With respect,... "Extrordinary claims require extrordinary evidence"
is Bullshit. I don't know why people buy that baloney. ANY claim
requires evidence sufficient to support itself and no more. Evidence
is evidence. This attempt at "being reasonable" is merely a spider's
web to lure you into a disadvantageous position and set you up for
a rhetorical spanking.

Then let me be more specific: There is absolutely no evidence given in the case
of UFOs...and no evidence means a useless claim.

Get out your famous dictionary ; testimoney is evidence ;

Have someone get an encyclopedia and read it for you so that you can see and
understand that testimony is *legal* evidence, not *scientific* evidence.

there is more than
enough evidence to support the phenomenon of ufos ,it isn't conclusive

If it isn't conclusive, then you cannot say it "supports" it. Get a clue please.

as to
being caused by aliens, some of the evidence seems to poiint that way some
doesn't, but then that is a theory not yet tested as noone has come up ,as
of yet ,with a good way to test the theory

It isn't a theory if it is a wild-arse hypothesis.
