Why are you resorting to this? I merely asked for proofs. Threats of annihilation (the blade comes down) and accusations of Type II errors. Let me post a simple model of the Scientific Method:

What is your hypothesis; where is your test; and even more important - what is your analysis? What is your conclusion? And what is it based upon? Given the tone of the posts and the lack of facts, I think that those who propose alien presence are guilty of a Type III error.

I’ve noted the more than 3000 cases of landing evidence impacts on the environment scientifically collected and analyzed.

I’ve observed no serious good faith effort on your part to understand this phenomena.

I don’t wish to waste any further time with you.

Study the topic for 48+ years yourself and get back to me—convincingly.

Bye.

PS

Do NOT expect any pings from me about the topic.

You can wait with all the other naysayers for it to appear in your back yard, front yard, lap, CNN nightly news.

What is Science?

Put most simply, science is a way of dealing with the world around us. It is a way of baffling the uninitiated with incomprehensible jargon. It is a way of obtaining fat government grants. It is a way of achieving mastery over the physical world by threatening it with destruction.
Science represents mankind's deepest aspirations - aspirations to power, to wealth, to the satisfaction of sheer animal lusts.
The cornerstone of modern science is the scientific method. Scientists first formulate hypotheses, or predictions, about nature. Then they perform experiments to test their hypotheses.
There are two forms of scientific method, the inductive and the deductive.


Science for Everyone

Sound simple? It is.
Once, when the secrets of science were the jealously guarded property of a small priesthood, the common man had no hope of mastering their arcane complexities. Years of study in musty classrooms were prerequisite to obtaining even a dim, incoherent knowledge of science.
Today, all that has changed: a dim, incoherent knowledge of science is available to anyone. Popular science books, magazines and computer programs - with their simple, fatuous and misleading prose, their garish illustrations, their flimsy modern production values - have brought science within the reach of anyone who can afford their inflated prices or who can mooch off someone else.
Indeed, today a myriad of sources are available to explain science facts that science itself has never dreamed of.
This web site is one of them.

from Tom Weller's Science Made Stupid, 1986 Hugo Award Winner.

Cheers!
