A Definition of "UFO Skeptic"

Someone that is fundamentally in denial and has a mind closed like a steel

Alternate definition:
Someone that is being used by the Government or other special interest

group

to deliberately lie about UFOs or make up fake UFO stories to help cover

the truth.

Any Comments on this?

Yes, my comment is that you are delusional.

Whatever you may think of researcher on a personal level,

I try not to.

his definition of a Skeptic is sound.

If you think so, then you are delusional too.

The true definition of a UFO skeptic is merly someone who listens to all
the baseless ravings flowing out of the UFO cult and then asks "what
evidence do you have to back up any of that?" Then when no real evidence
is presented, the skeptic quite correctly writes off the ravings as the
utter BS they are. HTH.

No. That is the definition of a disbeliever.

No, it is the definition of a rational person. You see, for things that are real, no belief is required. You can prove they are real. However, when someone appeals to belief in a debate, it is a clear sign that they have nothing real to offer to back up their claims, and are just shoveling BS. A rational person can see that a mile away. Why can't you?
