You have referred several times to "powerful evidence" and "irrefutable evidence" yet youve not provided any actual evidence beyond the normal eyewitness testimony, which is proven to be incredibly faulty under test conditions. Im not berating your logic, im simply asking you to substantiate your grand claims. I never stated that you believed in Angels, I was giving an example that eyewitness testimony is incredibly dodgy.
The point I am making is this. Many UFO believers say that there is such a multitude of sightings, and there are so many eyewitness accounts that there must be some truth to it. The same applies for people who have claimed to see Jesus or Angels. There is an enormous amount of anecdotal evidence going back centuries of such sightings. Does this prove that Jesus or Angels exist? For me, its not credible, and neither is the simple fact of thousands of independent UFO sightings.
Before I start here, I wanted you to know AP that refraining from posting a dedicated post centered on what a dick head, liar and troll (something that has been echoed here on this forum dozens of times in the last few years by various members)TD is, was one the hardest things I have ever had to exercise the discipline to do. I will prove that stuff shortly. MR. TD has crossed the line. He managed that when he called me a liar. It's not on at this point, it's done.
Now, the thing to make clear first off, is that despite having a personal first hand UFO sighting experience that lasted for about 45 minutes total, was witnessed by an unrelated person I was with at the time, and was further corroborated via our local paper the following day by several other witnesses that reported the same, I DO NOT "believe" in "Aliens". Period. I am also not stupid enough to blatantly and by that which constitutes nothing short of "blind faith", deny the very real possibility that they may in fact exist. Who can say for certain? I have made that much clear right here in this thread already. That's why I refer to myself as a logical speculatist. What I do know, and will proceed to offer irrefutable evidence to support, is that the phenomenon is real, technological, and CANNOT be attributed to the typical nonsense that the average close minded and pseudo skeptical scientist wanna be moron would like everyone to think.
First off, the two strongest forms of supporting evidence (note the inclusion of the term "support", this is NOT final evidence that constitutes repetitive control or proof of an absolute)are video (digital or analog)consisting of multiple documented sightings that have been both ground radar confirmed as well as having undergone seriously scrutinize analysis via lab testing by publicly skeptical independent sources, AND, by far and away the most compelling and irrefutable evidence is offered by expert first hand testimony. Those being Pilots, Test Pilots, airborne military identification experts, astronauts and all manner of aerospace personnel of official technical capacity.
Here is something to "get you going"

Now, lets talk Aeronautical expertise and those that possess these irrefutable qualities, that have witnessed UFOs first hand at a relatvely close distance.
major gordon "gordo" cooper:
On May 15, 1963 he shot into space in a Mercury capsule for a 22 orbit journey around the world. During the final orbit, Major Gordon Cooper told the tracking station at Muchea (near Perth Australia) that he could see a glowing, greenish object ahead of him quickly approaching his capsule. The UFO was real and solid, because it was picked up by Muchea's tracking radar. Cooper's sighting was reported by the National Broadcast Company, which was covering the flight step by step; but when Cooper landed, reporters were told that they would not be allowed to question him about the UFO sighting.
Major Cooper also testified before the United Nations: "I believe that these extra-terrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets... Most astronauts were reluctant to discuss UFOs."
"For many years I have lived with a secret, in a secrecy imposed on all specialists in astronautics. I can now reveal that every day, in the USA, our radar instruments capture objects of form and composition unknown to us. And there are thousands of witness reports and a quantity of documents to prove this, but nobody wants to make them public. Why? Because authority is afraid that people may think of God knows what kind of horrible invaders. So the password still is: We have to avoid panic by all means."
donald k. slayton:
"I was testing a P-51 fighter in Minneapolis when I spotted this object. I was at about 10,000 feet on a nice, bright, sunny afternoon. I thought the object was a kite, then I realized that no kite is gonna fly that high." As I got closer it looked like a weather balloon, grey and about three feet in diameter. But as soon as I got behind the darn thing it didn't look like a balloon anymore. It looked like a saucer, a disk. About the same time, I realized that it was suddenly going away from me - and there I was, running at about 300 miles per hour. I tracked it for a little way, and then all of a sudden the damn thing just took off. It pulled about a 45 degree climbing turn and accelerated and just flat disappeared."
robert white:
On July 17, 1962 Major Robert White reported a UFO during his fifty-eight-mile high flight of an X-15. Major White reported: "I have no idea what it could be. It was grayish in color and about thrity to forty feet away."
Then according to a Time Magazine article, Major White exclaimed over the radio: "There ARE things out there! There absolutely is!"
joseph walker:
On May 11, 1962 NASA pilot Joseph Walker said that one of his tasks was to detect UFOs during his X-15 flights. He had filmed five or six UFOs during his record breaking fifty-mile-high flight in April, 1962. It was the second time he had filmed UFOs in flight. During a lecture at the Second National Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Space Research in Seattle, Washigton he said: "I don't feel like speculating about them. All I know is what appeared on the film which was developed after the flight." - Joseph Walker To date none of those films has been released to the public for viewing.
maurice chatelain:
In 1979 Maurice Chatelain, former chief of NASA Communications Systems confirmed that Armstrong had indeed reported seeing two UFOs on the rim of a crater. Chatelain believes that some UFOs may come from our own solar system, specifically Titan. "The encounter was common knowledge in NASA, but nobody has talked about it until now." "...all Apollo and Gemini flights were followed, both at a distance and sometimes also quite closely, by space vehicles of extraterrestrial origin - flying saucers, or UFOs, if you want to call them by that name. Every time it occurred, the astronauts informed Mission Control, who then ordered absolute silence."
scott carpenter:
"At no time, when the astronauts were in space were they alone: there was a constant surveillance by UFOs."
This is some SOLID food for thought AP. It is a very misunderstood and falsely condemned phenomenon. That much is certain.
