Great topic.
I wasn't aware that these ATS members were so idolized. I personally have found their input interesting and sometimes educational. Having hardcore skeptics or debunkers or what ever one chooses to call them is good for ATS. It keeps me on my toes and makes me check the facts before I post something. Having read through many posts in which these members have contributed I can honestly understand why some members feel frustration and anguish. It isn't so much that the topic was "Debunked" "Derailed" or proven wrong that gets members upset. It's the way in which the topic of the thread gets derailed. Sometimes it is done quite brutally with no concern for the poster. Not everyone is trying to pull a fast one..
There have been many occasions when the topic seems very clearly "Unknown" Some of the above mentioned names will give their "Opinion" and then it's considered "case closed" Meanwhile that is just an opinion not the gospel truth. I have to remind myself that. So I fully understand why some members are frustrated.
On Topic.
I'm grateful for those that have come forward to share what they feel are the unusual cases in their opinion. I have also felt that many of the previously mentioned cases are unique and do deserve further study. I'm always looking forward to hearing their opinions and their contributions. Sorry but that's as close as I can come to Idol worship.
Great post S & F
PEACE

That last video certainly looks like many hill fires I have seen here in the High Deserts of Idaho. To me, it looks like flames and smoke drifting off to the right.

Thank you "easynow" for a wonderful post.
Without the critical thinking these, and several other members of ATS I can think of bring to the table, this forum would be just another paradise for those who seek to hoax, scam and or otherwise perpetuate their own agenda at the expense of innocent people who have experienced something they can't explain.

Nohup I'd like to know what cases particularly whet your appetite, especially if there are any that you think an ET hypothesis is most likely...I agree with you that a lot of unexplained cases tend to overlook many other "unexplainable" possibilities. [...]
It's also nice to show that even the most hardcore skeptics are still "believers" to an extent, and maybe some of you people hating on them can finally see how these guys actually work much harder than any of you to make UFOlogy a credible scientific process.
