You Don't Have To 'Believe' In UFOs Any Longer By James Neff
<webmaster@sightings.com>  5/28/00

Whenever I hear the question "do you believe in UFOs?" there often arises

an

instant feeling of frustration which quickly rolls over into fatigue and a

sense

of pity. To most of those who have devoted even a reasonable portion of

time to

acquiring an understanding of the phenomenon, the term "belief" simply

doesn't,

and should never, apply. To use this expression shoves the UFO over into

the

category of religion or even fantasy, and nothing could be more inaccurate

or

counter-productive. It takes absolutely no leap of faith, no mustering of
imagination or whimsy for any rational mind to realize what is already a

proven

reality: UFOs exist and are as real and the
Pacific Ocean or the Rocky Mountains (and may have been here just as

long). The

simple fact of the matter is, UFOs (and whatever may be INSIDE them) are a

real,

verified and massively documented phenomena ... but much of our culture

and

language perpetuate and cling to the erroneous notion that we're dealing

with

some kind of specter or myth.

One might 'believe' in fire-breathing dragons or fairies ... yet, there is

no

evidence whatever that either of these exist. However, one need only look

at the

facts now in evidence to see that 'flying saucers' (not merely

"unidentified

flying objects") do, indeed, exist. Those who know UFOs are 'real' need to

make

a serious effort to cease using and condoning that negative terminology of

doubt

inspired by our disinformation-driven culture. "Are you aware of UFOs?"

(i.e.,

"have you been educated on the existence of flying saucers?") should have
replaced "Do you believe in UFOs?" in both text and conversation long ago.
We no
longer are soliciting people to 'believe'. Instead, we are (or should be)

asking

the uninformed to become educated to the facts. The issue of visitors to

this

planet, wherever (or whenever) they originate, is as vital an issue as any

world

geopolitical, religious, or economic affair or policy. In fact, it is

probably

far more important.

It is simply a matter of education. The evidence we have for the existence

of

unidentified flying machines, even if we toss out all photographic

evidence and

all abduction accounts or close encounter experience testimonies from the

most

reliable, credible civilian experiencers, is...massive.

No it isn't.  There is no convincing evidence that any craft of
non-terrestrial origin have ever visited this planet.
