So ppl. who condemn it, are just ignorant.

We seek answers for mysteries,puzzles the unknown, its all part of our makeup, to learn. I like to perform magic tricks, it is good to entertain, most
like to fathom ,How is it done? if they guess right, do we say yep you are smart,or do we weave or confuse their guess so they are still confused.
Maybe the same techniques are used by skeptics, because if they didn,t believe in ufo,s or crop circles or symbolism or whatever, then WHY are they
reading and replying to subjects that they don,t believe in? daft eh.
So maybe there is more to this than meets the eye, maybe the skeptics DO believe but like this info limited only to the few , the skeptics
themselves, mike

Many skeptics either believe or want to believe in aliens visiting or even contacting this planet. The fact is that all of the evidence provided thus
far is circumstantial. Fuzy photographs are hardly proof of alien visitation. Goverment officials "comming forward" is hardly proof. The fact it is
only a select few and that most are retired does not help their case. Alot of time retireees get bored and want a little attention to make them feel
less bored. Some get mentaly unstable. Even if there were any truth in what the remaining ones say, they cannot be trusted to these others. This is
true for all testimony. So your are left with physical "slap me in the face with an alien" evidence which as of yet has not been provided.
As far as your comparing this to magic tricks and misdirection given by magicians as to how they are accopmlished. Since you do some magic, I am
guessing your are talking sligh of hand and stage magic verses actual magic. There are so many differnt ways in which these tricks can be performed,
which if an answer is given by someone as to how a particular magician performed the trick, they might be incorrect. This is not misdirection on the
person giving the answer, just an incorrect guess. Which is why this anology does not fit well when describing the skeptic but instead more the side
of the believer explaining UFO's. The skeptic would take this and ask for proof that it is done the way described.

When we are dealing with the unknown or unproven, all we can offer is suggestions, I am amazed at crop circles ,i know that many hoaxers have tried to
convince others of their special quality to dupe the public with boards and string. If they are not made perfectly then they are man made as far as
mechanically possible.
We have the technology to perform many marvelous things, for example you must have seen those solid glass cubes with a hologram shaped by a laser
within?.
The same principal could be used with a laser to make crop circles from a satelite.
We want to believe in the unproven, I tend to be sceptical at times, this site brings together some of the specialists in their field, and no matter
who you are, your membership is welcome as hopefully contributing to this site.mike

The word 'skeptic' doesn't mean :not believe. It means 'doubtful'. Read, Those who wont hear must feel....on the Ats web site. The people
may very well see UFO's that are not there.

my point of view is: it's hard to believe that among so many stars in the universe, and probably most of them contains a solar with planets.. what's
the possibility of having one living planet beside us?
