NEWSFALSH!!
SCIENCE REACHES CONCLUSIONS ALL THE TIME BASED ON THE AVAILABLE EVIDENCE!
Correct. But in this instance there is insufficient evidence to draw any conclusions.
I'm well aware that there are some interesting cases out there. But I happy to leave it at "insufficient data, therefore I don't know". You go from insufficient data to "must be aliens". You're not following the 'evidence', but taking a blind leap of faith.
Not true. Not all hypotheses are falsifiable and a hypothesis does not have to be falsifiable.
According to your logic Scientist could never come to conclusions and build hypothesis based on things like black holes, parallel universes, branes, extra dimensions and more.

Why do you feel it necessary to reach a "conclusion?" What needs to be decided and settled in such a hurry? If a bomb was going off and I needed to clip either a red wire or a blue wire to stop it, then I would need to reach a conclusion. Otherwise, I can relax and wait for more information to show up. If it does, great. If not, oh well. I can't know everything.
I've never seen any UFO evidence that specifically points toward an extraterrestrial explanation. Even supposed alien beings talking directly to abductees/contactees. That's just hearsay. And "It couldn't possibly be anything from Earth" is not evidence, its an assumption.
By the way, Edgar Mitchell himself has said on many occasions that his belief in ETs has nothing to do with any secret documents he may have seen during his time as an astronaut. He says his belief is based on publicly available documents and reports that we all know about. Edgar Mitchell is basically a guy who believes in alien visitation who was also an astronaut. His former job did not provide him with insider secret documents about aliens.
My point is that your hypothesis, "some UFOs are controlled by ET", is not falsifiable.
Again, you have no point.
Sure. Now all you need is evidence which can be scientifically validated.
Saying some U.F.O.'s are controlled by extraterrestrials is a valid scientific hypothesis.

There's mountains of evidence in order to reach a conclusion.

Have you ever seen a parallel universe? Have you ever seen a picture or video of one? Have you ever seen any trace evidence of a parallel universe?
Saying some U.F.O.'s are controlled by extraterrestrials is a valid scientific hypothesis.
Just like String theory, parallel universes, Braneworlds, Hawking radiation and more.

Show me. Don't tell me about it. Don't link to someone else telling me about it. Show me directly. You can't, because it doesn't exist.

What you said about Edgar Mitchell was a lie.
neoholographic
In this interview he talks about talking to an intelligence officer at the Joints Chiefs of Staff that he can't name.

He clearly talks about people he can't name that has confirmed his conclusion.
Let me see you walk into the Joint Chiefs of Staff and talk to an Intelligence Officer about Aliens.
Falsification is your topic. You are not talking about falsification. None of those are falsifiable. None can be shown to not exist. Some of the math used to show they may exist may be incorrect (and therefore falsifiable) but the non-existence of these things cannot be proven.
Of course it can just like we can find out as technology advances if parallel universes, hawking radiation, extra dimension or string theory is true
I was obfuscating nothing. I was pointing out that your claim that it is falsifiable is not true.
So basically you were obfuscating just to agree with my point that the ET hypothesis is a valid scientific hypothesis???
Unidentified flying objects do not exist in the sense of what people believe to be spacecraft controlled by extraterrestrials which do not exist either in the sense of how the word extraterrestrial is defined as a being not of planet Earth.
.
we can 100% identify anything that flies above our heads
