And crazy youtube hoax videos and alleged eyewitness accounts aside, there is a complete lack of physical evidence.

So no matter how many witnesses come forward that are above and beyond credible, some being the highest officers in American government, no matter how many FOIA documents are released that spell out the reality in extremely plain terms... you wont even give it a second thought until you can crawl up inside a ufo?
Fact is, you suffer from the same "temporal provincialism" that Hynek described... nothing short of the object in front of you will change your mind, thats not scientific thinking at all, there is MORE than enough documented evidence out there in the form of air traffic controller radar readouts alone, to merit extremely serious scientific study.
I dont give a shit how smart you are about everything else, you're wearing some serious blinders about this subject... its unbelievable, its sad, and I'm finished with this.
