I thought that in the future (definitely by now) that humans would have landed on Mars, a Bigfoot would be captured and on display in the Smithsonian, The Loch Ness Monster was nearing the end of its elusiveness through scientific surveys (as seen in Leonard Nimoy's In Search Of), and surely by now we would have had a UFO event not too dissimilar than that depicted in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Sadly I have to report that none of this has happened.
Right now I am hoping for a zombie apocalypse to happen. I see that as technology has taken over humanity so we are kindof there already. If aliens do land, I am going with them..
