It's great to believe- why not...
I did for many years until I started to look at it without the fantasy glasses on. I had to take mine off for a while to see what I was really looking at regarding the so called evidence. It seamed to be the logical thing to do due to the frustration of the lack of REAL proof/ evidence after (in my case) 40+ years of faith, hope & fantasy! Now they are off all the time. But I haven't thrown them away YET
For all the years us homosapiens have existed on this planet; not one piece of evidence has ever been submitted that would make a- <now skeptical> like my good self think again about ufos/ aliens & the supernatural in general. You know: <REAL EVIDENCE> -- not a story told by someone we should believe (via some form of lucrative media) because of who they are/ their position in life etc!> believe what you're told or don't kinda thing.
I'm here to find the truth/ real evidence of the supernatural in all it's diverse shapes & forms. Why are you here? Due to my opinions & approach; this is a question that's been asked of me many times over the years.
<the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence> is a phrase well used in discussions regarding ufos/ aliens & the supernatural. If you're here to try & find the truth via debate regarding ufos, as am I, then isn't it about time to re-evaluate this well used phrase? What needs to happen or not happen or how long will it take, 10/100 years before the well used phrase will be: <the absence of evidence can only mean evidence of absence>?
By all means keep the fantasy glasses on when reading through this thread. But out of respect for different opinions & approaches at least take one lens out for some kinda balance. See how it goes
Peace.

This is my first post and I am trying to stay busy as I am one of the few that didn't get hurt <much> by Hurricane Harvey (I'm in Houston). I'm not sure where I'm supposed to post, i.e., before the QUOTE or after. I hope I'm in the right place. Now....I was thinking....
We might want to think about "lack of evidence" like this: If they can come from light years away, and this was many hundreds of years ago, don't you think they might have the technology to somewhat "cloak" themselves so we don't see them? And as far as the downed UFOs, well, we've seen our fair share of those. There are probably many more, we just don't hear about them unless they crash in our front yards. And I'm sure many were sworn to secrecy. I don't use the word "were" lightly because the government is now letting it all out. Ancient Aliens, for one, isn't pulling any punches anymore.
