I routinely re-watch the scene from Close Encounters where Roy sets zapped in his utility truck at the train crossing. Best scene in the film IMHO.
Why oh why can't that happen to me?

That wacky Brian made a whole dang movie about UAPs. He likes to draw in true believers with his titles.

Jake, in the world of music theory, you, Tyler Bartram and Adam Neely are the shizzle.
In the world of UAPs, it's Mick West and Brian Dunning.
I'm guessing that you, with your analytical skills, might enjoy the world of scientific skepticism.
Take it away, Mick!

And get the eggheads triumphed in the end, didn’t they? By providing definitive, evidence based explanations for all these things rather than the easy scary story and arched eyebrows, and what are they hiding from us and so forth.

I guess I might be piling on a little bit by pointing out that the fiery rocks were explained by the storytellers of the day as all kinds of things right? Angry gods, fairies, you name it. Today it’s giant spaceships.

That’s right. The exact nature of this fiery rocks was eventually proven by scientific method.
I do take your point about the supernatural though. Once it’s verified, it becomes natural.

Yeah, and all of those legit observations that were marked and called crazy were proven by guess what? Scientific method. Yay science!

It is indeed worthy of scientific inquiry. That inquiry is known as the Fermi paradox.
It asks, why is there no proof of any of this? Given scale of the universe of habitable planets, where is everybody?

You know what would end that?
Any sort of unambiguous evidence of some supernatural phenomena.
It just never happens.

I’ll just make a point again that I, and I’m sure other skeptics, with thoroughly well to see some kind of unambiguous indication of supernatural phenomenon. I’m sure I would literally jump for joy.
It just never happens. All we get is this weak sauce of half seen half baked nothingness.

That would be fine if we did in fact, lack conventional explanations. We don’t.
This like most of all the other UAP observations is fully explainable by everyday phenomena, and it has been explained.

The principals might be wearing suits or uniforms or sitting in marbled halls of government with wood paneling and so forth.
But the storytelling never rises above unverifiable anecdotes that amount to basically “someone seen something!”

I don’t think there’s anyone who would love to interact with an alien being or a ghost or a reptoid more than those of us who subscribe to the world of logical fallacies and skepticism.

I don’t mean to have an answer for everything here and I’m sorry if I’m coming off like I know it all.
It’s 2025. We millions and millions of cameras, radars telescopes, satellites and sensing devices.
What do we have that unambiguously indicates the existence of extraterrestrial craft?
Zero.

Right that’s one of the basic problems with this giant spaceship. We can either reproduce the result nor falsify it. In other words there’s no way to prove this wasn’t a giant spaceship.
So what we have is uncontrolled observations with no control group no reproduceability and no falsifiability.
