Yeah well, who do you believe?
The scientists who say, if they were intelligent? They would contact us...

Or your own eyes and ears - to know this world is so backward
and barbaric that no intelligent life would want to contact us.

And what is truth? What is true...?
Seeing "What happened on the Moon".... shows that the Apollo moon landings
were all faked - because of the many inconsistancies in the equipment,
which did not make it possible to carry out the mission, nor able to
record it, as in the photographic images. The photographic equipment
were not made space or moon-proof, therefore they were all faked.

You obviously believe in the mainstream media, and that of popular
public opinion, as being the 'truth' and anything outside that,
could not possibly be true...

So essentially what you believe is that when is comes to UFOs, (and
the moon landings) anything the government says is a lie... anything
that a scientist says is a lie.... and anything that the "mainstream
media" says is a lie.  So it really doesn't matter to you at all what
they say, or what they can prove- its all automatically a lie.

OTOH, the above is a collection of people who should know; very smart
people educated way beyond the 8th grade; and people who are by
definition highly skeptical of of the first two groups.  And yet-
these three groups agree on the subject of UFOs (and the Moon
landings).

On the other hand, you find that doing all your "research" only at
sites dedicated to "exposing" these "lies" now makes you knowlegable
on these subjects.  I don't suppose that it ever occured to you to
spend an equal amount of time at sites detailing the other side of the
stories. I didn't think so.  In particular, there are several really
good sites dealing with the bonanza of information that was gleaned
from all the science done as a result of the moon walks, and the stuff
they brought back.

Regarding UFO's, there is not one case on the record that clearly
points to a exterrestial flying craft.  Not one!  There are plenty of
wild stories, easily debunked[1] "sightings", and lots of cons that
have enthralled the faithful for years.  The belief in UFOs is nothing
more than a mild case of mass hysteria brought on by years of
Hollywood hype enthralling the easily gulled.
