The Jesus Freaks Will Hate This

A much better one would be: we're rational people and you're just going "aliens!!" at everything you can't explain.

Yet you miss the point of the video.

I wasn't claiming aliens existed, I was providing evidence that the unexplained Does exist.
Big difference.
You guys were the ones trying to explain what you saw, even though you had no clue what is was.
That is irrational.

You don't get how science works, do you? First, you create a hypothesis (e.g., it's really a balloon), then you test it. Unfortunately, since the guy died and I couldn't afford a trip to Vegas anyway, I can't test it. But, offering up reasonable hypotheses is the first step to making the unexplained explained. If the reasonable hypotheses are proven false, then you can go into more fanciful directions.

An actual interesting example that's happening now - the Dawn probe has seen two unknown, unexpected shiny dots on the surface of Ceres. Astronomers aren't sure what it is. What they're not doing is jumping to conclusions that it's something new or alien. When the probe gets into the right position, they'll run through and check against the usual suspects (namely ice). ONLY IF they exhaust the catalog of likely explanations which we've gathered through our ~50 or so years of space exploration will they then start looking in other directions.

In a larger sense, we as a species may never learn everything about the universe. I'm okay with that. But unexplained things aren't evidence of a deity or anything else. They're merely unexplained. Us not knowing the explanation of it doesn't mean there isn't an explanation, and it doesn't logically follow that the explanation must be divine.
