The energy requirements for interstellar travel are so great that it is inconceivable to me that any creatures piloting their ships across the vast depths of space would do so only in order to play games with us over a period of decades. If they want to make contact, they would make contact; if not, they would save their energy and go elsewhere.
ISAAC ASIMOV, Is Anyone There?
The UFO manifestations seem to be, by and large, merely minor variations of the age-old demonological phenomenon.
JOHN A. KEEL, UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse
One theory which can no longer be taken very seriously is that UFOs are interstellar spaceships.
ARTHUR C. CLARKE, New York Times, Jul. 27, 1975
It was the darndest thing I've ever seen. It was big, it was very bright, it changed colors, and it was about the size of the moon. We watched it for ten minutes, but none of us could figure out what it was. One thing's for sure, I'll never make fun of people who say they've seen unidentified objects in the sky. If I become President, I'll make every piece of information this country has about UFO sightings available to the public and the scientists.
JIMMY CARTER, remark during 1976 Presidential campaign
