Ah yes, the old name calling in place of reasoned argument. Films and photos do not "prove" much of anything, other than an image of SOMETHING
that is claimed to be extraterrestrial craft. Making a claim is one thing. Proving it is another. Show me the craft. Period. End of discussion.

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

you dont accept, but you accept life on other parts of the universe for
which we have bupkis evidence.  What a harebrained "skeptic."

Sigh...........my belief in the fact that there is life in other parts of the universe is no less valid than your belief that aliens have visited here. What evidence do I have to back up my belief? Well, for starters, the FACT that astronomers have discovered more than 100 extrasolar planets so far bolsters my belief that one day we will find direct evidence of extrasolar life as well. Second, the FACT that right here on Earth, we find life in places where we once presumed it next to impossible to be. Specifically I am referring to places such as thermal vents deep within the ocean, where temperatures are so extreme, and there is no sunlight that permeates these depths. Yet here in this hell, we find life that thrives. This is the EVIDENCE that keeps my belief firm.

And your evidence? Half truths, outright lies, and skeptical, unsubstantied rumor at best.

who doesn't rely on evidence for beliefs, nay, a knowing."

Sorry, but Pavlov had no influence on me whatsoever. As to evidence, see above.
