"Certainly not brilliant..." I was just being kind. But you are right.

There's a lack of evidence that dragons exist. Does that mean "...everything is suspect, and we lack the big facts?" Or does it mean dragons are an imaginary creature invented in the minds of man?

And what do you mean by "big facts?" Is there little facts to suggest UFO's are more than unidentified-flying-objects? Meaning an object that was spotted flying in the sky is unidentified to the witness of that object at that particular time?

I certainly wouldn't suggest that because someone "witnessed" a streak of fire in the sky that dragons exist. I'd simply conclude that what that witness saw was something they couldn't conclusively identify. But to jump from seeing fire in the sky too dragons must have caused it is fiction.

Something being unidentifiable while flying in the sky is a huge difference than extrapolating that said object is alien in origin. Meaning from another planet. There is no way to jump from lack of understanding to a conclusive fact.

Oh, those little nagging questions...like the origin of the universe, does life exist outside of this planet. You know.

I've seen things through the eyepiece of an optical telescope that I could not identify. One such object, or point of light was certainly well outside of our atmosphere, and beyond moon as a matter of fact. I have no idea what it was, but it appeared to be moving rapidly, and disappeared out of the eyepiece field of view. I have a few hours experience behind an eyepiece, and I was pretty much blown away by that. So you understand, I am not suggesting it was a flying saucer, or some type of craft.

I don't know what it was, but I'm pretty sure I know what it wasn't.

So you know, I've spent literally thousands of hours looking at objects outside of this world and obtaining extreme low light film and digital images of deep space objects. Not to mention lunar/asteroid and planetary images.

But thanks for the tip.
