I understand, and the truth is I would agree with you if this was- let's say - twenty years ago or so. The trouble is I've been following developments in this field for a long time now, and time is what has caused me to lose faith in UFO studies. The reason is simple: for the past fifty years, through flying disks and CEIII's and abductions and cattle mutilations and all the rest, not one scrap of conclusive proof has surfaced. None.
Additionally, you have to consider that, although there are a great many frauds and jokers out there, there have also been some very serious investigators - some of them actual scientists - who've dedicated years to the field. How is it even possible that, in all that time, not a shred of verifiable proof has shown up?
By verifiable proof I mean a piece of a UFO, or a dead bigfoot(a real dead bigfoot), or any phenomenon that can be demonstrated with regularity, so that science can observe it. If the government really was hiding info about UFO's, all we'd need is an official signed document from the government. Just one.
Even a decent film of a UFO taken in the presence of multiple witnesses would count, and so far we've gotten nothing good enough to qualify.
If paranormal phenomena is real, then what is needed is solid proof. Not evidence, but proof. That, and only that, will bring respectablility to the field, in my opinion.
I, understand your frustration with the ufo topic. It is also may opinion, that solid proof will be the only way, 'ever' that the topic can become a accepted reality.Everything is based on eyewitness accounts, videos, radar, physical traces, and somethimes if they are to be believed Goverment insiders?
But, i have seen things, others on the paracast forums have also and probably millions of other people around the world. I can't believe, through the centuries and we today, "who have seen things" 'that somehow it all just an illusion created by our brain chemistry.
How, would this be even possible since we have alot of good photographs and videos of craft.They should, not even be on a photograph. We have photographs going back a couple of centuries and yet this objects seem to be in the picture.It not caused by the camera or we be seen lot more ufos than we do in pictures.
Some, of the top generals, in the Brazilian goverment, mexico goverment, french goverment, have spoken about the ufo topic would they even talk about the subject. If they all believed it all to be nonsence.In 1952 President truman spoke about the ufos buzzing over washington. Ok, no prove there.
President Ford spoke about the topic. Other Presidents, like Carter and Reagan, saw something which seemed to involve ufos. Ok, they all imagined it? How do you explain the memo from FBi Director Edgar Hoover were he talked about the flying discs.
In Belgium, the Air force there saw a unidentified object on the radar and sent up their jets to follow it. A photograph, from that time taken shows a object which is not identifiable to anything we have seen in our sky today.
I could go on, we have lots more prove of something unknown.
But, i understand, 'why' your have the frustration. But, to say there is notting to the ufo phenomen is simply silly.
For, me, I have never seen the 'Afterlife' or anything i could prove.Yet, i believe when we die. We do go on.
