Imagine the scenario. Alien beings from the far flung depths of space, travel for trillions of miles to reach Planet Earth. When they arrive here what do they do? They fly around in our atmosphere, in their brighly lit space craft. They don't land and make themselves known to the locals. They don't land and make themselves known to the wider world.
In the Middle Ages, European explorers traveled the high seas to discover new worlds. The likes of Cook, Drake, Magellan, Columbus etc found these new worlds. What did they do when they arrived? They went ashore and made themselves known to the natives. They certainly didn't just "Float Around" on the sea and keep a safe distance. The Natives would have found these European strangers most "Alien" to themselves
So ET travelling the vast distance of space and "Floating Around" above The Earth. Come on, it's not on is it?

What have crop circles got to do with a post about if UFO's are real or not? You have lost me. Nice try thought to try and divert the subject.

Thing is, I'm not even what you would call a "believer".
I think there is something going on.
What that is, is anybodies guess.
I do know that people see stuff in the sky that is unexplainable.
Alien?
I used to think yes, then just maybe, and now, doubtful, but not entirely impossible.
It's probably far more complicated and fantastic then we could imagine.
What I don't do is disregard all evidence because some smarmy git like Micheal Shermer or Jim Oberg come along and say that we are all out of our minds, when they don't have a clue either.
I remain open minded and curious as we all should, even if 99% of it is just rare weather or atmospheric effects.
That would still be fascinating.
I could never quite understand the rapid skeptic or fanatical believer in anything.
A rational adult with any amount of life experience realises the world isn't that black and white, and is certainly far stranger while being mundane at the same time, than one can imagine.
I guess it is some sort of defense mechanism that allows one to not get spooked by what one donesn't know.

Who are you exactly? What are you qualifications in the field of "UFO's" Now let me guess. Your entire knowledge is based on the "Stories of UFO's" that you have read. And that's all they are, just stories. You have never done any field research and i would doubt that you have spoken to anyone who has claimed to have seen a "UFO". Your entire belief is based on at best, second and third hand knowledge.
People like you make me sick. You pontificate that you know that the subject matter is for real. You have as much knowledge as i do. Untill "UFO's" are proved beyond doubt that they are for real then the subject is not worth even debating.
Yes i believe that some crop circles are not man made. Why? because serious research has been carried out into something that people can see, stand in, touch, and examine. When did you do any of that with a "UFO"? Because one persons says that he has seen something that is "Unidentified" doesn't mean it cannot be identified by someone else.
Here is some news that won't please people like you and you ilk:-
People who believe in "UFO" have something missing in their lives. Why don't you get out more and live in the real world.
