Hi Terren, so you think there ARE UFOs? just as you think there are those other features you mentioned (or even Telmo's Mongol invasions?) I could question TIME as well (Quentin) in my agnosticism. Our "knowable(??)" world/science is flexible and creative. I would not mix it up with 'reality' what we cannot know for sure. (Please, consider the English ambiguity in this last sentence: A. We cannot know for sure WHAT reality is, - or - B. I cannot mix up time and the other items with reality. )
