I'm now finding myself interested in UFO's. Who knows if they're real -- I don't think it matters! It just seems like they'd be such cool things, if they were to exist. Is anyone here at all who thinks it'd be fun to imagine a UFO with me? Anyone at all? Maybe even just share with me why they think they'd be cool too? Anyone?

I once read about this pilot who was applying for a job in commercial traffic. The interviewer had asked him if he believed in UFOs and he said "no". "Well, that's all for now" the interviewer said and walked out. The guy was left there sitting, wondering about what he said wrong, until the interviewer had to come back in and say "UFO means Unidentified Flying Objects. They can be anything (meaning from weather balloons and stealth planes to alien aircrafts). Now do you believe in them?"

I've seen one once. Actaully there were two of them, and they were flying across the sky like two playful flies.

"I'm now finding myself interested in UFO's. Who knows if they're real -- I don't think it matters!"
Then why are you asking the question if you sincerely feel it matters not? Am not understanding.
"It just seems like they'd be such cool things ... who thinks it'd be fun to imagine a UFO with me? "
Are you referring to interstellar craft? Or simply objects airborn & unclear as to what they are? No, personally imagining either does not particularly interest me to be honest.
"Anyone at all? Maybe even just share with me why they think they'd be cool too? Anyone?"
No thinking to it. They are "cool".

Flies it is. Flies do seem to help me imagine what it'd be like to be a UFO of the outer-space-alien sort. They can fly like regular planes or like helicopters, at their whims! And they have huge eyes relative to their bodies, which work very well if my complete inability to catch them with my hands is any measure.
One thing I find interesting about flies is that they don't seem to play much. I've seen them getting into little fly tizzies, but it seems to be an ego / territorial thing. It seems like if I were a fly, I'd play all day, with others or by myself.
Another interesting thing is that although apparently flies can fly almost anywhere any way they want, the ones at least in my patio tend to just fly in squares and rectangles over and over and over and over. I can only guess this gives them a sense of control and order in the totally open, enormous universe. And a sense of comraderie, since others are flying in squares and rectangles in their own spaces around them. In my patio.
I saw a show, on the Discovery channel I think, about flies. About how scientists are studying the hell out of 'em -- how they fly so well, etc., etc. And here I smash them with my swatter sometimes! I'm sure the scientists have all the flies they need, but still, I'm swatting something that apparently is magnificent! That may hold secrets we have yet to learn.
I wonder how big flies would have to be, or how good their meat would have to be, for people to be compelled to shoot them down with guns. And what if they actually wandered here from another planet? And had big scary metallic beetle-esque shells? I wonder if we would bomb them in the air, before they could land on that rock by the ocean and rotting fish, before they could share their magnificent aviation secrets with us that could allow us to visit their planet someday too if we wanted to. I bet we would.
