Flight sims' lack of UFOs and pilot synchronicity

Aviation has been something that has had a influence on my life for a long time. My father is a major aviation buff and my best friend is a pilot. Because of both of them I've seen and played a number of flight simulators, most recent being Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X on my 360. Over the years I've noticed something that only someone with my interests would notice in flight sims and that is a disturbing lack of UFO sightings. There are never UFO sightings in flight sims. It's like the whole simulating airplane flight thing has gotten as real in simulators as possible, but they left out the idea of seeing UFOs.

Aside from that, I've been contemplating getting myself financial aid and going through the flight training program at the local community college. Partly because I think it'd be fun and also because I feel I need a career move. Oddly these thoughts have been accompanied by two weird bits of synchronicity today. The first one was that when my wife went and checked out the web page for the aviation program I'm going to look into, low and behold my best friend who went through it, had his picture next to a plane on there. The second was that I mentioned the idea to coworker today only to find out he is going through the program. It was truly like weird.

Autumnforest of Ghost Hunting Theories once said in a comment on another synchronicity post of mine "I usually look at those serendipitious events as an exclamation point -- a sign I'm following the right path.", so I wonder if today's synchronicities were saying that to me.
