You know Spadge, why I have a problem with most UFO reports now-a-days is because of all the hoaxs, regretfully it dampens their credibility by association.
The reports that I find so compelling are ones from official sources. Not that the Mexico sightings haven't come from official sources, I just haven't really investigated those sighting seriously.
The reports that surprise me and I consider more seriously than others are video clips from the space shuttle. I'm sure many of you guys saw on "Sightings" and "Encounters" those video clips I'm talking about. For one thing, I'm interested on how they even got released. Another, is the explanation. I know that one of the explanations for one of the clips was "ice particles", but I haven't heard an "official" explanation for the others.
Other compelling evidence for me has been Astronauts coming forth and announcing that "yes" they have seen UFO's in space and at other times. As well as, our former President, Jimmy Carter, stating that he has seen UFO's.
How do you explain this type of evidence? Are these people all delusional and in deep need of psychiatric care? Aren't these the type of reports we are to consider solid evidence?
I'm a skeptic at heart and I don't sway easily, but this type of evidence leads me to believe that "yes" there are UFO's or alien space crafts visiting earth. And if someone doesn't give me a good, solid, rational explanation for these reports, I'm afraid that I will have to resolve myself to retaining this belief.
