seeing with your own eyes a UFO making impossible movements in the sky evidence?

No, it's only evidence of a craft capable of making such maneuvers. You are assuming they are alien. You have ZERO proof of that. People believe what they want to believe.


Meh, if the UFO is doing things in the sky that Science says are impossible for aircrafts to do then it is safe to assume it isn't one of ours.

In fact, if you saw a UFO do things that Science says are impossible for aircrafts to do then you are not believing what you don't want to believe.

What did you see?

I once knew an engineer in St, Louis who was a firm believer in UFOs - he had seen one himself and described it in great detail.

He was not a wild-eyed conspiracy type guy, rather a straight up sane engineer type right out of central casting. His 'testimony' made me think twice about my own predilection of discounting all other such 'sightings.'

I still don't believe they exists, but am willing to listen.

That's being a reasonable skeptic and having an open mind to the possibility that they might exist.

Skeptics and scientists who think there couldn't be more intelligent beings than humans existing in the universe are just biased close-minded unreasonable pseudo-scientists.

No, they understand science better than you do. You apparently have no grasp on the vast distances between the stars or the craft or energy it would take to cross them. We are talking energy equivalent to the big bang to 'warp' space (as if anythng could survive that). Do some real science reading and your eyes will open how Star Trek and the lot will always remain fantasy. We will never reach another star, and no being has ever traveled from another star to Earth. There are no new elements to be discovered. There will never be 'dilithem crystals' to power a 'starship.'

So if there are more intelligent beings in the universe, we'll never know. Period. Unless we get some kind of 'radio wave' from their distance past. There will never be a face to face meeting.

A 'string of pearls' daylight sighting involving 3 disks. They were high in the sky, lasted a long time, and didn't move particularly fast or make any maneuvers.

I'm asking him if he would consider seeing a UFO making impossible movements in the sky evidence.

Eyewitness testimony is notoriously bad. That you pretend to not know this and ignore all logic is your fundamental problem.

I mean come the frick on with your answer regarding why these sighting aren't suddenly making cell phone video all over the world. Pahleez.

HD video shows up and is in almost everyone's pocket(and hell, usually in their hands), suddenly, no one can get a picture.

Of, if they do manage to get a pic or video, it looks like the goddamned Zapruder film.

Well, um, if I saw that, I'd probably video it.

But, I would also at least consider that my perception of what a craft at several thousand feet is doing could be skewed.

Human vision isn't really all that exceptional. Especially in terms of spatial awareness where the visual cues are difficult to ascertain or non-existent.(Ya know, like in the sky)

That's not the kind of UFO sightings I am talking about. They didn't do anything impossible to do based on our present scientific knowledge.

BTW, if the objects were high in the sky then how did you know they were disc shaped?

I'm talking about UFO sightings where the UFO makes impossible aerial movements like stopping on a dime or doing an instantaneous 180 degree reversal of direction.

Yeah. I don't think it's a legit assertion to say "we will never reach another star".

I mean, it's not wrong necessarily. It's just not definitively correct either.

Our science is very much in it's infancy.

Many eyewitnesses have done that.

I didn't say the UFO was always several thousand feet in the sky.

What if it was 2 PM, a clear day and the UFO was a few thousand feet in the sky then it quickly came down to only 500 feet above you, stopped on a dime and hovered silently for 15 seconds before slowly moving away revealing a 2nd identical UFO where the first one had just been?

Absent knowledge of the size of a craft, humans are literally incapable of discerning altitude visually if it's even a thousand get away. If it's several thousand feet away, the human estimate of altitude is little better than a guess.

And again. Where's the GOOD video. GOOD video.

Ah, the usual ridiculing laugh of a biased close-minded skeptic who knows everything about what exists in the universe.

The north Koreans fired a fricking rocket that landed in the damned ocean and MULTIPLE security cameras in Japan caught it at the same time.

If these things are as common as sightings suggest, we should have hundreds if not thousands of videos of them at this point.

I laughed because you intentionally skipped part of my post in your reply.

I don't know shite about what exists in the universe.

But. I do know logic.
