If expert witnesses, and who could be more expert than someone who actually

qualify as evidence.

The BBC interview was just a chat, it was not a court of law where
expert opinion may be used to support a legal case.

If he had film then that may be actual evidence of something, though of
what may be debated.

However it would be truthful to say there is absolutely no evidence to
support the church of scepticism, except the mistaken belief that any
absence of evidence is somehow valid as evidence, when in fact it is just
absence of evidence. Basing a belief on the absence of evidence is more akin
to a religious faith than a rational scientific approach to these issues.

That is called projection. I am not making any claim as to whether they
exist or not, you are. I am only pointing out that there is no actual
evidence. You seem to take the word of the priests of your UFOlogy
cult, such as perhaps Marcel or Von Daniken or Berlitz or some others,
and are impressed by how ignorant the egyptians must have been, it is
surprising they could find the ground when they fell over. I don't see
any mystery at all over when or how the egyptians built the pyramids
(though I do wonder why) as I can see how they could have done it.
