothing at all about the beings people claim to have had an actual encounter with is "E.T" but an absolute demonic manifestation, and for the majority of the people that do have this experiences, had they not been engaging in the occult, they wouldn't have had the encounter in the first place, because when you engage in the occult you are asking to be contacted, and these people have no idea what they are truly dealing with. Magic is not just some push a button and get a candy bar type of universal method. It is a way to invite dangerous beings in your life that would like to control and manipulate you.edit on 4-11-2012 by BlackManINC because: (no reason given)

No, you can't blame Hollywood for the creation of the ETH although they have perpetuated it. The ETH has been around since the middle 1800s. Then came Kenneth Arnold, Charles Fort, etc. But since more people went to the movies and were affected by the big screen more so than by newspapers and books, it makes it look like Hollywood was the primary force.

Your being christian is not a factor in UFOlogy. UFOs are in our reality. Religion is in your mind. You are missing out on a lot of wonderful photos, films, videos showing that there is something seen in the skies which no one can explain. Sure, fakes are part of the "movement" but so was the Piltdown Man hoax, perhaps the most famous paleoanthropological hoax ever to have been perpetrated.

You can't say that the alleged aliens that are responsible for alleged abductions are religious manifestation. Religious creatures exist only in the mind, not out here with cars and subways and hot dogs. Reports of such manifestations come only from the religious. I'm an atheist and I've never read or heard of an atheist reporting such experiences, including ghosts.
You need to see how your mentally-conditioned state is not the most peaceful way to enjoy life.

Travis is the real deal, if you wish to question him you can do so directly. He is not unapproachable. He is well aware of ATS as well.. just so you know.

I've seen 2 large dark greyish orbs accompanied by a bigger orange "sun colored" orb in Arizona. They seem to like to be at the North end of the city of Phoenix.
