No solid evidence for extra-terrestrial space craft.

No solid evidence for Ripped's personal definition of UFOs, either.

I suppose if you can't score a goal, then it's time to shift the goalposts, right?

:roll:

No relief from the denials and obfuscations from the usual suspects who would apparently rather hide truth from the public.

Neil deGrasse Tyson makes a very good point. I think you should watch the video and pay attention.

Another corroborated filmed incident, complete with an idiotic official 'explanation'.

Neil deGrasse Tyson actually addresses the point of turning one's ignorance of something into an extraordinary belief. And it helps that the media know how to tickle your ears and make you reinforce what you already believe, but it doesn't mean you're being told the truth.

how do we know there are NO UFOs? why is it wrong to believe in the possibility that, as we study our earthly primitive cultures, that we ourselves doing the studying are in turn the primitives being studied by other more advanced cultures from elsewhere?

We don't know if there aren't. We're just saying there isn't sufficient evidence for UFOs for us to say with confidence that they exist.

The overwhelming media coverage of ET's & UFO's is negative and derisory.
Does that mean you skeptics have had your ears tickled?

Well of course it is, if the quality of "evidence" you've posted here is any guide.

... a collection of related beliefs about the world that he mistakenly regards as being based on valid scientific methods, or that he mistakenly regards as having the status that valid scientific truths now have ...

I have looked at all that CRAP you call "evidence" for extra-terrestrial involvement behind UFO's (and pyramids too), and found it all to be worthless. What isn't based on bogus data is based on false assumptions. Furthermore, the plural of "Anecdote" is not "Data", and your "evidence" for extra-terrestrial origins of UFOs is no better than the "evidence" presented in a Chick Tract for Heaven or Hell.

Do you want to know how to fake a UFO photo? It's easy. You don't have to read this article, but I know everyone else will.

"Faking UFO Photos for the Twenty-First Century"

Here is an image of a "UFO" being photographed in front of a green screen:

Image

You may even recognize this close-up of the "UFO" from the above image;

The rest of the article shows the "UFO" inserted into various landscapes.

You may now consider your "evidence" thoroughly falsified!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Ah Fnord, it is so good to hear from you.

Yes it is easy to fake a 'UFO' photo, trouble is they almost all immediately look faked.
But this is just talking about photos, not footage and not millions of witness accounts.

Fnord, Google 'Phoenix Lights' for me.

Mass hysteria and people seeing what they want to see (Pareidolia).

Most likely military parachute flares.

One UFO nutter that I used to be friends with claimed to have proof that they were extra-terrestrial in origin. He demonstrated his "proof" by pointing a hand-held spectrometer at the CRT of an old-style television set while a video-taped recording of the event was playing, and reading the results from the spectrometer.

"See? Rare-Earth metals! That proves it!", he shouted.

I changed the channel to his favorite Christian Televangelist and asked him to take another reading.

"Rare-Earth metals, right?", I asked.

He was dumfounded, until I pointed out that Rare-Earth metals are used to coat the inside surface of a television's CRT in order to provide the colored image. Then I said, "Either that, or Pat Robertson is a space alien."

He stopped being my friend after that. I guess some folks are a mite sensitive about their religious beliefs ... :lol:
