I have watched them...

Either they are gullible, or they know how to manufacture a book to make some easy money.

Don't stress it. As a very young person I dearly wanted for aliens to be real. Then I grew up Big Grin

Quote:The documents that are being released under the freedom of information act, seem to be corroborating testomonies like these.
The 'proofs' offered at this news conference are open to scrutiny.


Corroborating testimony seems to be more credible at law.However, such testimony tends to be relatively ordinary.

A claim of alien visitation(s) is extraordinary. Such claims have been made thousands of times ,often by very credible witnesses. So far,not ONE piece of credible evidence has ever been produced.


With such extra ordinary claims , I demand extra ordinary evidence. Personal testimony is simply not enough.If it were, I would be a religious believer instead of an atheist and skeptic.


Please note that I am make no claims of my own,I simply do not believe there is enough credible evidence to draw a valid inference. So no,the testimony is NOT 'compelling' to me, it's 'mildly interesting'.

Step 1: Provide "evidence"
Step 2: Profit
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Did you ever see Alien Autopsy? British film with Ant and Dec (who you probably don't even know).

Was pretty fucking funny.
