Millions of people around the world over several decades have seen them. Famous people have claimed to have seen them. I have seen one, too (up close).
If you want to play pretend, shut your eyes and cover your ears, you can go right ahead and do so. But it is impossible to debunk undeniable fact. And it is the height of arrogance to believe we are the only form of intelligent life in the universe.
The article and the link speak for themselves. I am sufficiently open-minded to be interested in any point on point rebuttal.

I've seen plenty of things in the air that I couldn't identify -- especially at night.
What I have not seen is anything, the appearance of which excluded or prohibited the conclusion that it was of terrestrial origin or some natural phenomena.
If I ever did see such a thing I'd hope to get a good long look at it. In fact, I wouldn't mind investigating the subject -- most witnesses never seem to be questioned at all effectively.
What I'd ask people to consider is that these reports started coming in around 1946 - 48, i.e. at the precise time that many people riding around in piston engined aircraft started seeing the occasional jet go by them at two to three times their own rate of speed. A P51 or F8 might have had an outright top speed of 430 or thereabouts, but no piston engined plane ever cruised at that speed; cruising speed for piston engined planes was never much more than 250.
They want FTL travel yet they continue to be mesmerized with electromagnetics. It's a farce starring the Three Stooges.
BS
It's hard to see the string until it hits a knot.
Thats pretty pithy -- onto my Potential Tagline list it goes!
'Faraday wept' ping.
LOL
The fact is, the truth is out there.... :)

Umm, if I pretend to believe, will a sexy redhead lick my face? |
In late 1985, I was living in New Paltz, NY, in a boarding house with my brother. We were sharing a room on the first floor and one evening he, the landlord and another person were outside in the backyard while I was in the room, reading a book.
My brother, Frank, ran to an open window and shouted to me, "Matt! Come out here! Quick!" Because of the urgency, I jumped up and out of the house, running to where he was. At that, he pointed up in a direction to my right and said, "Look!"
That's when I saw it: A triangular object, with lights all over it, a few hundred feet in the air and as many yards away from us, moving very slowly over the trees, and making absolutely no sound whatsoever.
Now, Frank decided to contact the local Sheriff, who contacted the nearest air base. The Sheriff's office told us the air base responded with, "It's just a fleet of planes flying in close formation." Uh-uh. For one thing, at that altitude, even at night, the shapes of the planes would have been quite discernible. For another, again from that altitude, the sound of the jet engines would have been very loud indeed.
Are you going to tell me I did not see what I know I saw? What was personally witnessed by three other people?
You saw something, but not up close. You have no hard evidence, nobody ever does. All word pictures, stories, flapping of gums.
Have you posted the details of your sighting hereon? Would love to read them.
Thanks.
To state yet again . . . my close blood relative saw them coming and going routinely in his Nevada highly classified job.
Really BS?
Just because YOU haven't seen one up close?
Ahhhhh, yes. Proof positive. /sar
Somehow, I'll take my relative's word over yours easily.
