Mind's Eye UFO's: Fact or Fantasy?

I've been around for a while now, so I thought I'd put in a topic for
discussion. I'm very interested in the UFO phenomenon and wonder what
the singing minds here have to say about it. As for me, I don't have a
dog in this fight --I tend to think that there's something to them,
something very unusual, but I'm not at all certain that they're even
piloted. Jacques Valee, one of the more interesting theorists on the
subject, says that they're something like external dreams. Well, he
doesn't say that exactly, but that's how I interpret him. Carl Jung, who
was also very interested in the topic, says something very similar.

I have an experience to relate, too. About fifteen or sixteen years
ago, I was flying down to Las Vegas on Southwest. Looking out of my
window I saw, perhaps 20,000 feet below us, a disc-shaped object. It was
featureless and, in the bright sun and from this angle, almost perfectly
white. It wasn't particularly fast and other than the fact that it was
round, it wasn't all that interesting. I told my three travel mates, and
they all basically called me a liar. (I was very interested in occult
topics in those days, so my judgment was highly suspect.) I'm not
convinced that it wasn't something like a military test craft or
something like that, but it was a UFO both in the high woo woo sense and
in the sense that it was an unfamiliar flying object. Anyway, that's my
story and I'm sticking to it.

Tennis, anyone?
