I agree with the OP.
We have evidence in abundance - and to be asked to present it is an insult to common sense.
Where should we start?
FOIA Files from each and every government?
Radar and radiation readings from all military investigations?
Video evidence of UFO's in the sky - acting intelligently?
First hand witness accounts?
Can the skeptics settle this once and for all and enlighten us as to what constitutes as 'proof'.

We require hard unambiguous data.
Something that would give good indication of non-terrestrial life is a sample of DNA,

It would seem some of you have fallen into the slippery sloped trap of a close minded view on what skepticism actually is.
Many, it would seem, think skepticism is about making a knee-jerk party pooper response of negativity when it comes to anything magical and wonderful.

You're making the assumption that their DNA would be different. What if the human race has been genetically engineered by these dudes using their own DNA.
I neither believe or disbelieve, I find the phenomena interesting that includes studying the behaviour of people like yourself.edit on 29-6-2013 by BullwinkleKicksButt because: (no reason given)
.something tells me it's: 1- more advanced than we can understand.

or maybe thats another conspiracy.
There seems to be some confusion about the concepts 'evidence' and 'proof'. One is quite different from the other. Legitimate scientific hypothesis exist, because there is evidence to support them. These represent possible explanations of certain reports and observations. If later evidence weighs against them, they may be discarded. Proof, as such, exists only in demonstrating the validity of a mathematical proposition. Quite a few credentialed and recognized scientifically trained persons have supported and do support the extraterrestrial hypothesis as the best available explanation for some UFOs.

The point is there is no evidence that proves ET are visiting this planet , if there were there would be no debate as we would know because there is proof .
What we have is interpretations of events or footage that could suggest a non terrestrial explanation but that is not proof nor is it evidence .

So are you saying that implants removed from people studied to contain materials not found on earth is evidence to suggest Alien contact?

I find it fascinating that a hard core skeptic like you claim to be has read about Haplogroups but admittedly has not read one single book on UFOlogy.
How can you be taken seriously with your beliefs and assumptions if you have not done your homework thoroughly?
