Ha! I'm not going to discuss semantics (or indeed grammar) with you, regardless of how much I'd like to, but that story was not well written or argued.
Suffice it to say, that if I were to make up a story like this it would be infinitely more believable.
But you see...it's not a story. If you were expecting story time then that may account for why you cannot recognize an informative and engaging invitation for intelligent discussion when you see one. He's compiling research data and presenting it for discussion. Like a power-point presentation with discussion afterward. He's not making up anything. There are however, "made up" stories on the site. I believe they are posted in the fiction section.
I didn't invite you to discuss either semantics or grammar with me. Neither would likely turn out very well for you, so that's probably a smart move. I replied to a comment you made stating that there is no definition for "alien", letting you know that with all of your self-proclaimed skill at storytelling you seemed to have forgotten how to use a dictionary. Just a kind reminder. It's always helpful when mocking another person's writing skills to at least attempt to get a grasp on the language yourself first. Otherwise, you just end up looking foolish. So it was my good deed for the day. I'm a humanitarian like that. Have a lovely evening.

i know, i was just rambling for the sake of rambling. Nice to meet another beliver by the way.
Thanks, but I'm not a 'believer'. This is not religion. These are facts that people chose to ignore. Sad, but true.
You're kidding, right?

So 70,000 annual reports of UFO sightings are not evidence?
No, they are not. Most of those are misidentifactions, and the remaining few that are actually 'unknowns' are not conclusive. If there were actual, conclusive evidence, it would be on every television station and the front page of every newspaper on the planet.
Most the remaining 'unknown' are alien spacecrafts. People have seen and interacted with these alien beings. You seem to conveniently forget that.
Oh yeah, nevermind... they're all lying, ill or mistaken. Sure...
From 1:17 (ignore the subtitles).
There, proved.
*sigh*
Again, you've proved nothing.
We read your explanations about the incident. Please, we are all eyes.
Do you not understand how remarkably unreliable witness testimony is? Or that it in no way constitutes proof of anything? I thought that point had been made enough already in this thread....
Question: If I were to design an experiment, and perform said experiment. Dutifully recording everything, and publish that data...What would it be called?

if you are trying to compare this to aliens, then the difference is in your equipment and how they record.
Pray-tell, How do you record a species of Alien that can sap electronics of power. Teleport, And is never to far away from a spaceship that can Alter space and time? Do you plan on bringing a poloroid camera? Because that's about the only thing that will work, you know. Should you capture the right shot before they cloak or teleport out of view of the camera. Or they could just let you take a picture, Then abduct you and the camera and you would just be another missing person.

Not at all. Why do you people just ignore these cases is beyond me. It's like you're playing a character, or just like to engage in tedious discussions.
Still waiting for your explanation on the Pascagoula incident.

You're going to be waiting a while then, because I have far better things to do than try to explain somebody's story. If you come up with any actual evidence, however, please let me know, and I'll gladly drop whatever I'm doing to look at it.

You shouldn't try so hard to be so clever...it doesn't work well...
Stick with the simple, well known...and you will always come out ahead...
And, yes, it would be data...another word for evidence...just as testimony is.
You stated that as IF I didn't already know...

I just think people wouldn't beable to cope to a superior intelligence. Because it's already he're.
Where specifically?

Another distinction should be made between belief and testimony, if you ask them, do you believe in the Tooth Fairy and they say yes, then that's a belief, not a testimony. Now if you ask them whether they've seen the Tooth Fairy and they say yes also, then at this point, you have to look at the psychology make-up of the child.
Anyway, where's your source that hundred of thousands of kids have claimed that they've seen him?
