Large object above thousands... and only a few reacted.

I was with my buds in Ybor, when I noticed a large craft hovering above us. Everyone saw it some even pointed at it. But no one else was the least bit surprised by it. It had an inscription on the side as it hovered by... it took me a very long time to read it but it turned out it was english! As it hovered just a few hundred feet above our heads I could make out "Good..." then as my eyes focused "..Year". It said "GoodYear" on it. I peered deeper into the craft and could make out a small figure inside running the entire craft. How it was able to hover just above our head without wings, I do not know. It was almost like it could fall at anytime. I ran into a near by bar to tell everyone there, they were all excited and rushed out. But the second they laid eyes on it they threw their arms down and went back to drinking. There was a flashing light on the bottom of it. I knew that had to be the reason for everyones immeadiate dismissal of the craft. I don't know why it wasnt working on me, but every single person I went to looked at it, and almost instantaneous laughed or giggled and paid no more attention to it. Theses ufo's are getting more sophisticated. It was almost like everyone had seen it a thousand times... could it be that since we are having more and more encounters that the extraterrestials have resorted to mind control? I'm not sure it was the flashing light, perhaps it was the script on the side of the vessel, perhaps the combination of the words "Good" and "Year" are some type of code words that allow extraterrestials to bypass our natural instinct of fear! Again I am not sure as to way these words had no effect to me, but it could all go back to the creations of man, maybe we're some type of hybrid monkey that the extraterrestials used as slaves and as we developed we became more modernized and fearful so they had to implant genes into our gene pool to assure us as potential slaves for future use just in case their newly appointed slaves arent as useful as we once were.
