Now I'm not dismissing any of their lives, far from it.

You already have.

Must I really repeat myself?

You must, you seem to love regurgitating the same old meaningless platitudes.

The hoaxers, carnival barkers, and mental patients have done far more damage than I ever could.

You consider the previous mentioned aviators and astronauts to be in that category? They have all observed phenomena that cannot be explained, you prattle about "where's the proof", the fact is that even if there isn't an extraterrestrial craft parked outside your humble abode wherever it is in Tennessee that you reside, it doesn't mean that there is no "proof". You cannot see gravity, but you feel it's effects. You breathe in air to feed your lungs even though you're unable to actually 'see' that air. And the neurons of your brain (close minded as they are) continue to fire even though you are personally unable to witness their activity.

You are merely a run of the mill contrarian, if you experience something that fits into your personal framework of what "does" or "does not" exist, then it exists. However if you are confronted with something that you've already made your mind up about does NOT "exist", nothing that anyone can do is going to convince you otherwise.

There have been many encounters between the pilots of both commercial and military aircraft, and unidentified flying objects. Those pilots are professionals, trained to observe anything and everything they may encounter, and they are not 'hoaxers' or 'carnival barkers' or 'mental patients', they are individuals that are entrusted with the lives of others on a regular basis, even though you would dismiss them as insane.

Their observations and conclusions quite frankly carry far more weight than your puerile, hide-under-the-bed, denials.

Now I'm sure that for you, this has been an enjoyable episode of mental masturbation but now it's time for you to give your figurative wrists a rest.

Enjoy your closed mind.
