Defending skepticism seems reasonable. There's been no hard evidence brought forward. Biting on what has been presented to this point would be premature, and require a little some going out on a limb. So that's fine. I lean towards skepticism still, but there's a lot of smoke of late so I'm interested in seeing where this all leads. When stories from purportedly qualified/connected sources begin to overlap, it seems worth looking into further.
However, I think there's a segment of people who could be presented with literal extraterrestrials and they would still deny it/refuse to acknowledge the validity of it, and it could arguably be said that these hardline skeptics suffer from similar delusion as the UFO fanatics, just with the opposite perspective. And they could stand to recieve a little more flak for living in a bubble where they cling to familiarity and limitation and refuse to acknowledge the greater possibilities that exist to preserve their sense of safety and control.

People who deny science and reality are mocked all the time. In what world do you think you’re bringing something new to the table by suggesting that people who would deny the existence of something, despite being presented with physical, visible evidence of its existence, should be mocked? Stand to receive a little more flak? They receive all the flak lol.
I’ve shared my opinion plenty of times. You’re free to go back and read as much as you like. I’m not sure what you gain by calling me a coward and suggesting I should “fight honourably” when we’re discussing a scientific topic. Maybe stop being a weirdo about it and have a normal conversation?
I’m literally open to any possibility. I’ve gone on about which I think are more likely than others, but the one constant is that I’m not prepared to accept any definitive answer without actual evidence. You want to believe whatever, have fun, nobody cares.
