"What does science fiction have to do with it? Furthermore, what does "where they land" have to do with it? Don't be vague, please."

Because most UFO experiance stories read like BAD sci-fi.

Where they land becuase if I had traveled light years to visit a planet I would not choose to then land in remote areas of little interest.

Genetic material gathering.....the manystories regarding alians interest in us as a source for that for one reason or another

Who they choose........I do not recall ever reading seeing or hearing a story about Nobel Laureates being abducted. Only people who appear to have mental health issues beyond kust the belief they were contacted.

Belief in UFO encounters is widespread. But people believe in many foolish things. The Philadelphia Experiment, Scientology, the heavens Gate Cult, Rev. Jim Jones, you name it and there is always a new sucker waiting.

Firstly, kudos for actually coming back to respond. I appreciate that.

Secondly, your comments:

"Because most UFO experiance stories read like BAD sci-fi."

Most that you've read, I would wager is more accurate. I'd up that wager with the idea that I've most likely read more accounts than you have. Some are indeed Alice-in-Wonderland loonfests. Some are grounded reports from grounded people.

"Where they land becuase if I had traveled light years to visit a planet I would not choose to then land in remote areas of little interest."

A common criticism. We don't often know the motivations of our terrestrial "aliens", what is logical about thinking we can guess our way into knowing what a true alien is trying to hide?

"Genetic material gathering.....the manystories regarding alians interest in us as a source for that for one reason or another."

Or to see how we react to being violated in a most basic way, and manipulated. The genetic collections may have more purpose than gathering material. The Nazi's had Mengele, Saddam had Dr. Germ and Al Douri, the aliens (if real) have whomever they have. Sometimes medical experiments have both physical and psychological goals.

"Who they choose........I do not recall ever reading seeing or hearing a story about Nobel Laureates being abducted."

But you do have stockbrokers, homemakers, engineers, families coming home from church, and a myriad of other folks who are claimants of visits. Social strata, income level, education, or race don't seem to matter. The "Bubba/Bubbette in the trailer park" is stereotype.

"Only people who appear to have mental health issues beyond kust the belief they were contacted."

That's just plain nasty and illogical. What's next, "they're mainly jewish"? Come on, that's lame.

"Belief in UFO encounters is widespread. But people believe in many foolish things. The Philadelphia Experiment, Scientology, the heavens Gate Cult, Rev. Jim Jones, you name it and there is always a new sucker waiting."

As I said earlier, not all of us who wonder about such things are Heaven Gaiters or Raelians. We deal with the world as it is, and leave fantasy to the nutballs.
