- *QUACK* Your assumption of "blindly" is based upon your position, and not
- upon any attempt to quantify the capabilities of the observer.
- Again, let's stop denegrating people because they see something they can't
- explain. If "UFO research" is an attempt to test the theory that the
- unexplained "things" are alien spacecraft then this is neither more or less
- valid than an attempt to show they are weather balloons.

- It seems that your domain is "blindly" ascribing attributes and methods to
- persons based on them reaching conclusions that differ from yours.

- A fair viewpoint, but you must keep in mind that science and reality have
- done a poor job of dealing with what they have experienced. Perhaps if there
- was less use of "blindly" and words like that they would be more inclined to
- listen to scientific opinions....

- So certain, are you? Could you please identify the original author, and how
- they came to be motivated to make up such a tale? If so, I'll credit your
- viewpoint, otherwise you are making an assumption based upon your conclusion
- that things like this don't happen, rather than showing that the story is
- fake and therefore concluding it didn't happen.
