My thought was that intelligent life very likely exists right in this galaxy, but that it was probably not making house calls. I'm an evidence sorta guy. Problem is, when I finally got past the decades long practice of ridiculing anyone who's interested in studying a phenomenon, I found that there is stacks of evidence for it everywhere.
OK, then. How about just ONE piece of credible evidence, please.

LOL... Really? Where's the line? Can we dismiss 202 accounts? 500? 1500? What's so special about thousands of stories? It seems to me like you fail to account for the number of people there are on Earth. Among billions, you will EASILY find thousands, upon thousands of liars and nutjobs, not to mention people who are simply mistaken.

Yeah, you keep saying that. Can I please ask you for just ONE compelling example of this evidence?
