Attention? Money? Fame?

I don't dismiss all stories that I've heard, as there are some documentaries I've seen, that can be convincing.

No..people don't risk their reputations as kooks claiming to see something that noone ever sees. I certainly wouldn't make up a story about seeing a ufo. It would be embarrassing.

Did you review the 4 accounts I've posted so far of multiple sightings of ufos?

How can you even ask such a question?

For attention.

Do you think the internet invented publicity-hounds? It's common human behavior.

Noone wants attention as the guy who saw the ufo. Coming out saying you saw such a thing is an act of courage in itself, seeing all the mockery and ridicule you will go thru over it.

Some people crave attention. Making outlandish claims, then being very loud and angry about their lack of acceptance, gets some people the attention they so desperately desire - and that they cannot achieve by any legitimate means.

If he's offering alternative explanations, then the burden is on him to evidence them. That's just the way it is.

No, that's just your kooky way of avoiding the fact that the onus is on you to show that UFO's are of Alien origin, which you have never done.
And typical of the title of the OP, you avoid answering the valid reasons why they are not of Alien origin, along with the many other possible alternative propositions. You see I do not know what most UFO's are really...except that the likleyhood of them being of Alien origin is near non existent, for the many reasons I have given and the same reasons you either ignore and/or fabricate some stupid, unreal scenario around those possibilities.
And finally all the nonsense you claim in your many threads to keep this paranormal/Aliens/Bugfoot/Supernatural nonsense alive, is confined to this forum and makes no difference in the logic and sensibility of the greater wider scheme of things in the greater wider community in general.
Just more ho hum type of nonsense that we all have learnt to expect.

Getting back onto the subject of the thread, probably the biggest, kookiest "nonsense that has ever been proposed on this forum, was that crazy debate a while ago, re some insane claim that science has never benefited mankind. :) :rolleyes:

No...people don't want to appear as the loud and cranky kook who saw a ufo. That people come forward at all is an act of bravery and a testament to the credibility of the eyewitness.

Last I checked, this was the General Science and Technology forum. In the science section of the forum.

What this means is that unscientific, trying to prove aliens exist, does not actually belong in this sub-forum.

Magical Realist, I understand that you seem somewhat personally invested in this subject. Taking personal offense to the OP is not permission to then go on to try and prove to everyone that UFO's are proof of aliens visiting Earth. We have the Fringe UFO sub-forum for you to post that there. Posting the same, well, bullshit, youtube videos that you spam the Fringe forums with in the Science forum (ie in this thread) is not permissible.

People who are posting in this thread and forum wish to actually discuss science. In this case, quackery in regards to "science" in particular. This does not include or involve UFO sightings. 17 pages and the majority of it has been people wishing to discuss science and 'quacks' in science, instead having to deal with your trolling a science forum thread with your intent to prove UFO's are real, not to mention your other trolling of it. Really, how many times have I and the other moderators and admin informed you that posting this rubbish in the Science Forums are not acceptable and against this site's rules? Filing reports when people become naturally cranky at your filling this thread up with unscientific rubbish is not going to work well in your favour.

As it is, I will be closing this thread and moving it to the Cesspool. Because there is nothing worth salvaging in this thread at this point, because it has been trolled with unscientific rubbish from the start.

If paddoboy wishes to re-open this thread, or repost his OP to discuss 'quackery' in science, he is welcome to because this thread was trolled and flamed to kingdom come with unscientific and the very definition of quackery fringe subjects.

But keep it within the realms of science. In other words, posting youtube videos of UFO sightings and articles about UFO's being aliens is not for this thread or this or any of the other science sub-forums.
