The title of this thread is really counter-intuitive. At face value, it states that if there was proof, proof being the undeniable and provable evidence of something, it wouldn't be enough. If there was proof how would that not be enough?
Belief in aliens is almost like a religion when I think about it.
It is almost impossible to change one's initial opinion of UFO's being real or not.
And NEITHER side likes to admit when they are wrong.
Ok so what I'm getting at here is that NO piece of evidence will ever be good enough for the skeptics, ever IMO. Nothing short of shaking hands with an alien themselves is going to convince them that their beliefs are wrong.
What would you consider to be proof of alien existance?
IMO real proof would be unattainable online,
you would have to see it for yourselves to believe it.
If this is the case, then why bother trying to debunk evidence on here if the evidence itself will never be good enough?
Hypothetically, if a picture of a UFO or alien were to be proven to be authentic, would that be proof enough for you?
Probobly not, and you would just investigate further to prove it to be false.
Can believable info be presented online, or is this just a "gotta see it to believe it" kind of subject?
PS- I'm not attacking any skeptics here, I would just like to hear your thoughts, thanks.

What is wrong with you people. You sit here and say 'I can't believe stupid hoaxers have all this free time and boredom to do this' blah blah blah. What are you doing? You must be pretty bored to sit here and be a pest all day to someone who won't give you every bit of smoking gun evidence you fantasize about...
Some of YOU need to get a life and get off your high horse, like you are some master debunkers just waiting to say "told ya so" if these things don't come to pass in the next few months... Personally I think the last post was just so he could say "told ya so" when the events do come to pass. Maybe then all you arrogant grandmaster conspiracy experts will taste some foot. If the last post is true then I guess the test really shows how stubborn you can be.

Unfortunately these hoaxes divert us from the real deal. We have lots of GOOD cases that have not been sufficiently studied: Cash/Landrum is one of my favorites. JAL 747, etc. But instead we have to deal with Billy Meier, Mothra, and our new friend, GhostRaven.
