- How can you say there is no proof for UFOs? That is simply a crazy

- But on one thing, I'm appreciative. You've given the first explanation
- I've read as to why Believers such as yourself feel moved to post
- here- you percieve people not sharing your beliefs to be "infected" or
- even "infections."
