Except UFO sightings comprise a large body of data containing a vast number of known false reports and others that appear to be in the same vein with no verified positives despite many concerted efforts to produce such evidence. Here we have a single data point with no positive or negative corroborations. It's like a guy saying he saw a cloud that looks like a python. The cloud's gone now, but other people can watch other clouds and report what they see. -- Edward Elliott UC Berkeley School of Law (Boalt Hall) complangpython at eddeye dot net -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
