The only proof that will satisfy the crowd here is for them all to have a personal experience together at the same time.
No, "an experience" (like the one's you have documented) as most people here will agree, is not proof of anything other an experience.
Any individual would just end up in the same boat I'm in.
More details being added?... So now you're claiming you were in a boat?
News reports and science reports and videos and books and everything else is anecdotal or after the fact and would be deemed irrellevant.
No... Verification is the key. An accurate news report or science book that claimed to actually
have an alien or flying saucer would be verifiable.
Even a real flying saucer wouldn't prove anything other than that we have some flying machine that maybe we built ourselves.
Not if it was alien in origin. Afterall it could accelerate to vast speeds from a dead stop to cover 25km in a few seconds without making a sonic boom, be fitted with an anti-gravity propulsion system and perform perfect figure 8's without a sound... We have a good grasp of the limits of our knowledge, so something that is beyond those limits (breaking laws we rely on to make other scientific predictions) would be 'proof' enough for science.
Aliens can be be hoaxed with makeup and prosthetics,
Which is why I specifically said "actual aliens and flying saucers"
You can not hoax an actual alien or flying saucer.
so even if one were to land in a UFO on TV, it still wouldn't prove anything.
Unless it really was an
actual alien in an
actual flying saucer.
Like I've said before, short of opening up an alien travel agency that provides mother ship cruises, there will always be people who believe that intelligently controlled objects of alien origin have never been to Earth.
And until someone opens a travel agency offering sleigh rides with Santa Claus, there will also be people who don't believe a fat man in a red suit flies through the air on Christmas eve in a sleigh pulled by flying reindeer.
People are just so unreasonable aren't they?
Obviously I'm not one of those who don't believe. The diffference between me and the non-belivers is that their is always a chance the non-believers will have an experience of their own that will change their view.
Again you are wrong. There are stories littered through this forum of members here who have seen UFOs. I myself started off as a believer many years ago. What changed my mind was entirely the evidence (or lack of) in which case, all you're left with is 'blind belief' in which case you may as well have the same belief in GeeMack's God who puts memories in your brain to make you look silly on the internet years later, or Santa Claus, or Fairies, Pegasus, Pink Unicorns, Dragons, PushmePullYous etc.
For me it's too late. There is nothing that can be undone to make me unbelieve what I know
And we are usually the ones accused of being closed minded?
This is the nubb of people's problem with you ufology, it's arrogance like this and steadfast refusal to even consider seriously, that what you think you "know" may be wrong.
and I'm not going to start dismissing and ridiculing the experiences of others just to fit in here.
It's not about "fitting in" there is no peer pressure to be one of the gang.
The fact is that as most people around here are critical thinkers, we all tend to think along the same lines as a result of that thought process (because critical thinking follows strict rules which when adhered to, reduce the possibility of wildly differing opinions and errors whilst leaving an open door for new compelling evidence to change our minds).
The ridicule is in response to the ridiculousness of your arguments, not your experiences.
