What I find sad is some people are so DESPERATE for validation about the presence of ET here, is they will grasp at anything and hold onto it almost in a fanatic zeal, and any arguments to give a rational or conventional explanation are met with major hostility and denial that there can be an erthly reason.
It really ruins it for the rest of us who really want the truth and will filter out all other rational explanations.
Yea but what if your explanations are not rational? At that point you are just grasping at straws.

I've always found it fascinating how no credible news source can report on anything UFO related without doing it in a tongue in cheek manner without a smirks and open distain.

Took the many words right out of my mouth. I sometimes wonder if a poster is even talking to the right person because the replies are waay off what the original poster says.
It's like they make up their own version of your post and then reply to that!

Here is a Tip for Identifying a Dis info Agent or a Troll
1) Look at Their History of Posts and Reply's in Their Profile
2) Look at their Entry Date , Their Count Post, No Avatar
3) Sticking Only to One Forum or Subject.
4) and Derailing Evey ATS Member to get them to seek Links or Legit Proof that they easily can do themselves
5) a Immediate quick Reply.. on just about Anything .. like they were a Group of Agents

1) Many are on the fence when it comes to the subject matter and play devils advocate. Hardly a smoking gun.
2) Judging someone based on their length of time here or their post count eliminates any new members as being legit.
3) Again, not everyone cares about the other forum topics, like prepping or political bickering and choose to post in the forum that interests them.
4) Lol, since when is requesting sources for one's claims evidence of being a disinfo agent? That's just silly.
5) When I post I treat it as a discussion and try to respond in a timely manner to keep the discussion going. I'm sure many others do the same. It doesn't mean we're a team of govt disinfo trolls.
It's been my experience that those who are desperately looking for boogymen will find them. Regardless of if they actually exist or not.

Its obvious to me that the propaganda campaign to suppress any sincere discussion of this subject is very active on the internet. I was just somewhat surprised to see it so blatantly at work here on ATS...and so accepted.

I tend to agree with you on this point as for most of my life there has always been a "smirk" factor to many UFO stories presented in the national media. Local TV & radio were always a bit more open minded with their stories.
Not always the case though . Here in the UK the "Strange But True" ITV series presented a reasonably open minded investigation of the Rendlesham case some 20 years ago. Although it's a very distant childhood memory I seem to remember the New Zealand UFO case in 1978 being treated very seriously by the national news. However it always seemed like the last word was given to the sceptics (or de-bunkers call them what you want).

Roswell sounded good to me at one time. It seemed to possibly hold answers, but on closer inspection it falls easily apart, imo.

I only had a cursory knowledge of Roswell prior to your comment. I decided to search ATS for various opinions. I found Gazrok's thread which seems to cover a lot of the information. I was disappointed to see that there was very little discussion of his material.
Could you elaborate on your position?
I also posted in Gazrok's conclusion thread if you care to post there.

Thanks!

Yes and I'm glad you asked. I'll pm you some stuff when I'm off this tablet. Pflock did some great work at clarifying Roswell.
