I always wonder this , why is it that we have the best cameras, TV crews and other photograhic hardware but we never get a really great picture of these so called IFO's?
Well I don't know about you, but I don't go walking everywhere with a camera in my pocket. And even if I did, I own a digital one which has an annoying time delay. If I chose to take a video of it, it wouldn't be able to even see the thing.
And then for those that DO own professional equipment, they first have to first pass these situations:
- Work.
- Sleep.
- Taking advantage of their free time (ie: having fun).
- Doing miscellaneous things such as errands.
- Having the equipment on them in the first place.
- Not being preoccupied with something else while having the equipment on them.
- Finding a UFO in the first place which has the odds of winning a lottery.
Now I don't know about you, but that's a lot of stuff to go through which *severely* limits the chance of capturing a UFO with high quality equipment. And then there's a few things we have to deal with even *if* a person *does* capture a UFO with high quality equipment:
- Knows how to use the equipment well.
- The environment isn’t obstructing their view (bad weather, trees, etc)
- Even if there’s a clear day, is the UFO at a nice view angle to show the whole craft.
- Is there an object in view to scale the object
And the biggest obstacle? Even if the picture/video I perfect, people still most likely will claim the picture/video is a fraud. Sorry, but in the age of Photoshop and other editing tools, nobody will ever have complete faith in something. Video and pictures can easily be doctured. I mean heck, if people can fake the moon landing (not saying it was, but it can be), a Sadam Hussein or Osama bin Laden video (not saying they were, but they can be), and show propoganda pieces such as making it seem like hundreds of jubilant Iraqi’s were tearing down the statue of Sadam when it was a completely staged press event that involved not many Iraqi’s, what can you expect? Nobody will believe something as astounding and earth-shattering as a UFO unless they see it with their own eyes.
Skepticism is a good thing, but everything in life can be completely untrue unless you do absolutely every single bit of the research yourself. We don’t know much, we can only take other’s words for it. I can ask someone to prove me darned near anything and most likely the only thing they’ll be able to do is point me to someone else’s references, heh. Sorry, but that’s not proof. Prove me everything right in front of me. See how ridiculous skepticism can get? Where does one draw the line on the degree of skepticism when any aspect that involves another person can be corruptable?
