Hopefully they won’t look for you!

I guess I disagree a bit here. Yes, more data is always better and maybe there is something interesting, but the history of UFOs is largely a history of mostly explainable things. Misperception, faulty memory, bad photos, outright hoaxes and as...

If a video reveals two blurry pixels in one frame, it's simply unknowable because the information is simply not there to be studied. "Deploying the right sensors" is not a thing that most sightings can do, if the thing is fleeting, or (as happens...

Fair! I just don’t think studying the subject with better sensors and possibly with more accessible data is a total waste of time and money.

I get it, you're uninterested, I'm not. I'm not going to fight over this. Since when is curiosity a belief system?

But so many people are seeing the same kinds of leprechauns across decades. Now we have military and government folks talking about leprechauns. Have to address goblins and leprechauns wherever they pop up. Regardless of the reality of UFOs...

@Andreas You might find this interesting. https://skepticalinquirer.org/exclusive/investigating-ufos-a-conversation-with-swedens-clas-svahn/

You said: I understand it as "it's worth believing one might be red". A lot of things "have been said", including unicorns, fairies and leprechauns. Nothing is worth believing just because "it has been said".

And at the same time the number of prosaic objects in the air at all ranges has, ahem, ballooned. More than 15,000 satellites in low earth orbit, including 10,400 Starlinks. (https://planet4589.org/space/stats/active.html) More than 44,000...

Person A: "America has an epidemic of (racial group X) assaulting & killing (racial group Y). Something must be done!" Person B: "Based on what?" Person A: "Here are 25 cases that absolutely prove it!!" Person B: "Okay, it took a while, but all...

And in reality we've been doing that for a pretty long time, sure mostly without the explicit goal, and nothing has emerged.

Then you've misunderstood @jarlrmai's point and comitted a category error. He's not discussing individual cases to which light can be borne, he's discussing the class of all UAP reports: no matter how good a sensor is, there will always be a...

This is totally off topic for this thread, however if an anecdote and a fuzzy photo is a "good example", can you provide the source for this so we can start a dedicated thread? There is no sense in debating the merits of this case, or others in...

You should be! Like a cancer on the planet. We know better.

I'd differentiate between debunking the existence of aliens or God, and debunking that a particular incident resulted from aliens flying by or a direct intervention by God. The latter seems doable, and more likely to be accepted by at least...
