ATS is unique in this: it acts like a school, but a "school" in which each "student" is free to decide which "teacher" actually adds something to his/her knowledge
1. Are you now a bigger believer than pre ATS?
2. Are you now more skeptical than pre ATS?

The depth of fact comes from witness testimonies, ex professionals across all establishments have now come forward and theres literally hundreds with great information. While you cant accept it at face value, you can look at 400 people who were once highly respected and valued in their fields all saying the same thing and be fairly certain there is definately something behind it.

I completely agree with your sentiments silver6ix. I believe we need more professionals in their relative fields to come out and tell us what they 'know' whether it be from aerospace, government, military, commercial pilots, astronomers etc. Though I agree that there is definitely something behind it, we still need more witnesses of higher credibility to come forward before the rest of the world wakes up!

Yeah, nothing like sitting around a table with a hot coffee at 4am after the party has finished, blowing peoples minds with all kinds of crap and watching their faces go blank as they laugh uneasily trying to comprehend everything you've just said as the overwhelming urge to vomit comes over them!

Your not referring to a certain "Project Bluebook" by any chance?
People are still smarting from that!

Applebiter, you phrased your opinion much better than I could have! I agree with you. It's those very elements that repel me and have turned me into the 'skeptical believer' I am today. There are fringe elements everywhere from UFO's & Aliens to Football.
If there was a positive to be drawn from my time at ATS, it's that I've met some amazing minds that have taught me a deeper understanding of the material - and the crazier elements have taught me the importance of critical thinking.
Thanks for a great post mate!

Hi Good People,
Since I became a member of ATS in December 2007, I have found myself becoming more skeptical and discerning regarding the UFO/Alien phenomena than I can ever remember, (30+ years). I believed far more easily pre ATS but now, my quest has steered toward the tangible proofs and not the hearsay. To be honest, my preconceived notion was that I would probably become a bigger believer in such a community. My experience at ATS has certainly surprised me!
