And they’re all humanoid! And before someone starts by saying “convergent evolution”, I’ll say I’d be able to accept that, but only on one condition: one maybe two species seen in all history of UFO sightings, yet we have dozens. Also, yeah, no...

As I (and others) have noted before, the wide variety of types of appearance and the many years they've been in the public consciousness make the presence of alien life in our atmosphere even LESS probable, not more. One craft from one source...

Not only that, so many different types of aliens! Dozens of species, presumably from dozens of worlds, many of them reportedly with an array of different sorts of ships -- all coming to Earth over multiple decades, all overcoming the incredible...

Is it reasonable that UFO personalities should be asked to stand by or dismiss or acknowledge in some way the related claims of the people they associate with at UFO events? Or is it unfair that we assume that just because they get a photo...

The history would suggest "yes."

This zooming in on bright lights in poor quality pixelated digital videos trying to see detail that isnt there is not new. It was done with Kumburgaz video when people said they could see alien heads through the spaceship's hatch...

Followed by "There are so many reports there MUST be something to it!"

How would you know?

Interestingly I am a trained bird observer yet when I say things are gulls over on the Reddit UFO page no-one accepts my trained observer credentials..

Exactly. We see this all the time. In criminal investigations, everyone who was at a specific location at a certain time must be interviewed, regardless of whether they believe they have anything important to say. This almost never happens when...

To be fair, there IS training that might help one identify a specific sort of thing in the air that might otherwise go unidentified. Some military folks will, as part of their training, learn to recognize incoming aircraft or drones or missiles...

An issue seldom addressed is that this interview process will usually leave out witnesses who saw the same thing and interpreted it as "Oh look, an airplane" and forgot about it because it was not interesting

Yeah, I see that expression as UFO propaganda. I believe there are accurate witnesses and inaccurate witnesses, but it doesn’t just depend on “training”. Also, a trained pilot is trained to be a pilot, not so much to identify apparent...
