What was it that made you a believer in David Jacob's book?I wasn't refuting your post, Donald, I was just merely adding to it, some thoughts. Not much to really comment on.
In fact, I'm very much involved with the UFO community, having read a number of books, and watched hundreds of videos, and so forth. If they are, indeed, visiting earth on a constant basis, it is the story of the century. For all of the issues non believers raise, I have learned compelling counter arguments. But, healthy skepticism, I agree, is a good thing. One should not accept every wild claim without at east a reasonable path of logic and some kind of evidence, hard or circumstantial. A scientist, of course, by virtue of the standards of their profession, they need hard evidence. But, for us armchair philosophers, a strong case and some soft or circumstantial evidence is acceptable in order to form a reasonable opinion.
I have never seen a UFO, nor met an alien. But, the most compelling book on the subject I've ever read was Dr. David Jacob's "Walking Among Us'. I real eye opener. It was that book took me from a curious onlooker to a believer, and it was the details, that I found compelling.
I too find the discussion interesting but I have to be honest and say that it's not because of the possibility of there being aliens. I need evidence for that.
It's more along the lines of the idea I presented on the pilots pulling a prank by using a phenomenon they likely understood for the purpose of pranking.
Anyway, you could tell me what made you a believer?
