Aliens...What's the Deal!

In the past few days this is what has happened: Obama received his Nobel Peace Prize, we have a new Health Care proposal that most likely will go nowhere, more troops are being deployed, Tiger Woods blah blah blah... OH and yesterday the Spiraling ring that was lingering in the Norway skies.

Yes you read that correctly, the spiraling ring in the Norway sky which is being dubbed the "Norway Spiral."

So let me clear about something, I love Sci Fi. Many people love Sci Fi and the question I ask is why do we love it so much? Is it because it expands our imagination? A look into the unknown? What makes us so intrigued with the concept of Alien's and mystery?

There are many arguments to why the simple mystery and possible mythology of Alien's intrigue us, but I can't get into that right now. What I want to know is Why don't we spend more time covering mystery (like the Norwegian Spiral) on the news. We are so consumed with our pop culture we are missing out on some random light event.

I wish I turned on the news and instead of seeing the same old story about this week's Biggest Loser I'd like to see something on anomalies in the sky. News stories could even be incorporated on Facebook or Twitter or any other social network to get people talking about this stuff. We have things happening above us on our planet.... WAIT. I'm about to go on a Sci Fi rant right now, I just caught myself.
