I have an open mind on alien intelligence, I really do!

I will be convinced that such creatures exist when:

- Evidence is published in a peer reviewed scientific journal (rather than broadcast in a rather dubious and uninformative interview on a crappy rock music radio station).

- Some world leader appears before the world's mass media with a real live alien ambassador.

Until such events, or similar, occur I will remain sceptical. And I will continue to harbour doubts over anecdotal evidence or even personal observation of (unidentified) lights in the sky.

Finally, I continue to maintain that UFOlogists are far more interested in quasi-religion and paranoid conspiracy theories than they are in actual aliens.
