What is your stance on aliens?

I am curious to see where everyone stands on this. Asking about a stance on UFOs could be a different topic with different options so feel to give your thoughts on that as well.

40 years and nothing has convinced me otherwise. And I am well aware of the psychology you are referencing and it does not apply here.

Also, I'm a sane individual. I think.

Too bad the tv scientists word doesnt trump the director of the CIA, or Chairman of the JCOS.

Because they certainly didnt have any scientists informing their opinions...

So what exactly was it that you saw that convinced you that it was a spacecraft from an alien planet? How do you differentiate terrestrial technology that you don't understand from extra-terrestrial technology?

I don't rely on an argument from authority. Apparently you do.

I quoted Neil DeGrasse Tyson because his explanation makes perfect sense. What specific things did the director of the CIA or the Chairman of the JCOS say that you find to be compelling? Or are you just taking their word for it? For that matter, what exactly DID they say? You got a link?

Understand that I come from an aviation family.

It looked like an airliner contrail, which was my first thought. But it was going the other way and disappearing into the other cloud bank. Then it was gone.

Aliens? Dunno. But I've seen nothing since.

Let's do a quick test. Do you think the Chiefs will win a Super Bowl in your lifetime? If yes, will it involve the use of alien technology or not?

If your statement is that you saw something you can't identify, nobody can argue that point.

If your statement is that you saw an alien spacecraft, your argument is not terribly convincing.

That's the whole point of Tyson's quote.

Do you understand the term "Argument from incredulity"? Saying "What the **** was it" is not a compelling argument that it was a spaceship from outer space. It's not a compelling argument for ANYTHING.

By your own account this incident happened 40 years ago. You were a kid, you were sitting in the back seat of your parents car, and you were looking out the back window. How long did the incident last? How long did you see this thing? An hour? 30 minutes? 10 minutes? 5 seconds? My money is on 5 seconds.

Frankly, people who say they were abducted by aliens and subjected to all sorts of medical tests and anal probes make a stronger case, because if they are telling the truth, something very weird DID happen. You could be telling the complete truth and the answer could be a completely logical explanation.

You should read this article. This person debunked his own UFO sighting 14 years after it happened.
