lets call the game 'sceptics (''= 'pseudo') and the believers/gullibles, ok
IS there an Xcluded middle?
Believers = gullibles? hmm... ok, what you're saying is, someone is stupid to believe what they've seen with their own two eyes? even if without a reasonable doubt it appears to be something completely odd and out of this world? Offcourse, if it is indeed human technology, yes, they are gullibles. But i'd rather be a believer then to deny incredibly bright, unearthly objects, appearing next to me. I'd rather be called gullibe then having the nerve to call it an optical illusion/hallucination/bullshit.
Ok, i'll get into more detail with my dad's experiences. He claims he saw(a few times, in different occasions) a bright white object, about the same size as a star doing impressive manuvours. He claims they moved in a zigzaging style across vast amounts of skies, appearing to teleport from one point to the other. Now, considering my dad was a hardcore sceptic, he wouldn’t be caught dead agreeing to any such phenomenon. He’s my dad, and just like any other person who has loyal, educated, normal parents, you would not expect them to lie about such things, nor do they have a reason to. He doesn’t go to the pub and tell his friends about how he sees alien ships, or obsess about it, to my knowledge, he only told a hand full of people.
His own words: “I know there is a possibility that it could be man-made, but technology like this has never been seen before, or at least by ‘normal people’(suggesting people who don’t work for organisations manufacturing these technologies, if there is)”
This suggests he’s not insane/gullible.
