When you consider the relative size of the US and the UK, or even the US and France, it seems the US is spending a lot less for its size than the others.
With Iraq, Afghanistan, Darfur, Hamas in Palestine, Iran teetering potentially on the edge of a nuclear conflict, and GW Bush's war on trrr, I'd hardly call Earth mature.
What is the ratio of military spending to UFO sightings per country?
It's kind of like that Season 8 episode with the aerospace CEO.

That is the exploration that awaits you�not mapping stars and studying nebulae, but charting the unknown possibilities of existence-Q Church: I learned a very valuable lesson in my travels, Tucker. No matter how bad things might seem... Caboose: They could be worse? Church: Nope, no matter how bad they seem, they can't be any better, and they can't be any worse, because that's the way things f***ing are, and you better get used to it Nancy. Quit-yer-b****ing.

Obvious question: Have you ever personally seen a UFO?
Only once, it was a pair of lights dancing about in the sky about two or three thousand feet up, making very sudden right angle turns etc. I don't know what it could have been, but I don't put much stock in it being extra terrrestrial, they seemed pretty clumsy.

My grandfather had three sightings of objects darting around in previously unheard of maneuvers in the 80's, but he lived near an airforce base. The military was probably testing new aircraft.
noooo...Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica and Firefly are the only true geek holy trinity
Ah, but Star Wars and Star Trek are older and have a bigger fanbase. Only Star Trek is 'dead' (I'm not one of those people that thinks TPTB should just drop the franchise, even if Viacom has mutilated it over the years). Also, you have to remember that the Star Wars TV series *moans in uncertainty* is in the works.
