I find it incredibly comical that the 'moon landing' had only a couple of eyewitnesses yet over 50 million people claim to have seen UFOs, and people will believe the moonmen and not believe 'normal' people...
I believe normal people who say they see things. They just have no idea what they are seeing. They have no idea if these "things" are manned by intelligent beings or remotely controlled, or not manned at all. Perhaps UFOs are alive. People have no idea if UFOs are solid objects, and they have no idea regarding a point of origin. People tend to jump to conclusions with no evidence in the UFO arena. People see something they can't explain, and construct all manner of unrelated theories about an unexplained sighting of "something."
(I'm excepting the ones who claim to have been taken onboard ships, those I don't believe.)
Yes, but those couple of people that landed on the moon have the very highest credibility, while the credibility of the general public is usually unknown, at least initially. However, many witnesses do turn out to have high credibility as well - that B-52 crew that was featured on the Jennings special comes to mind.
OTOH, if memory serves, I think most UFO specialists believe that over 90% of sightings have prosaic explanations - which still leaves a very large number of cases that cannot be explained.
It is a fascinating subject, and has the potential to be a good bit more than fascinating.
