Why do most people with AS believe in UFOs?

Post Reply New Topic

An UFO does not automatically become an alien in a ship from another star system. It is just what it says it is: an unidentified flying object. People are too irrational and scream "alien" when they see something.

The governments really should turn off the streetlights to prevent people from reporting alien invasions...

To the OP,
How can you be so naive to think that UFOs are a mass conspiracy - in the direction of being false?
Any person that does research into the matter will conclude they do exist, otherwise your once healthy skepticism is replaced with blind ignorance;
Mass sightings, credible sighting by teachers, politicians, military personnel, etc. all a mass conspiracy?
Here are some famous people who believe: General Douglas MacArthur, J Edgar Hoover, Monsignor Corrado Balducci, Professor Stephen Hawking, Jimmy Carter, Dr. Herman Oberth, Dr J Allen Hynek, Air Chief Marshal Lord Dowding, Ronald Reagan, Mikhail Gorbachev, Richard Nixon, Dr. Walther Riedel and more...
What makes more scientific sense? Religions, or, the interpretation of ancient visitors as gods and divine beings? I mean look at all the evidence of UFOs in ancient artwork and writings. There are accounts of them stretching back throughout all of human history spanning across all different civilizations.
Billions of people blindly believe on faith alone in their religions, but all the UFO evidence means what to them? That shows that human conditioning is so strong that some people will ignore common sense and rationality because of the lingering sense that people who believe in UFOs are somehow crazy.
Look at it this way, look how far humans have come technology wise in our short time on this earth. Is it possible to conceive that within the next 4 million or so years of exponentially growing technology and globalization of society that we perhaps will be visiting other planets? If you think to yourself, yes, that is perhaps possible, then why not other planets that have perhaps produces intelligent life forms who have had 5 million or more years of being around the universe than earth been able to do that? Oh wait they probably have.
Do some research, don't base your skepticism off your upbringing and ideas that humans are the s**t.
Because we aren't.

I don't believe anything. Belief is an emotion I lack.

Aliens? They could easily view and observe us via means that avoid visual and radioactive detection. Interstellar transportation requires many things in regards to cognitive development which leads on to technological development, where viewing, categorizing, defining and understanding everything on Earth from many, many light years away, is but a stroll through a park compared to getting here. Sure, I'm viewing this from the perspective of a human, but we're all bound to the same laws in our four dimensions.

I don't believe in UFO's, anymore than I believe in God...then again, I don't disbelieve in either as well. I can't say I believe in anything that I have no physical experience with....though at the same time, I find it hard to believe we are it in the big picture. Seems almost narcissistic to believe that humans on this planet are the supreme beings of all creatures. Oh, and the OP seems very condescending to me.

Why are you shouting?

I have something interesting to add for those of you who want to do some research on UFOs.

In the USA (I can't speak for other countries here), the first mass UFO sightings occured around the 1890s in the midwest, western states. People would report seeing an inflated kind of craft with a gondola underneath it. Some people said they would see a ladder drop and a man descend the ladder. Interesting is that in twenty years, airships came into being as passenger transportation.

In the USA in the 1940s many people saw UFOs that looked like saucers. Interesting again is the fact that the military was working with a saucer shaped flying craft (though it was never said to fly well). Hollywood also portrayed UFOs as saucers.

In the USA in the 1950s-1960s, many people saw boomerang shaped UFOs with lights. Again, interesting because this was the time the military was working with the "Flying Wing" which became the Stealth Bomber. (Work on the Flying Wing, which was thought to be a good passenger aircraft idea, may have begun in the 1940s).

Now, many people see individual orbs of light that behave erratically. Could we be seeing military experiments?

For those who believe in alien life, it could be that the military gets its ideas from other worldly places.

Well...it is fun research.

I heard this once about Area 51. Suppose they are testing top-secret experimental aircraft. What better way to get the curious people to quit trying to spy out these experiments than to spread a rumor that Area 51 is working with crashed alien craft? The public then turns their attention on alien cover-ups rather than experimental military aircraft.

i only believe in identified flying objects.

I don't. I also don't believe in psychics, anything supernatural, bigfoot or other nonsense.
