I do find it interesting though that a witness to something and a testimony is enough to throw someone in jail for life...
The population has been programmed to react with shock, anger and dismissiveness about the topic itself. Thus keeping the topic shut down.
As for me again, I will probably never get an answer on the question "are they us, or them? And if them, then what are they?" Mostly, it seems, because of people like you.
n thousands of courtrooms every single day, eyewitness testimony is often all there is to prove or disprove a claim. Eyewitness testimony is a legitimate means of getting at the truth and drawing conclusions.
NO actually the opposite,
The general population has been programmed to have aliens on there minds for many decades now.
saying so to defend UFO sightings just shows how far some will reach to keep their beliefs alive.
It's quite obvious that it has been drilled into people's minds that there is nothing strange regarding ufos. That the only people who see them are drunks, wackos, attention seekers etc
When you have radar evidence, and multiple being also witnessing thst same object in radar, then witnesess are just as important as the radar evidence. We have seen this in so many militery cases alone.
But as with ufo believers being like a religon, the same can be said for a lot of the skeptics.

You only have to look at project blue book to know that. And still, with the mounting evidence, people still refuse to take them seriously, which is a huge shame. But as with ufo believers being like a religon, the same can be said for a lot of the skeptics. Both are using their belief system to justify what they believe, or do not believe.

CASH GRABBB!!! As soon as he mentioned Greer, and EdMItchell, and TTSA he lost all credibility.
I watched a video once of Greer taking a group of people who paid for a tour of UFOs into the woods and up to a large clearing, where he claimed there was an invisible UFO parked.
These people are selling stories. Made up stories. The fact that there are gov personel involved, and still not one shred of evidence for anything they have said, should be an eye opener.
Why do you follow these people? What reason do you have to believe in what they are saying? Name one single thing that could count as convincing material. (Anectodal witness stories don’t count as convincing)
You have blinded me with your logic and what I have seen and experienced is but a dream.
Because it didn't happen, right?
Because nobody wants to even compare notes, much less try to figure out an answer.
As for me again, I will probably never get an answer on the question "are they us, or them? And if them, then what are they?" Mostly, it seems, because of people like you.
I'm done with the topic again. I'll revisit it in another 10 years and see where people are.
If that makes any sense to you, then you have much deeper problems to work on bud.

But you yourself just mentioned Greer, and Ed Mitchell and TTSA, so you just lost all credibility too. Or does that only apply when other people "mention" other people's names?

Ed mitchell has made a lot of uncredible comments over the years. I’ll not give him a pass because he did some cool stuff for a while. I’ll take each of his claims at face value because that is the reasonable thing to do.

My biggest problem is seeing nobodies with zero creds like yourself defame a national hero like Ed Mitchell and claim that when his name is mentioned it discredits someone.

Well go out and snag yourself an alien and parade it around on the tv or at least take some pictures. Until then, all you have are other people’s stories. If i’m so wrong, #ing prove it. Where is the evidence that is not stories? Why are you so sure if there is no #ing evidence?

I think there are very good reasons to ignore a vast amount of eye witness accounts on this subject. Considering that this has been in the forefront of pop culture since the 40’s.

So witnesses don't count.
A rather good way to keep from acknowledging that something is indeed out there and an explanation would be nice...
Let me ask this another way.
I've personally had 5 different UFO encounters in my life, all of them with multiple witnesses besides myself.
Not "a blinking light in the sky" or "it could be a comet or weather balloon" encounters, but multi-minute "I can describe every detail" ones.
As a child I touched one.
Now, I would really like to know the actual explanation of these things... our stuff, their stuff, if so who is "they"?
So to you is my search into the "what are they?" question just pointless and I'm dreaming it all up?
Honestly curious.
Or should we never accept any extraordinary claim without significant means to back it up? I’m not keen on that and i’m sure you aren’t either.
As far as your claims. They are not credible in the slightest bit to me. I call shenanigans and i insist you prove them, or i will simply dismiss you as someone who can’t distinguish fantasy from reality. There are plenty of those people floating around making absurd claims without the means to back them up, or the education to convice me that you are credible.
It exists in pop culture so that means millions of people suddenly started hallucinating about one specific aspect of pop culture? Why arent people telling stories that sound like HeMan or Lord of the Rings? Why is it always advanced beings in space ships? Where are all the "i swear to god this happened" stories about a sword swinging sorcery and sandals adventure akin to conan the barbarian or krull? Where are all the mermaids? Those have been in "pop culture" for quite a while now...
Your contribution is worth less than nothing to me, and your ignorance and lack of imagination is such that its actually painful for me to imagine being you. You probably scoffed at even hearing the word imagination because you are only capable of percieving it in that one nonsensical context.
