yup- I've seen several documenteries on Roswell...it does make me curious, and I don't doubt that the story has gotten VERY convoluted in 50 years, but there are way too many half-truths and 'almost' evidence for me to say "aha! Now I know exactly what happened!"

You gotta realize, my friends...I am not **DENYING** anything in particular, nor am I accusing anyone of lying. I am a sceptic in the best sense of the concept. I am waiting until The Stealth aircraft used to be VERY secret stuff, but now we see clear pics of them and know what some of those strange sightings were. ANYONE can see them now..(not 'bang' on them of course, but plenty of images that leave no doubt)...unlike 'saucers' and such that are reported in various degrees of clarity. If there are still classified "black" projects zipping about, that might explain some of it, and I wouldn't be surprised....but aliens? We have to make SO many assumptions to seriously believe aliens are HERE....new assumptions about laws of physics and biology especially.

Since we already know that we humans, under various conditions, can see & experience things that seem quite real, but are not caused the way they seem, I simply wait and shrug....Occam's Razor is my guide, and an open mind is my goal.

There is a fine line between an 'open mind' and .....well, I want to say 'gullibility', but that sounds condescending...there must be a word for being 'impressionable' that is not an insult, because I KNOW that honest people have had experiences that moved them and that they can't deny or shrug off. I have had dreams that shook me up, but I will NOT make assumptions about why or what they mean.....

...so...the title of this thread is "UFOs do not exist!" ...that is not my thesis. I just say that there is an awful lot we don't understand about our own experiences yet....and wait....and wait....
