Now what makes "creatures from the bottom of the ocean" any less plausible than "space aliens"?

The infinite size and possibility of space vs. the finite restrictions of our specific ocean.

You don't agree there are Lizard people in UFO's. You don't agree that they actually experienced what they say they did. Hallucination, mental illness, there are a number of more probable explanations out there. And that makes sense. But then you say "but by golly if I see it, well, that makes it real." No, it doesn't. By your own argument it just means you've now hallucinated or become unwell yourself. You've become the same unreliable witness you don't respect now. Our known senses are very unreliable. We can manipulate them ourselves and we do every day. When we watch Alex Smith throw an interception we are not actually watching him do it. We are not there - we are not at the stadium - Alex Smith is not in our living room. We have manipulated light and sound to make it appear that we are there. Imagine how real that game might look 6,000 years from now...

I was not elevating myself to the authority that I would believe if only I could personally be the one to see something. I was stating that lights in the sky are not enough: We need actual tangible evidence that remains long after the lights have vanished. A living alien would provide that evidence. So would a dead one. So would a spaceship. Those are things that are not so easily explained away. Lights in the sky are easily explained away. |

And I'm not ready to just throw away the "abduction" experience. I think in some cases these people actually remember what they say they do. I think they're being honest. A lot of the time people report seeing people in uniforms or helicopters or some type of government presence in the area. It's common knowledge that different combinations and durations of light can cause seizures or a hypnotic effect even in those that don't have any history of them. A lot of times these experiences seem to happen near military bases. And we know from sex abuse and UFO cases that when people undergo hypnosis it's very easy to have false memories implanted. Researchers and therapists do this all the time without meaning to so I'm sure a govt. program could achieve much better results IF that was the aim. If the military wanted to do a Tuskegee-like experiment today they could use a UFO abduction cover. Abduct Brainiac, inject him with the super-AIDS-bola, implant a false memory of ass play and aliens, and drop you back off. Pick you back up in 6 months, repeat, see the results. I'm not saying it's probable but if I'm going to entertain for even one second an alien option I'd have to consider something a million times more likely, such as the military/government being behind it...

The general public and the mass media. If a live alien is found, put him on national TV. If a dead alien is found, make all information about it a matter of public record and make the body available for examination by multiple entities, including (but absolutely not be limited to) government agencies. Same for an alien space ship.
Conspiracy theorists and UFO fanatics will claim that the government already has this and is keeping it all secret. I disagree. It would be easy to prove me wrong. |

What if it means "made out of cells"? What if it means "about 6 feet tall and 160 lbs"?
