I don't object to skepticism. I was skeptical about UFO's till I saw one (although I really had not thought about them much at all up to that point). I object to people having a completely closed mind toward the mere possibility of something they didn't think of being real...

I object to an attitude of automatic dismissal and contempt toward someone else's experience or someone else's idea, merely because it is unfamiliar or unconventional.

And I am suggesting that that attitude has more to do with emotional security and ego issues than it does with evidence...pro or con. There is a friggin' MOUNTAIN of evidence out there by now about UFO sightings...but only those who already have seen one seem to CARE!!!

I don't think that's unusual. People are like dogs. They prefer not to be disturbed when their minds are resting, and their minds are resting about 99% of the time as long as their stomachs are full, going by what I see around me.
