Tomorrow's news: it's all a mistake

I think she misunderstood the intent of the question you posed.
Proving that ufos were not aliens or other beings from another dimension does not mean such beings don't exist...only that we haven't met them yet.

Could be the ufos that we see are technology too....doesn't necessarily mean they are manned by beings. Could be just a rover type technology. Could also be man made objects. Several possibilities exist.

I wish I were someone that had sixteen hours a day to do nothing,I dont. Btw,methinks that the world in general would be a tad shocked to find out ufos exist.Not so much that were being visited by others but that the government has finally admitted it.

Just imagine if all the time spent on forums was actually put to good constructive use to benefit mankind, further technology and totally ignore trivial things like conspiracy theories, ufo's, big foot etc.

Then get your butt to work on something...constructive.

Would you accept it? refuse to believe it? ask Stan Friedman for your money back?

I'd immediately accept it, with some relief. It would about as good news as native America's tribes discovering Columbus and the Europeans would NOT be arriving at their shores. Worth a nice party, actually, Skeptic!

There is no lack of mystery, challenges and threats on our planet. Sometimes paying our family's monthly bills feels like launching a space vehicle into orbit...

[Miss Deetective]

Taking Skeps question as posed....I would have to say that I would accept it. Proof is proof....but I would still be interested in the .....possibilites of what the future might hold. They could still be out there yanno!!!

That's the way I see it. And there are no infinities either, except in math.

I think that science has found intelligent life right here on planet Earth. And unless you believe that we are special creatures made by God to rule the universe, it would make sense to assume that we are not alone in the universe.

Additionally, due to vast time differences for planetary evolution in different systems of stars, it would be reasonable to expect some planets to contain creatures vastly superior to us -- at least technologically. I have a sneaking suspicion that one of the chief obstacles for skeptics to face that realistic scenario is that their arrogance would have to give way in recognizing the probable circumstance that humans are not the top intelligent species of life beyond planet Earth (if even there).
