No. Could you tell me more, please. What do you know about UFOs?

Not much. I knew a mechanic once, a real boots on the ground nuts'n'bolts type. He told me a story about when his street witnessed lights in the sky. Early 80's, he was a teenager, and lights outside brought out people, quite a few neighbours. They watched this lights for some minutes, fly around seemingly move far away and closer up, make turns that appeared to ignore inertia, join up and then split up into three doing their thing. Then they all joined up and shot off beyond sight and a much greater speed. THat's it.

Yet IIRC from my time in Cologne..........everywhere was absolutely flattened with the exception of the, very beautiful I may add, cathedral....reason being it could act as a landmark for navigation....but then again I am not even sure targetting equipment would have been that accurate at the time.

eta an interesting link:

It can't hurt the odds of it surviving that they were really inaccurate and that any old cathedral I've seen is massively thick walled. While the roof might burn they could take quite some hits and survive, as St Paul and koln did. Others such as ones in Berlin or Coventry didn't fare as well.
