Maybe expand on what your views are on the subject rather than just quoting people and throwing out insults. I can't know what your exact views are on the topic if you insist on hiding those views rather than expressing your own opinion. What do you think this UAP and USO phenomena is that has been in the news over the past few years? Any idea? Is it all seagulls? Please give your position on this so I don't make the mistake of misrepresenting your views in the future.
I don't think you can understand my view, because I hold a nuanced view, not eyes wide open, eyes fully closed, or eyes wide shut. Nearly 30 years ago, I was much like you (without the insufferable twat part). Buying into every nutty UFO theory and falling for every nut claiming to have some inside information. This shit rears it's head every decade or so and the results are always the same. I've learned to take the claims with a huge grain of salt as one after another, every claim, every conspiracy, every insider, turns out to be empty. Are there unexplained phenomena occurring in our skies? Certainly. Of course, they've been occurring since our primitive ancestors first turned their eyes to the sky and saw shit they couldn't explain. Unexplained does not mean inexplicable and every fucking time we've found an explanation, it's been mundane. That video you're so hot about is a cherry picked collection of Obama quotes and a metric fuck ton of speculation. You fell for it. You're not alone.
Would I be thrilled if ETI were actually confirmed? Yes. Am I done falling for every blurry photo and shaky, out of focus video? Also yes.
Unlike you, I don't pretend to understand what these unexplained phenomena are, nor do I speculate on them. It's fucking pointless Learn some actual skepticism and quit leaving your mind so wide open your brain falls out. It'll do you, and all those around you, a world of good.
