Try answering in short sentences and in no more than one or two paragraphs. Also, for bonus credit, explain why stories of witches, or homeopathic medicine's efficacy, or religious miracles shouldn't be taken at face value as well - surely the same evidentiary rules you champion should apply to all phenomena?

I think if you approach these questions with the perspective that there is so much we simply cannot understand but should never stop trying, it's better than the approach you seem to take.
I thought this thread was about UFO's anyways, not ghosts or leprechauns or unicorns. Let's keep our eyes on the ball here, I think its an important discussion, it shouldn't be derailed.
