True believers are exceedingly gullible. They are easy targets for con artists because ‘they want to believe’. Exactly what con artists looks for. The problem with in open mind is you risk your brain falling out.

True. On the other end of the spectrum we have the non-believers who wouldn't accept the obvious if something landed on them.

That's a straw man argument used to accuse people who are investigating a topic of already having their minds made up.

It's the height of intellectual dishonesty (and a very unintelligent logical fallacy).

You need to make sure and follow traditional US Air Force protocols.

If you see a UFO close your eyes for a whole minute.

Hopefully they will go away—and then you won’t have to face the ridicule of friends and family.

Is this from personal experience? Did your brain fall out.

Please note: I did not use the term "open mind." Three appearances on this thread to the moment find that others did. I did not.
