30. Of course UFOs exist, they are unidentified flying objects...
That does NOT however make them alien spacecraft. Have you ever noticed that the most credible claims of UFO sightings usually happen in areas around air bases? Don't think this is a coincidence, these aircrafts need some place to launch from and they are not launching from Mars.
