Oh well I guess. I absolutely wouldn't accept the word of an anonymous member on a UFO and alien message board. Your entire belief system could be filled with delusion for all I know. What I do know is you consistently argue the existence of intelligent alien beings on Earth with zero actual evidence of that.
You try to skirt around providing physical evidence yourself, but the physical evidence required is set by the believers themselves. They've claimed over the last 6 decades, extraterrestrial beings have crashed space craft, landed, interacted with humans through abductions, implants, etc. All physical Earthbound accounts and incidences that require some type of physical evidence to back them up.

Which is why I said its being willfully ignorant, denial of what thier being told because they want top secret testable evidence yet they cant test it and arent in the circle of trust to be given such material.
Well, I have to agree for the most part, especially "willful ignorance" part. Though I do have some issue with those who insist that science supports their position, when in reality it does not...partly why I asked the question; "How would you propose we test?" I'm sure there will be very few responses to that question.
The real problem is we have all "put our foot in it", and we will track it into everywhere we go...Ignoring it won't make it go away!
"denial of what thier being told". Imagine that: not believing that which we're told when there's not an iota of testable evidence proving that it's fact. How dare we not follow the herd.
Why do agree that not believing unsubtantiated claims is willful ignorance? Could you explain?
Okay...HOW, are we going to test? What are we going to test?
What would or can you do to test any of these claims?
If you were presented with data, would you be able to recognize what it was, interpret what it says?

in your scenario there could be a wealth of data in the story and the "telling" of the story...and that is where our psychologists will come in handy.

One problem, and, I'm certain you are not only aware, but attempt t leverage this; much of the "evidence" you demand would be classified as a national security issue...thus you aren't allowed to know. I offer you something that isn't classified, and no matter what I present, it is unacceptable to you.
It is seriously RICH that you speak of James Randi and his challenge, yet apply absolutely no "rules" to what you accept as evidence, and what you do accept conforms to no other rule that your own private set.
Over the past 60 years you have been presented with an abundance of physical evidence; you have summarily rejected all of out-of-hand, without giving it benefit of inspection. That is not only very unscientific, but feeds your own delusions that there is not evidence. If I were to present you with evidence in the form of probabilities, you would neither check then, not accept them. AND, you would do so firmly believing that absolute proof is the only way to go; when in reality such a thing is not possible.
I can give you a star, a planet, and a Race of Extraterrestrial with a rather high probability, and wholly testable data...but, I suppose that wouldn't work for you.
Your problem is that you demand evidence and uniformity, and that only you create the rules; it doesn't work that way.
When you can accept the rules of evidence as they are currently defined, let me know, perhaps we can discuss this all again.

Evidence is that which is testable via the scientific method.
What testable physical evidence has been presented over 60 years that proves that extraterrestrials exist, visit earth, and abduct people?
You can give us a race of extraterrestrials with a rather high probability? What does that even mean?
When it comes to fact, science sets the rules and the rules call for evidence to be tested via the scientific method.

Oh, now you can't back up your claims because the evidence is a matter of national security?

No, I'm telling you that the kind of evidence you want, in that instance, isn't available to YOU. That would be a report of the "inner" workings of an organization that is in no way obligated to tell you anything, and, it would be either the U.N, G8 (now 7), or the G20 that would have to supply such data.
You do understand, that I can't provide "valid" data of that, it must come from an independent source, a third party. Otherwise the data shouldn't be considered valid.
Y'all need to stop riding, and get off your "willful ignorance" horse. You need to begin to understand what the "rules of evidence" are, and how to apply them. If I released DNA data, would you demand I "prove" the data is correct? Or would you want "your" laboratory to test also? Or better yet, an agreed upon third party? There is an obvious correct response there...do you know what it is?

No need. It was correct. You are not an alien.

I'm not so sure about Ancient Aliens "planning" Humanity. I am very sure however, that the interactions with Extraterrestrials back in the day was/is the norm in this part of the Galaxy. I am very sure that these ancient aliens had a very significant impact on the evolution of the Terrestrial Human Species. That Terrestrial Humans learned a very great deal simply watching these off-worlders in their day to day lives.
I also believe that Terrestrial Humans learn very quickly, and sometimes a bit to well (various terrestrial war-machines). It was these aliens that introduced the ideas of science, technology...precipitated the bronze age, as well as others, and the notions of greed, war, hate, and other negative idea. I also think that Terrestrial Humans would have learned those things on their own...given time.
I have found what I believe is evidence that these extraterrestrials may have contaminated the Terrestrial Human gene pool, but, logically, that sort of thing may be common place.
IF we seriously examine the ancient record we actually find serious evidence of several species visiting. There are myth and legend of species from Nu 2 Canis Majoris (Sirius), and from 39 Tauri (Pleiades) that date back some 6000 - 8000 years. By the way; Nu 2 canis Majoris; Reptilians. 39 Tauri; tall whites/Nordics.
Of course all this is based on absolutely no real evidence; since we all know, for a fact, there is no evidence.

No need. It was correct. You are not an alien.
Why is it that you must avoid the real issues here, and try to twist everything

Because we have different definitions for "real".
And no twisting required. I can link the thread where you debunked yourself with DNA data.
Why yes it most definitely is! I use such things as the Periodic Table of the Elements, the Hipparcos star catalog, and other absolutely fictional stuff! Like the "Structured Query Language" (SQL), and such things as a language called C, C++, and C# along with obscure libraries, other languages like Python, Java, and others. so yeah...full of delusion.
