Much like an Alex Smith-led Chiefs, I do not believe.

Listen aliens that crashed their craft aren't going to have anything valuable on board that we could utilize. If they're too stupid to land their craft after a multi trillion mile journey I have no interest in what they have.

And why the **** do people keep thinking UFOs are going to hover a few hundred feet up. That has to be the stupidest idea ever. We can read a license plate from space but these advanced creatures have to hover 500 feet off the ground. reeruned.

Well that's the entire point of the Appeal to Authority fallacy. A handful of people's personal claims aren't to be taken more seriously than a mountain of evidence to the contrary. No matter who that individual is. The complete lack of physical evidence for UFOs isn't a fact overcome by individual eyewitness testimony or opinion. And crazy youtube hoax videos and alleged eyewitness accounts aside, there is a complete lack of physical evidence.

So what you are saying is the only UFOs that might exist are those that are seen with the naked eye? If they are alien they can only be millions of miles away or a few hundred feet above the earth and nothing in between?

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. |

This is like a religious discussion. People just pick their side and go with it.
Personally I think the universe is most likely teeming with life. Whether anything other than native Earth live has visited here or not I don't know. UAP's could be something closed system (meaning terrestrial) and not require extraterrestial origin. And there's logical fallacies all over the place. The biggest argument to the contrary is generally that the distances required to travel are impossible. Of course everyone arguing the point conveniently leaves out the caveat "at our current level of understanding". A hundred years from now, a thousand years from now, two months from now, who knows, our own understanding of what's possible and what's not may change completely. We act like we're at the pinnacle of science, that we know enough to make hard and fast statements, when the reality is that our understanding is not even in its infancy yet. We're still fetal. Which doesn't mean that anything other than us has ever been here. Just that we're unbelievably arrogant to believe so, simply because we can't traverse the distance. |
