Actually, the problem UFology has is itself. There is zero hard science,
only conjecture, unsubstantiated claims, outright lies, and perhaps some
degree of psychosis and other forms of mental illness.

el: "Yeah, you're definitely correct.  Ignore the, by now, millions of
photos, films, videos taken by equipemt that cannot judge what it's
recording.  The problem with UFOlogy is jerks such as you."

Falling back on the old tried and true "governmental cover-up" excuse
doesn't do it for me either.

el: "You can't deny that there have been governmental cover-ups
connected with UFO reports but not for the reasons given by blind
believers."

Does life exist in other parts of the universe? Of that I have no doubt.

el: "So, here we have circumstancial evidence for unknown "craft" which
you dont accept, but you accept life on other parts of the universe for
which we have bupkis evidence.  What a harebrained "skeptic."

Intelligent life? Of that I have no doubt as well. Is it simply a belief
I have? Yes.

el: "With that comment you admit that you are a conditioned individual
who doesn't rely on evidence for beliefs, nay, a knowing."

Can I prove the existence of it? No. Can UFology prove the existence of
it?<snippedblabber>
