UFO/ET/alien visitation talk has legs.

[Axxman300]

I predicted years ago with the advent of high res digital cameras that reported anomalies would increase while others said the better quality would lead to less reports because more objects could be identified.

Of course both of things can be and are true.

While very piece of 9/11 nonsense can and is demonstrated to be such, people will always see stuff in the sky that they can't identify.

There was a great line, the source I can no longer recall, that said the downside of everyone having a camera on the phone is the proliferation of lousy photographs.

"Look, I took a picture of an alien spaceship!" *shows picture of blurry white dot in night sky*.

Declining 9/11 Truther activity is discussed in a thread topic here.

Dissimilarly, I notice

UFO/ET/alien visitation topics and speculations apparently remain popular with some.

What gives it legs?

I think that is much like the 'Scarecrow' said in the film The Wizard of Oz:

"Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking!"
