UFO& Aliens... the Easter Bunny for adults.
I listened to Art Bells show for a long time before I caught on. Alot of the Art Bell guests are just ‘Story Tellers’ like Mr Frisby (Andy Devine) in the Twilight Zone. There is no proof for these things and these things dont require ‘belief’ as does religion. In the last 50 years, with video cameras and 3+ billion people on the planet, no one has concrete evidence that these things exist except through photography which can be misinterpreted and faked. I think I’ve been rather generous in the last 50 years of waiting, but at some point as an adult you have to ‘go figuring on things’.
Before Dirac, did quantum mechanics exist?
Sometimes, human understanding has to catch up to hyper-weird reality.
There are over 7 billion people now.
Outside of Art Bell, I find it much harder to believe that so many people, including a loved one and a few friends who've shared stories of seeing these things, and whose characters I know well, are simply telling fabulous outlandish lies for entertainment, completely out of character. That strains credibility much more than the possibiliby -- make that probability -- that UFOs extraterrestrial in origin exist.
