Other than when you're not?

Am I a "UFO magnet"? I've had more weird experiences over the years than most people, but it's probably just coincidental, and this one UFO sighting is the only one I don't have any other explanation for other than alien technology and/or intelligence.

When someone describes a situation, the cause of which is unknown but where an infinite number of explanations are equally evidenced, and when that person dismisses the unlimited number of equally evidenced possibilities in favor of a particular explanation, that is definitively jumping to conclusions. It is antithetical to skepticism and critical thinking.

This will be a new concept for you, so I'll try and go slow: I looked at the available evidence (in this case, your posts) and formed a conclusion based on that evidence. Now, your explanation for pretty much everything you've posted here has been aliens. There is no evidence that aliens exist and are visiting this planet. Therefore, you are jumping to conclusions.

Simple, huh?

So you looked at a few of my posts, presumably including the ones where I've systematically ruled out everything known to man that could be responsible for what I saw, and then ... how exactly did you compare my conclusion to "most people" in order to reach your conclusion that "most people" would not have jumped to some conclusion quicker than me ... like those who have said they think it was a firefly for example? Perhaps you took a random poll of several thousand people and have some statistical evidence?

But you did not. Your arguments from incredulity and ignorance do not constitute ruling out anything. You've even admitted that you can't rule out several of the possibilities I listed earlier in the thread. So your claim to have ruled out "everything known to man that could be responsible for what [you] saw" is, of course, another falsehood.

ETA: Here is where you admit that a few particular possibilities could explain your alleged sighting...

I can't get you blood tests or a psychology report, to prove I am a drug free, sane, human being who actually remembers seeing a UFO in 1974 with my girlfriend.

And below is where I win the million dollars for predicting, although by inference, that this...

No. I looked at your posts. Please stop assuming that the rest of us act like you do. Some of us assess all the evidence.

This never happened.

Most people don't see lights in the sky and think "ALIENS!" That's why ufology is a fringe group of nutjobs. Get it?
