Hello, impactstyles. Welcome (back) to the board. What was your previous handle?

No, I don't think you're crazy, but I do think you might want to switch to decaf for a while.

I am not certain UFOs don't exist (as alien spacecraft). I don't think they do because the evidence is crummy. A series of fakes, misidentifications, anecdotes, and ambiguous and unrepeatable data. And I am looking at the big picture. Yes, I've worked in aerospace, and I've worked in the defense field, which gives me some insight into the nature of the claims and also into the behavior of the organizations you mention. I've also learned something about cultural reinforcement and groupthink and the malleability of memory in particular and subjective experience in general.

I will become a believer in ET visits the instant I am shown hard evidence - not anecdotes, not unverifiable claims, not ambiguous data. Really - I want to believe it - it would be amazing to know the neighbors have already dropped in to visit.
