Why some people dont believe in UFOs

I guess the list could go on and on but, here are just some of mine.
1. Why dont people call the police when they spot the ufo? Just like in recent threads about some type of ufo flying close to the ground. Wouldnt you be scared enough to call the police?

2.How come people have a camera every where they go? I could understand if it is your job and all but no everyone is going to carry one around. So how do people have one everytime they see an ufo?

3.How come people just can look up at the sky and see these things and also have a camera with them at the sametime?

I've believed these theorys about UFOs probably all my life. So if someone wants to prove me wrong on anything please go ahead. I am trying to learn about UFOs myself and get to the fact if they are there or not.

How can someone "not believe in" an Unidentified Flying Object? I could throw a rock up in the sky and someone might see it and not know what it was. It was still some object, it just wasn't identifiable, so how could you "not believe in" that?

You couldn't be more wrong. From Wikipedia:

An unidentified flying object, or UFO, is any real or apparent flying object which cannot be identified by the observer and which remains unidentified after investigation. In popular culture, UFO is often used to refer to any hypothetical alien spacecraft.

I am just here to learn like everyone else. Thanks though for being nice about it.

i agree with diplomat. just because its an UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT does not make it extraterrestrial. the question should be " why people don't believe in exterrestrials" or something to that effect.

trust me, my friend. they are real.
i dont know who flies them, but they are real, they are machines, that can fly.
search the sky, search it as often as you can, and then one time, you will see something crazy.

best regards.

Your reasons two and three are essentially the same, which I don't quite understand. The fact is, more and more people ARE carrying around cameras--in the form of cell phones. They may not be very good, but they are still a medium on which to capture something interesting. We have had several interesting UFOs captured on cell phone cameras recently, including some obviously fake ones. I don't know whether it is a matter of "belief" or not, but the probablility of being able to capture something unidentified has increased rather dramatically in the last few years.

I suspect your real question is somewhat different. Even Diplomat has no problem agreeing that some flying objects are unidentified, thus they are technically UFOs. The problem shows up when people start trying to identify exactly what they are, where they are from, or who is flying them (if anyone.) Once someone starts making claims like that the whole game changes to one of providing some proof that such claims have any validity whatsoever. This is exacerbated somewhat by the large percentage of proven fake UFOs which some people, for a variety of reasons, have decided they will inflict upon us. Unfortunately, because the UFO field has no standards of proof, it attracts people who have no standards of truth.

The fact is, photography as an element of proof has declined because it is so easy to fake shots, even in video. Seeing a picture of something is no longer as valid a proof of something as it once was. If it's digital, you can do anything. Many people, having been exposed to these hoaxes, have decided not to believe in UFOs because they have been subject to trickery so many times. Many other people feel that the laws of physics, including the ability to exceed th speed of light, preclude the possibility of UFOs from other star systems. I can't see as I blame any of these people who probably feel they have better things to do. There are many reasons why people do not believe in UFOs, including some pretty good ones.

Here's one idea. One or two witnesses report 'psychological' effects of the encounter, even a CEI, close up view of a craft. As we know low sounds can sometimes cause panic in susceptible persons. Ultra-low frequency.

But a 'Special Psy-Ops Team' might try and create some illusion of an ET craft and then at the same time beam the subject with the ULF. If they wanted to play on people's fears and solve a situation that was not solvable by ordinary means. But this illustrates that there might be motive in 'faking' a UFO by the G-mint. If we can duplicate something that might seem very alien if experience, in this example, then there has to be a fairly strong possibility that it is an earth craft. The AF admits to something like this or the CIA, saying they used 'UFO sightings' as a cover-story for advanced craft deliberately.

(At some point one nation was planning to use large holographic 'alien' or historical objects or images as a battlefield terror op.)

Well, we have cellphone cameras now and they're getting better.

I've believed these theorys about UFOs probably all my life. So if someone wants to prove me wrong on anything please go ahead. I am trying to learn about UFOs myself and get to the fact if they are there or not.

On a practical note wouldn't it be kind of expensive to fund a remote Op where they had to deploy all these craft and fly around and stuff?

I think any actual Alien contact from outside our Solar System will be nano technology. It's far more inexpensive.

A couple other things that are a bit 'out there'. Why would advanced craft fly around with their lights on?

As far as studying 'flying craft', I think "daylight disks" and lights in the night sky are basically useless to furthering study.

Now I think a careful sighting where you show something like a USO, or a craft that can come out of the water and fly away (not a missile, but a controlled craft) is VERY interesting and I might be willing to stipulate that this has a high likelihood of being 'not from this earth'.

personally I'm in the middle, i believe they are real, but the non aggressors are hesitant to show themselves, which is totally understandable being a planet of nations that cant cooperate, we don't take well to diversity in our own race, who knows how the world would react to a totally new species of intelligent being.
i dunno, just my theory

1. Why dont people call the police when they spot the ufo? Just like in recent threads about some type of ufo flying close to the ground. Wouldnt you be scared enough to call the police?

I've seen a UAP and it was quite "scary". The last thing I wanted to do was call the Police or the Air Force!

2.How come people have a camera every where they go? I could understand if it is your job and all but no everyone is going to carry one around. So how do people have one everytime they see an ufo?

The fact is most people don't have camera's. To prove this, it is true that Venus gets misreported as a UFO every time Venus is bright in the sky and yet we almost never see "Digital Pics" of Venus.

3.How come people just can look up at the sky and see these things and also have a camera with them at the sametime?

Again this is just a misconception. Even people with Cell Phone Cameras, if you'll notice, almost never use them to take pictures of the sky in any manner.
