Although there are circles where the corn has 'bent' in an unnatural way and remain mysterious, until we can rule out human agency they aren't evidence of anything much.
ANOMALIES: When I talk about bent nodes, I don't mean phototropism or gravitropism, which cause the plants to bend in a vertical position due to the influence of the sunlight or gravity. What I mean with bent nodes is horizontal bending, which causes the plants to 'change direction' lying flat on the ground. If the plant has multiple bent nodes, a circular effect is automatically created. This too cannot be reproduced by human hands. You can try it: the plant will either break or bend back. Node bending can only occur when the node bends faster on one side than on the other. In other words: the cells are only manipulated on on side.

a world-wide event that cant be denied. I disagree with the technology statement though... I mean, where did lasers come from? You guessed it and most people accept it as some scientist who came up with it. it doesnt matter if we come up with a 2 gram battery that can poswer a Mack truck, scientist and the mainstream will say WE created it, lol.
I believe that IF ETs decide to show up, we will shoot at them, piss them off and they will destroy us all. Just my .02
And every one says it alien.
So what is it. They do not know. So why say alien?
If the sighting is in Ohio the craft might as well came from Ohio somewhere.
Mexico UFOs surely come from Mexico somewhere.
Unfortunately, the King of Lies appearing on TV and saying so would do it.
Doesn't matter how many lies he tells, he never seems to lose any credibility. And if he appears on the TV, well, who will argue with that?
The TV said so...
I hate all this "skeptics wouldn't believe unless an alien kicked them in the groin" rubbish.
As a skeptic, here's what would make me sit up and take note: evidence for which the most likely explanation is that aliens exist. Plain and simple. The more of it, and the more consistent, the better.

i find it HARD TO BELIEVE that you would change your skepticism over something that will most likely be controversial evidence.

you failed to mention what that evidence would be
Why do you find it hard to believe? You seem to see it as some kind of war. I would change my mind based on the evidence, the same as I would with everything else. It's odd - I get the feeling if aliens arrived you would expect me to say I was wrong for being skeptical. I wouldn't. I would say "I was right to be skeptical before. Now, I have reason to believe".
solid evidence (either single or plural) for which the existence of aliens is the most likely explanation.
But any person cannot honestly believe that all of the accounts and testimonies are mistakes or lies! especially when considering the credibility and professions, past and present, of some of the men and women involved, so a logical person has to conclude in his or her supposed intelligent mind, ( from one of the many intelligently occupied planets in the cosmos!) that at least a few of the accounts and testimonies are correct and are encounters by human beings on planet Earth by extraterestrial biological entities and there advanced aerial space fairing craft, the PROOF is in the logic!

i find it hard to believe because no circumstantial evidence is going to convince the entire world period and if it won't convince everyone else then i am going to assume it won't convince you either.

nothing wrong with being skeptical with a neutral view of things but skeptics that totally dismiss the possibility of Aliens visiting this planet because there is no proof is simply foolish when they have not considered that this proof they seek will not be obvious until these Aliens reveal themselves.

i agree with you that there has to be a percentage of UFO and Aliens reports that are true. it's mathematically impossible for every single one to be false ...
You're implying it's easier to convince everyone in the world than to convince one person.
I will continue to hold no positive belief about the existence of aliens until I have good reason to do so.
let's substitute something into your quote:
No, it isn't.
