I agree. I had known about UFOs before I saw one, and my prior knowledge helped me to recognize the situation when it happened. However, with respect to the replies to Marty, they looked to me like they were in the context of this statement: So in that context, while it's true that having such knowledge beforehand doesn't mean Walton was fabricating, it pretty much eliminates Marty's reasoning for believing Walton's story. Although to be fair, perhaps it would be prudent to ask exactly what information Marty is talking about, and how that evidence is is "known" when evidence about the details of the aliens or their craft is still fuzzy at best.
