Close enough.
Correct understanding is that I know for this single event that it happened. I don’t have to believe that something like that could happen on earth, I know it’s possible.
This doesn’t extend to granted support of all weird alien theories and various sighting reports or YT videos. Just knowledge that something of that could be real but almost certainly is not and that we can’t know.
Scientific approach above all if proof is required.
Who suggested alien comms using other than physics as we understand it? That one escaped my attention..
Okay then, bearing in mind the thread title, let me ask the obvious question: why do we still not know or care that people - especially commercial airline pilots - are having these hallucinations?
Similar to hand-waiving as to the lack of clear images of UFOs in the year 2020: how have still not found a way to screen commercial airline pilots to ensure they do not jeopardize the safety of the passengers with these delusions?
Wrong. Eyewitness testimony is must certainly circumstantial evidence.
Beyond that, in the classical model of the scientific method, observation itself is a requisite to forming a hypothesis.
It’s an uncorroborated account. I’m surprised that if it came back for a number of days, they did not get others to witness it or ask the authorities to investigate.
Nothing strange there. It was at the end of 1944. and happened in the small village 60 km north of Croatian capital Zagreb. Authorities were occupied with the war effort. That glowing balls were showing only at the evenings, when people stayed at home if possible. Surely, many saw strange lights in the fields but simply dismissed that, as it was war and you had more pressing concerns. It was the same with my father’s teacher that pulled those, as interesting event, many years after.
Yes, especially for fast occurring events. It’s very different when you have hours for leisure observation.
All I accept of claims like this is that something happened. Without further corroboration, and an evidence based explanation, that's where it ends for me. I will never believe any claims of otherworldly or supernatural phenomena unless given reasonable evidence to do so. "I don't know" isn't a reasonable reason to believe or even consider such claims. This is Religious Apologetics 101 Fallacy Number One: "We don't know, therefore God."
I just stop at "We don't know." Everything else I file under BS. That is the agnostic perspective. The root word is "gnostic" which means relating to knowledge. "Agnostic" literally means "I don't know" which is what I say when I don't know. I don't need xombies and hobgoblins to fill the gaps.
I don’t disagree with any of that, however, the assertion was that eyewitness testimony is not evidence, which is is incorrect.
Yes Eddie, it’s called poisoning the well.
In my experience, skeptics are just as likely as true-believers to invoke ET, except they do it make a mockery of the subject. The difference is that true believers cannot be helped whereas so-called rationalists should be capable of knowing better.
I am very interested in evolution, geology and the early Earth history, so discussing aliens in the context of this sort of thing, and knowing other potentially multicellular life supporting planets would have had a similar journey to ours up until say 500 million yrs ago is a good discussion. Because then we can let science inform the discussion, and not conjecture.
Did they now? If they really did I suppose there was something. A bird? An aeroplane?
80 years old sh*t.....
give it up... wait for the real stuff instead - be sure they are coming and when they do - there will be no argument about it.
They will be nice, reach out for a handshake and say... Hallo!
