Like.
No, I don't think so. There are a good many people that I personally know who may not have the scientific know-how to debunk the tales, but think they're too silly to take seriously. The fact that the UFO crowd are vocal doesn't mean they... -

The fundamental problem is that the WhistleBlowers promised us ALIENS, dead ones for sure and maybe LIVE ALIENS! And they promised us Crashed UFO's, lots of them, huge ones hidden under buildings! Where are they? We have lots of fuzzy dots in...

They might want to start by turning their lights off at night, if they don't want to be detected... often said in jest, but I think it makes a valid point. If they are real, super advanced and do not want to be detected, why allow themselves to...

In some ways that reputation is a trap. If Villaroel were to publicly come out and announce that she had recanted her previously held opinions because she found the evidence did not support it, THEN the stigma would be coming from her previous...

Winner.
Just to respond to a couple of ideas put forward... Yet decades and decades after the earliest claimed crashed craft and/or recovered aliens, nothing substantive has leaked. This goes back even further to to 1897 if you want to count the... -
Ddebunkerdave reacted to Andreas's post in the thread Is there a “UAP phenomenon” worth studying? with
Agree.
But have we really learned anything new? Something worth a scientific study? Sure, we may have learned that a blurry dot in a video probably isn't a spaceship, and that's important given the extraordinary claims that were made about it. But... -

Science vs Scientists vs UFOs We really should flag this usage as unacceptably vague. "Science" is not a person and has no opinion of it's own. "Scientists" is a catchall for a very very large collection of professional disciplines that follow...

I would bet, it's free money at this point. The precedent-setter is Philip J. Klass, again, 40 to 50 years ago: The $10,000 offer In 1966, Klass made an offer that stood for the remaining thirty-nine years of his life. By 1974, the offer had...

Ddebunkerdave reacted to flarkey's post in the thread Is there a “UAP phenomenon” worth studying? with Like.
the point I'm trying to make is that the very nature of the NHI hypothesis and its postulated characteristics (advanced intelligence and/or technology) makes it unfalsifiable. Conversely, anomalous prosaic phenomenon - eg new forms of lightning...

It's kinda similar to "perpetuum mobiles/free energy gadgets come from people who lack the physics knowledge to understand what they're doing, or hoaxers/hucksters".

Yeah, but at that point we're at "UAP reports come from people who lack the knowledge/experience to debunk them".

No anomaly has ever been, in 80 years.

AAndreas replied to the thread Transients in the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey.Read something I found a bit interesting. Yesterday, Avi Loeb wrote about the latest batch of UAP files released, calling them "the Most Intriguing Release Thus Far." Hm, intriguing is probably not the word I would use, but that's not something...
