When it comes to intriguing quotes of the UFO variety made by famous and influential individuals, there are certain ones that very often spring to mind. I’m thinking, for example, about things like (a) US President Ronald Reagan’s comments about how an alien threat would unite the Human Race; (b) the profound words of NASA astronaut Gordon Cooper, who went on record as stating: “I believe that these extraterrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets, which are a little more technically advanced than we are on Earth;” and (c) US Senator Barry Goldwater’s statements about being denied access to the alleged “Blue Room” at Wright-Patterson, Air Force Base.
