I’ll try . . . simply and briefly. Otherwise, it gets far too tedious to bother that much.
1. WHEN one sets up a criteria of proof that becomes outrageously unrealistic—say well beyond what would be needed to convict a murderer to die for murder . . .
2. THEN one has set up a virtual certainty of being bitten by the consequences of insuring a virtual certainty of a TYPE II ERROR.
3. The hoaxes are weeded out—certainly eventually—and what’s left are . . . VERY SOLID TESTIMONIAL AND OTHER EVIDENCE.
4. for example . . . MORE THAN 4,000 TRACE LANDING CASES WHEREIN SOLID SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION HAS PROVEN TANGIBLE EVIDENCE . . . FROM magnetic anomolies; soil anomolies, vegetation anomolies and even trace elements not normal for the terrain.
5. Naysayers seem compulsively addicted to insisting that ALL EVIDENCE IS HOAXED EVIDENCE . . . drum roll, because they say it is. That’s idiotic—AND A SETUP-FOR BEING VICTIMIZED BY A TYPE II ERROR.
6. The above facts and conclusions are EASILY ARRIVED AT by a minimum of thoughtful pondering—even by folks with an average IQ and an average level of fair-mindedness.
Not being in psychology, I don’t really know about type II errors, and I’d even agree that the majority of these UFO cases can be explained prosaically. But there are enough examples of bizarre unexplained cases out there, testified to by people of unquestioned professional disciplines, including members of the US military, that no thinking person can dismiss the possibility that the explanations for the phenomena are non ordinary, whether they attributed to alien intelligences, creatures from another dimension, or some other as yet unhypothesized reality. At least IMHO ;-)
Quix, some people cannot accept that there are UFO’s because of their own belief in God.
For some reason they can’t blend the two into their own concept of God.
