He's almost a millionaire and gets $25k an episode for
Pawn Stars. Does better than the talkers for actual work
done. Probably smarter too.


I'm glad there's a show you like with a "star" you admire.
Pawn Stars and Boating All Out...a perfect match.

There is a pretty active UFO group in the north east too.

I am not a "alien encounter" believer but if you stare at the sky very
long you will see something you can't identify.

I think there are more sightings and reports in rural areas, simply
because there are more military operations there and the people are
not as well informed.
Military aircraft in the crowded airspaces around metropolitan areas
act in a very orderly manner.
When you get out in the boonies, they do strange stuff.
Back when RSW first opened (the Ft Myers airport) they only had a few
dozen flights a day and there might be an hour or more without a plane
in the pattern.
We could get a free air show from the military pilots who used the
runway for practice "touch and goes" and other tricks.
They also did low passes at high speed over the beach areas. Sonic
booms were regular occurrences as they cranked it up to get back to
Pensacola, Eglin or Tyndall by dinner time.
Now that the RSW pattern is full most of the day, we don't see them
much anymore.

Major metro areas in the Northeast could not see a UFO at night as they can
not see the stars either. Lots of light pollution.

My dad was working with a group of guys about a half dozen I think back
in the early 60's when they had an "encounter". The first folks on the
scene were US Navy, they kept the group over night and really threatened
them if they ever said anything.. It was in a very industrial area of
East Hartford CT, just about two miles outside of the City, near Pratt
and Whitney Aircraft, but this encounter was at a rail dock a couple
miles from there. Active "saucer", 50 feet above the ground. I remember
the night (or day, it was night shift) he came home but he never really
said too much about it.

There are a lot of military fighter jets flying out of the Key West
area. They do many low altitude pusuit maneuvers that are quite
dramatic to watch.

We docked our yacht at Bluewater Key for a week and were visited by
those guys about twice a day. The appeared to be louder than the F18s
the Angels fly. The first run, of a session, over our little peninsula
was quite a surprise. Much like when one of the Angels breaks of and
sneaks up on the audience from the rear at 100 ft.

Yes, and if you see them in the right light, it doesn't look like
anything you've ever seen!

Tell me the whole point of your post wasn't to stir up Just wait and you
can have your choirboy status back.

There's no question that there are intelligent species on other planets
in other solar systems, but there's no reason to believe that species
more intelligent and civilized than ours would want to come here for a
visit.

On the other hand, one crystal clear night in the 1960s just west of
Eudora, Kansas, while driving on K-10 highway, we saw what we thought
was a meteor streaking across the sky and then...it abruptly changed
direction. Creepy.
