Once again, I was listening to one of my favorite radio shows tonight.

The host posed a question to his guest that went along the lines of...

" If eyewitness accounts are, in most cases, enough to get someone convicted in a court of law...why are eyewitness accounts by people like policemen, firemen, and airline pilots completely scoffed at when it comes to UFOs "

After all..wouldn't policemen and the like be the people we would believe the MOST???

Kinda curious what people might think about this one.

I don't think they are completely scoffed at. It would be very difficult to investigate a sighting though without any physical evidence.

I'd say because most people don't want to believe there might be something else out there...

personally, it scares me

I've seen a very strange UFO before, I know it was not a plane or a helicopter. It was about the size of a football field, it flew just below the clouds, was black with three large lights, in a triangualr shape, red, green, and white. It did not make a sound and looked like the bottom of a B-2, but it was a lot bigger, and it glided slowly through the air.

Somebodys been listening to Art Bell again !

Art Bell hasn't been the regular host of Coast to Coast for a couple of years now. Art is retired, although he does do fill in work every once in a while.

The host is now George Noory during the week and Ian Punnit on the weekends.

I was never a big fan of Art because he was a bit too pompous for my taste.

But yes, I do listen to Coast to Coast AM...lmao

Why would the idea that we aren't alone in the Universe frighten you??

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I KNEW IT !He was on the other night from Panama or Costa Rica or something says thats where his wife is from !

He's currently living in Manila, Philippines. He has a daughter named Asia and puts pictures of her up on the C2C website occasionally.

After his first wife died, he wound up meeting his current wife online. lol

I'm scared of alot of things.

LOL.

Fair enough.

I'd still like to see what people's thoughts are about why in a court of law, eyewitness testimony is sometimes very important....

But...eyewitnesses in a UFO case, even if they are normally considered completely honest and reliable....are somehow " lessened " when reporting a UFO sighting.

Because UFO's--"outer space aliens"--aren't real. And anyone, regardless of their occupation, who claims to have seen one has officially lost their mind, negating any authority, and is currently living in a fairy land.

The End.

(Note also: Eyewitnesses usually don't witness things whose existence is in question; murders, robberies, car crashes, etc. actually occur; no one questions that. Having "police" or "firefighting" credentials is so irrelevant to the point of justifying aliens' existence and is so ridiculous a dichotomy that it actually pained me to write that. Just now. They could pay anyone "of authority" to say they saw something alien, first of all, and even if they truly thought they *did" see something, what on earth difference does it make what job they work, what "authority" they have, in such a context? Their account is still specious as anyone else's! Unless the "aliens" they saw were on fire or planning a drug heist, I doubt those individuals had any authoritative input on the matter!

Agh!)

So, regardless of what line of work you are in, the fact that you saw something unexplained simply means that they " lost their minds " because they saw something that " doesn't exist "???

By the way, just to make sure this is very clear...

I never, at any point, said that UFOs = " space aliens ".

In Mexico City a few years ago, thousands upon thousands of people AL saw something unexplained in the skies over the city.

Did all of them " lose their minds " simultaneously??

In a court of law you have to convince 12 people who couldn't find a way out of jury duty. To prove UFOs exist you have to convince millions of people who want to believe they are the most intelligent beings in the universe that they're not. Which do you think is easier?

Oh now THAT is an excellent point.

Could it be that people simply don't want to accept that we may not be unique or the most intelligent species in the Universe??

It is unbelievably arrogant of us to think that we, as a species being only 10's of thousands of years old, are the highest forms of life in a universe that is Billions of years old. And the sooner we realize this the better.

not sure what the smiley means. Tell us what u think.
