You see them all the time, often the same ones, whose whole agenda is devoted to disputing almost any and all alien phenomena
and assure you that it must be nothing more than misinterpretation of events or an out and out hoax. You could write the post for them as you know what they will say.
Their logic is good but it is myopic and one-sided.
To them phenomena that appears to be related and caused by an alien intelligence can not be so
Why do they persist?
Why are they trying to deny the reality of alien related phenomena?
I find them to be a drag attempting to ruin what is interesting and exciting and trying to make it seem mundane and inconsequential.
To listen to them you could not even enjoy good science fiction
I say 'Deny ignorance' and open your minds and eyes to a universe that is much stranger and more exciting than your imagination can yet comprehend
they add nothing but confusion to the alien enigma whose existence can not be denied.
To them phenomena that appears to be related and caused by an alien intelligence can not be so - You must be seeing it wrong and/or interpreting it erroneously.
Is it not this kind of dull and myopic reasoning similar to that of religious fanaticism
they add nothing but confusion to the alien enigma whose existence can not be denied.
I say 'Deny ignorance' and open your minds
A team of British scientists is convinced it has found proof of alien life, after it harvested strange particles from the edge of space.
The scientists sent a balloon 27km into the stratosphere, which came back carrying small biological organisms which they believe can only have originated from space.
Professor Milton Wainwright told The Independent that he was "95 per cent convinced" that the organisms did not originate from earth.
"By all known information that science has, we know that they must be coming in from space," he said. "There is no known mechanism by which these life forms can achieve that height. As far as we can tell from known physics, they must be incoming."
Some of the samples were captured covered with cosmic dust, adding further credence to the idea that they have originated from space.
"The organisms are not usual," said Professor Wainwright, who works at the University of Sheffield’s Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology. "If they came from earth, we would expect to see stuff that we find on earth commonly, like pollen."
"We're very, very confident that these are biological entities originating from space," he said, acknowledging that absolutely certainty is hard to achieve in science......

Alien species have not visited this planet. We would have known if they had.
It's ridiculous to believe that a species has travelled thousands or millions of years to come here and then immediately be enrolled into some secretive government program – an American government program in most cases. How utterly and totally pathetic – for them, if it were true, and for whoever believes it.
Don't get me wrong, I believe civilisations must exist somewhere – we cannot be the only ones. But they haven't come here. Possibly they never will as the distances are just too far between potentially habitable systems. Add in the difficulties of actually travelling through interstella space and keeping a body alive in that time. For anything other than relatively short distances it's science fiction.
Let's assume they have got here, somehow. What would WE as a people do when we orbited another world? Mutilate cattle? Draw pictures in corn? Have aerial burnouts with the locals? Get cosy with one particular government (above all others of the whole civilisation)? Be convinced that we should remain a secret, despite travelling our whole lives to get here? Anyone who believes that is beyond my comprehension, and most of the scientific community.
Alien species are not here, have not been here and probably never will. I wish it different, but it's not.

To listen to them you could not even enjoy good science fiction as they would assure you that it is impossible for events to so enfold . Is it not this kind of dull and myopic reasoning similar to that of religious fanaticism that wants the world to stay in a conservative backward dimension of ignorance where both the truth and the imagination can not go forward into the future? How can the alien presence be seen if those who would deny even its possibility blind you with rhetoric to the truth of what is occurring and what you are seeing? I say 'Deny ignorance' and open your minds and eyes to a universe that is much stranger and more exciting than your imagination can yet comprehend and debunk the debunkers, they add nothing but confusion to the alien enigma whose existence can not be denied.
