I get rather pissed off with discussions that get nowhere,
usually when someone thinks they're right and offer no proof or reason.

You can't simply listen to one source, and say - oh, yeah, he's right.

eg.

Astronomers say - Oh, I haven't seen a UFO, therefore they don't exist.
Sure they look at the night sky more often, than most other people -
but pilots must also look upwards as well, and are just as competent
observers.

Because they are part of the 'establishment' and have responsible positions
they have reputations to protect. So unless they have the proof for it,
they'll most likely not offer forward any strange and unusual observations.

And there's the so-called UFO / government conspiracies to address.

If a government had a crashed UFO - what would do they do?

Wouldn't it be a matter of national security - and the best thing would be
to keep quiet about it?
When has any government have the good of the people at heart?
If there was a way to gain politically from it, maybe they would release
such information? If it makes them look foolish, maybe they'll stay
forever quiet?

And if they have a crashed UFO - would they ever admit to it now?
Oh, by the way we had one for about 50 years now, and since all of the
old government have now died, we can release this information now.
They'll just look like bloody idiots, releasing the information just now,
instead of long ago.


Observations don't lie.
If there was UFO sightings - then they've happened in different times,
all the way back to and through biblical times (Book of Ezekiel) to the
present day. In almost every country of the world.

There is enough video footage present, from amateurs to military
photographic/video sources.

The question is more likely - when will the governments admit to it?
And the military.

There is no hard evidence - hey, here is a crashed UFO.
But there is enough other evidence that is sufficient to convince everyone,
something funny is going on.
