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?

 Well, it's good that you're interested in the factual data and have
no
preconceived notions...


All technology was once based on a preconceived notion.


Wrong.  Most technology is based upon tried and true methods, and
previous understandings of technology.

<ahem> I'm not normally one to embrace pedantry but in
this case I will indulge:

Before anyone can apply their "tried and true methods"
they must first have an idea (notion) to apply those methods
on.


Almost all technology is based upon previous forms of technology.
Can you prove otherwise?

What??? you mean, like the invention of the motor car was based
on the prior invention of the wheel and the combustion engine?

But even so, the motor car didn't evolve all by itself - someone had
to have the idea first.
