Is there any real hard evidence for UFO's as alien?

[Mark]

What do you think is the most compelling evidence that UFO's are alien in origin? As a thorough skeptic I highly doubt that any alien craft have ever made it to our planet. I see lots of possibilities that ET is out there, but the chance that ET can reach us or has reached us across the vastness of space seems remote.

So can someone point me to the best evidence yet?

Well that's really the holy grail isn't it. What would it take to unequivocally convince the global village that UFOs are ET in origin? In the age where videos and photos can no longer count as evidence all we really have is heaps and heaps of compelling anecdotal evidence, and eye witness testimony. All circumstantial evidence though when it comes down to it. We've got pages of unclassified government documents, gov't whistle blower testimonies, and astronaut testimonies. All of which in fairly certain terms corroborates the idea of UFOs being ET. Then you can add in to the mix ancient historical records, scrolls, paintings which depict astronauts and our creators descending to our earth in balls of light, great silver discs, clouds etc... All pieces of the puzzle. Especially when you start factoring in many of the great global mysteries like the pyramids, nazca lines, etc...

I agree given *our* current understanding of physics and space travel, it's highly unlikely for ET to be visiting us. Although if they exist, they could also be a lot closer than we think. As well it's possible that more advanced races could have evolved into a whole new level of quantum physics whereby they have more control over the 'space time continuum'.

Until ETs are landing in all our backyards for us to see, I think the ET/UFO matter becomes a matter of faith. All you can do is assemble all the data and decide what fits best.

As a staunch skeptic I would have to disagree with you.

Classified documents do not indicate Et origins, simply that a document is classified. As for taking things on faith, I gave up that pass-time a couple of decades ago.

A mountain of flimsy evidence does not equal one solid undeniable documented case.

Give me cold hard evidence every time!

Give me cold hard evidence every time!

Ahh but that's where you choose your faith. "cold hard scientific evidence". Your faith is riding on assumptions that the scientific method is infallible. But that is another conversation.

So tell me, why does a de-classified government document saying that there are extra terrestrials visiting earth not count as evidence?
