The yanks seem to be shooting down a lot of UFO's lately, there's even talk of space ships and extra-terrestrials in some quarters! I must say that I'm slightly skeptical that an alien species could be intelligent enough to figure out near light speed travel to cross the vast void between our planet and theirs but then allow themselves to be caught and shot down by a fighter jet burning fossil fuel and crawling along at a mere 700 mph.
Still, we shouldn't be too complacent, I'm put in mind of this little passage..
“And yet, across the gulf of space
Minds immeasurably superior to ours
Regarded this Earth with envious eyes
And slowly and surely, they drew their plans against us.”
