It’s time for a random thought and time to steer away from pandemic madness.<\/p>\n

Here it comes …<\/p>\n

I walked into my backyard the other evening. The sky over Princeton was clear. I looked up and saw two blinking lights. I don’t know what they were. It was dark, man! I couldn’t discern the source of the lights.<\/p>\n

The random thought? Were they unidentified flying objects?<\/em> Yes, I submit. They were.<\/p>\n

Which brings me to the point of this mindlessness: When are UFOs no longer UFOs? Which brings me to another point: If I see a UFO and I determine that it is a vessel that has flown to Earth from some extraterrestrial location, is that a UFO? Of course not! I will have identified it as a space ship from some other place.<\/p>\n

Thus, I fear we have misapplied the term “UFO” to mean something that it shouldn’t mean. UFOs from beyond our solar system aren’t UFOs if we know what they are.<\/em><\/p>\n

OK, I’m now done with this random thought.<\/p>\n

The pandemic craziness remains to occupy my worrying moments.<\/p>\n\n
