i suggest we just say 'okay' and let it die.
Real Evidence would convince me, nothing else.
Which is, under the circumstances only fair.
You wouldn't hang someone for murder, because some else just believes it so.
Evidence needs to be corroborated and cross examined.
"Real Evidence"
Could you go ahead and define that for us please?
Remember, if you can't define your terms then they are unobtainable.
"Real Evidence"
Example
Probative matter furnished by items that are actually on view, as opposed to a verbal description of them by a witness.
For example, a weapon used in the commission of a crime would be classified as real evidence.

I think you need to re-title your thread to "ET UFO's are not real".
"UFO(s) are Not Real" misleads the reader into thinking you're saying that objects that can't be identified as convential aircraft or natural phenonema don't exist, which would be a silly statement.
I get what you're saying though, and I agree that no tangible evidence to support the existence of ET visiting Earth has made it's way into the public domain yet. However, without having access to the full picture, eg access to top secret facilities and their archives etc, it's difficult to come to a definate answer on this.
For the record I had a very clear sighting of my own over 20 years ago and I can say with confidence that what I saw that evening was certainly not conventional by any means, it's design, movement and the lack of noise told me this. As to who or what was controlling/piloting it, well, that's anyone's guess, but I won't cry "alien" unless I actually see one.

Bring it on.
There is no proof, whether other members want to believe it or not.
If they show irrefutable evidence then i will ban myself.
The simple quote "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" fits well in this case... ( en.wikipedia.org... ) .. we simply don't know.. you can't possibly state one way or the other in a confident way..
I have a feeling you're intentionally just trying to rile people up
No, I am just sick of the unspoken lack of evidence.
Oh gratz on being the first quote this old and tired defence "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence".
No evidence == NO ET CRAFT

I re-titled the thread, since it's past your time allotment to edit the title. If this was not desired, please U2U me and let me know rigel4. Thank you.
Official Roswell story says it wasn't weather balloons but mogul balloons, i know its hardly a change but in terms of the OS its a big change,

This isn't an original position, and it's not supported by the OP with any interesting data. What would be lots more persuasive would be a careful study of carefully screened reports showing no meaningful residual. I haven't seen such, but even then how do you show that something is "not ET" when you have no idea what that IS?
