The UFO question was unfair, unrelated, and a complete waste of valuable time that could have been used to address important issues. I have seen UFO's, my Republican father has seen UFO's, tens of thousands have reported them, and it is ridiculous to argue against the existence of that which is not identified. The important thing is that Dennis Kucinich believes in the United States of America, he has the experience to lead, and he shares the values of those who want real change. I thought Tim Russert had personal integrity, but in this example, he clearly let down the public and made himself look foolish. Get real America, our country's future lies in the balance. </b> I have to agree with what someone else said:

These are unthinking people. Do they really believe the we humans are the only life in the entire universe? How arrogant and 15th century. Kucinich didn't say he saw little green men. He didn't say God spoke to him like our president did. He saw an object flying in the sky he couldn't identify, hence the term unidentified flying object - UFO. And the thing is, he didn't lie about it. But the the great clueless out there call him crazy. This is why Bush is the president.

Also there is life out there besides Earth, most scientists believe that too, so while its far fetched to think intelligent life would come here, its not impossible. Frankly, I would hope a president one day has the guts to increase funding to find life outside of earth and find new places we can colonize. Some of you just need to grow up and use your heads.

Watch the documentary channels' UFO specials. When they bring in ex-military or aviation contractors, they'll say that experimental or secret military aircraft (like the SR-71, F-117 and other planes we didn't want our enemies to know about) are often described by those without clearance as Unidentified Flying Objects, because that's the only way they can be described. UFO does not equal alien spaceship, but it's certainly a good smokescreen for top secret development and flights. Now if he said he saw a UFO that landed on his lawn and it had little green aliens with tentacles staring at him through the windows, then I'd have to wonder... Big deal.

He said that he saw an unidentified flying object. He didn't claim it was full of little green Martians or anything like that. He just said he saw something he couldn't identify. I saw a UFO once. It was simply a flying object that was pretty different from planes I'd seen before and to this day I still don't know for sure what it was. I doubt it was anything extraterrestrial, it was probably a military test plane or something but it was by definition a UFO. Lots of people have seen things like that and it shouldn't disqualify anyone for the position of President. There is nothing to criticize here. He said that he saw an unidentified flying object.

They also seem to have failed to miss what Kucinich said previously to the UFO account. The whole night, he was the only candidate candid enough and ballsy enough to stick to his word and lay his policies on the table. There is no doubt in my mind that MSNBC used this question as a way to skew his debate and his personal views. Can't believe the biased media that goes on in this country.

If you look up in the sky and see something that you don't recognize as a plane or a star or anything else in your internal database of knowledge, then it is an object, it's flying in some way, and you can't identify it. Whether or not there is an earthly explanation is another thing altogether. But, it is a UFO. Now, concerning whether or not it is an alien craft, or whether life even exists on other planets, is another issue altogether. But, the best evidence for life on other planets is that there is life here on earth. I don't know if any of that alien life has visited us, but it would be tremendously ego-centric to believe that we are the only life in the universe.
