Not really that far fetched of an idea if you think about it... remote robotic exploration is proving to be quite feasible (space and deep sea)... it is pretty much required to overcome our temporal frailties. Experimental research on transportation and propulsion devices has been heavily funded for some time now. There is no reason to believe that this research isn't firmly on the fringes of theoretical science. What if UFO's are nothing more than experimental quantum drive craft? Quantum mechanics says simultaneous up/down/neutral. A drive system based on this model should not just allow a craft to exist every where at once, but every when as well. Cross time sightings should be a reasonable expectation and would nicely validate the postulate that time also has 3 dimensions as described in Larson's Reciprocal System (btw, thanks for posting that Hoyt). Have you ever seen the movie "Contact"? Not the greatest cinematography of out time but always struck a chord with me as how we as humans may evolve space travel. Since we are relatively too short lived and delicate to bring Mohamed to the mountain, we develop technology to bring the mountain to Mohamed. We essentially become the "alien" culture as described in the movie, never to physically leaving our planet to explore space/time. -john
