Re: Debunking Pseudoskepticism: Common fallacies on ET/UFO

Well, you see, my interest in Time Travel and Parallel Universes primarily comes from growing up watching Quantum Leap and Sliders (the later of which was created by Tracy Torme, himself a UFO Researcher).

I think it's very possible. I'd love to see concrete evidence for either. But, as a facts person, I want to know whether or not something is true, rather than just believing something, as belief is useless to me, knowing is everything. Either things are, or they aren't. Right now, there is insufficient data on those topics, but I'd love to see them proven.

I have Carl Sagan's hopefulness though ...

"If we could travel into the past, it's mind-boggling what would be possible. For one thing, history would become an experimental science, which it certainly isn't today. The possible insights into our own past and nature and origins would be dazzling. I have no idea whether it's possible, but it's certainly worth exploring." - Carl Sagan

hey lets face it
some of the people here got confused with Lost
but the people that believed in a guy not feeding for 65 years got confused with Sesame street

You mention science in the hopes of associating your failed claims with science. The belief in UFOs is not science. It is not comparable to science. You are guily of hyperbole and gross misrepresentation. Your claims of "staggering amounts of evidence" is just a blatant lie. And the statements made by eyewitness accounts are not facts. So to claim that someone is falsifying facts is actually weeding out nonsense.

Here you go:

Summary: In November, 1986, a Japanese crew of a jumbo freighter aircraft witnessed three unidentified objects while flying over Alaska, USA. This sighting gained international attention when the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced that it was going to officially investigate this sighting because the Air Route Traffic Control Center in Anchorage, Alaska, had reported that the UFO had been detected on radar. The UFOs in this case were tracked on both ground and airborne radar, witnessed by experienced airline pilots, and confirmed by a FAA Division Chief.

What is going to be? Mars and jupiter? Reflections? Hallucination?

too bad it was in 1986
now that everybody carries a camera is easier to tell what it is than when it was just stories
