There’s actually a lot of evidence

In fact in our courts eyewitness testimony is considered as good as it gets, when u wanna prove shit

Somehow, though, we’ve let UFO witnesses get discredited and ridiculed and yelled down for a long long time, until ppl feel totally comfortable exclaiming “there’s no evidence”

there is a reason that most people who are actually searching for alien life seriously, like folks at SETI, are enthusiastic but extremely, extremely cautious and critical, and people who just "want to believe" are watching skinwatcher ranch on history channel

eyewitness testimony is shit level evidence in science

it's actually been shown to be pretty terrible in court as well. lots of innocent people go to jail because of eyewitness testimony

Pro tip: only way to get $ to research aliens is to be Super Extra Cautiously Extremely Critical Plus Skeptical As All Fuck, Also Could You Shower and Shave, Thanks

Question

Are you talking about eyewitnesses who saw aliens exiting a spacecraft, or just people who saw something in the sky and didn't know what they were looking at

No don’t get me wrong, UFOs probably aren’t aliens at all, who would think such a thing!

What troubles me is the pile-on mentality where everyone rushes to discredit people who want to talk about when someone in a weird ship took them in the night and stuff

Believe the victim and everything, right? Or at least don’t ridicule the living shit out of them? Especially when the campaign of ridicule comes direct from the motherfucking bureaucrats who can’t under any circumstance admit that the government, police, military aren’t all-powerful and in charge of what happens to us

We’re talking about Betty and Barney Hill, here. We’re talking about the hundreds of thousands of people who describe remarkably consistent interactions with extraterrestrials

But it’s probably all BS, and the aliens were likely not guilty, after all, what with cross-racial identification being such an issue

no scientific evidence. nothing quantifiable that can be studied or measured. people reported seeing fairies for hundreds of years

“Fantastically unlikely” is kinda loaded, isn’t it? Breeg all im suggesting is some soul searching; for such an open minded guy who tends to listen and empathize with folks, r u maybe a little contemptuous of ppl who believe they’ve interacted with aliens? If so, might be worth asking yourself why

See? Not even topley, one of our most tolerant of catbirds, thinks it’s even remotely ok to suggest what i just suggested

As a culture we are allergic to ufo/alien stuff. It’s even more vehement than like, ghost talk. Yet if i wanna worship my white hunky god by going to a big room and hearing a man talk every Sunday, holy shit we better protect my rights

all this from a guy who acted like it was ludicrous when a user suggested the career paths of The Strokes & Queens of the Stone Age had some similarities once. now that is rich!

I suppose we all "pick our poisons"

what exactly is it that you're suggesting RtM

that somewhere among all those who said they witnessed aliens must be one who spoke the truth?

I mean I definitely believe we're not alone, just the chance that someone in our lifetime, or even in the lifespan of humans on this planet will have first contact is um, small

Thanks for asking, pretty clearly not communicating myself clearly, here, and for that i humbly offer my sorriest of apologies

All im suggesting is that 1) there is widespread animosity toward the overwhelmingly huge group of human beings on this planet who we would call UFO witnesses, including outright delegitimizing of their testimony (i.e. “there is no evidence,”) 2) that this animosity was, in large part, engineered by identifiable bureaucrats as part of a cynical ploy to misdirect/defuse the public’s attention away from the topic, and 3) it’s worth asking ourselves whether our attitudes toward the UFO question (and witnesses in particular) align with our (professed) values of tolerance, empathy, and open mindedness

Personally i think it’s interdimensional monkey business, rather than nuts and bolts crafts from other planets, that comprises the majority of sightings. But that’s just like, my opinion, man

Take Dr. John Mack, for example (he was head of the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and studied abductions in the ‘90s):

Quote:
When I first encountered this phenomenon, or particularly even before I had actually seen the people themselves, I had very little place in my mind to take this seriously. I, like most of us, were raised to believe that if we were going to discover other intelligence, we'd do it through radio waves or through signals or something of that kind.

The idea that we could be reached by some other kind of being, creature, intelligence that could actually enter our world and have physical effects as well as emotional effects, was simply not part of the world view that I had been raised in. So that I came very reluctantly to the conclusion that this was a true mystery. In other words, that I—I did everything I could to rule out other sources, or sexual abuse. Some of these people are abused. But they're able to tell, distinguish clearly the abduction trauma from other forms of abuse. Some forms of psychosis or people making up stories—I could reject that on the basis that there was no gain in this for the vast majority of these people.

.... I've now worked with over a hundred experiencers intensively. Which involves an initial two-hour or so screening interview before I do anything else. And in case after case after case, I've been impressed with the consistency of the story, the sincerity with which people tell their stories, the power of feelings connected with this, the self-doubt—all the appropriate responses that these people have to their experiences.
And then you look at what happened to him, for the sin of empathizing with these patients
