A Definition of "UFO Skeptic"

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

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

up

the truth.

Any Comments on this?

Yes, my comment is that you are delusional.

Whatever you may think of researcher on a personal level,
his definition of a Skeptic is sound.

No. It is the biased whine of a saucerhead whose favorite
theory du jour isn'r wildly aqpplauded by one and all.

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.

Pull your head out of your ass! The skeptic asks for evidence, 
evaluates it, and then makes up his mind. A disbeleiver looks
at whatever has been vetted, and flatly refuses to give it any
currency.

A skeptic doesn't need to believe or disbelieve anything.
He/she relies on reason, not belief, to come to a 
conclusion.

HTH
