Literally every single UFO thread is exactly the same. Just like this one. Other then witness testimonies and low quality youtube videos showing some glowing dots in the sky, there is no evidence of aliens flying UFO's over earth.
You cannot make a case simply out of witness testimony and laughable youtube videos.
UFOlogy is a religion, don't try to pass it off as anything more or less. There will never be any evidence that proves UFO are on Earth.
It's funny as well, because most of these UFO'ers are atheists. Which is not only ironic but sad.
Anyway, UFOology, big foot, all these things that haven't been proven or have any real evidence to speak of, are a tool of distraction. That's why "ancient aliens" is on the history channel. It's all about controlling reality and making it into a grand illusion.
This belief in UFOs is starting to turn into a mental illness.

I think most of hte cases you referenced have been systematically explained in painful detail. The ufo market is always producing more cases because that's their job, tha'ts how they make money. Everytime a case is explained, another one is produced. You know the arcade game where everytime you smash one, another pops up? The more I think about ufology, the more I think it's just delusional people wanting to believe in ET's and there's no way to disprove it because another case will always be produced.
Too tired to say anything more. Same ol' slop.
Okay, debunk the official CIA file and all of the astronaut recordings then. Saying something is debunked because there's a logical explanation for it is easy. The thing is, if just one of those files is telling the truth then aliens do exist. We don't need them all to be accurate!

No, only one was low on fuel. None of them including the pilot that crashed had oxygen iirc. It was too dangerous to climb because there is no oxygen, so none of them did, except him, because he was unfamiliar with the P-51 Mustang. Witnesses described watching his plane crash which 100% match a pilot running out of oxygen. Two other pilots saw the "object", and said it was very small, hard to see, and did not appear to be anything special.
Again, here is the thread with the full info about the Mantell case, with links and PROOF of each incident. This is the third time I've given you the link so hopefully you bother to read it this time before making moronic statements like "It's a balloon". Unlike you, that thread has documentation to back up its claims.

The two other pilots (other than Mantell) reported making visual contact with the object but said it was so small and far away they couldn’t identify it
Mantell however, continued climbing to 30,000 feet. Anyone who knows anything about air flight and the atmosphere will tell you that without an oxygen mask or pressurized cabin (which wasn’t available at the time) you will black out from Hypoxia because the oxygen concentration levels are less at higher altitudes.

Even if it was wrong, so what? I posted a few of the best ones, in my opinion. If some are inaccurate so what?

Just because qualitative information cannot be quantified to fit an existing paradigm does not mean ETs haven't visited Earth.
What kind of evidence would be required to prove it true or false?
I can't explain every conceivable evidence which would be proof to my satisfaction, but let's say I'd find this a whole lot more convincing than a tiny light in the night sky coupled with some false radar returns:

Which has nothing to do with anyone's argument. The argument is this is not evidence of ET visitation. The argument is that there is no "qualitative information" in favor of ET visitation, yet those like the OP label them having been here as fact.
Not in my experience, for example the guy who filmed the UFO in Salida Co thought it was other-worldly but to me there's a zero percent chance it's an alien spaceship, I wouldn't even give it the .0000000001% chance in that case. I find people's perceptions to be extremely unreliable, and I fail the optical illusion tests as readily as anyone else because our brains are all easily tricked.

I think the person experiencing an encounter would be better positioned to decide whether it was alien or not.
It's hard for us to predict what future technologies will bring, but science fiction has done it before with the prediction of various things that have come to pass from submarines to airplanes to rocketships. What our current sci-fi predicts is that to travel the distances between stars, the ship will probably have to be immense. So while I admit that could possibly be a flawed expectation if applied to technology a million years more advanced, it's absolutely valid if applied to technology in the next few centuries as far as we can tell.
BTW it would be more reassuring if the encounter was like the picture in your aforementioned post. Unfortunately, I don't envisage an encounter like that in the near future.
I think the person experiencing an encounter would be better positioned to decide whether it was alien or not.
Can you share with me the equation you are using?
