Why is this board full of non-believers?

As per the thread title, what the hell?

If you are close minded or don't realise aliens exist, why are you posting on a forum titled Aliens & UFOs?

I have come to the conclusion that these board members are:

1. aliens that don't want to be found out

or

2. Government people trying to discredit any UFO related stuff that comes up

Hey dude what's it'
This thread spells Belief equals religion/ Blind faith


I imagion not many of us have first hand experience of these anomalies, so it would be argent to pass judgment either way based on personal 'beliefs'

Now is a time for questions not acceptance of a desired explanation.

Wow. I thought this place was crawling with people eager to believe whatever wild story reinforced their existing beliefs, real or not.

Well, actually it is, but there are a lot more sensible people who like to think critically about these things. It is really refreshing to find so many people here who seem to actually enjoy thinking for themselves. It makes it a lot easier to put up with the nuts, too. Most of the trolls, junk science, fake videos and unsubstantiated rumors are dealt with quickly and with more good manners than they deserve.

As far as aliens or UFOs go, it is not a matter of belief. Either they are real and they are here, or they are not. I know for sure they are, but I can't prove it any more than I care whether anyone else agrees or believes me. Find your own truth. That's what this place is about.

UFOs and alien presence is two different things. I believe in UFOs but still doubt they are alien craft, actually I think most of them are military-black project controlled by human. My take on this is that they want you to think they are alien as it's the best cover-up and could use UFOs to fake an alien invasion. If the NWO is achieved with the promise of a better world with no war etc, everyone will want their freedom back. The alien invasion card could be used to keep us into submission. Same thing if alien do actually exist and want to show up to help us, the elite could still use UFOs to dupe us with a fake treath. Actually from what I know Wernher von Braun once talked of this scenario in an a conversation he had with some woman, can't recall her name, I think she was from NASA too.

Anyway just my 2 cents!
Sorry for my bad spelling, english is not my first language.

Most people here on ATS aren't non-believers. It's just that we don't believe everything we see, hear , or read without considering its credibility.

Should we believe a claim that a picture of a triangular shaped rock is evidence of life on Mars? Or a disc shaped cloud is evidence of alien visitation?

I am skeptical because some times, something’s just don’t fit right. While I have seen things that I cannot explain, I don’t believe for a second that every light in the sky is an alien space craft. Nor do I believe someone who tells me they have been in intimate contact with Greebzal from Planet Tremulack for over twenty years, and routinely fly the mother ship through out the known galaxy, when they can’t manage to navigate the inside of the local Wal-Mart store.

I have personally witnessed people becoming panic stricken while observing a well publicized satellite reentry. People running wild with speculation as to the end of the world when again, a well publicized series of sonic booms hit the area when the space shuttle makes reentry along with a full escort of jets at Mach2 (admittedly this one makes all the fish jump out of the water with each boom). I have seen a bubble of swamp gas causing a distorting refraction of light from a star or perhaps Venus that was damn eerie and truly creepy. I have seen people mistake a flock of geese as a space craft, bats as aliens and storks as Angels. I have seen the Marfa lights, etc.

I have listen to the stories of cattle mutilation that could of only come from alien technology, while secretly knowing that it was the nearby medical students learning about a new procedure called Endoscopic surgery.

I remember hearing the story of an alien ship that had hovered by a farmhouse, it shot out a wide green energy beam to the ground and in that beam it shot out a thin red laser that zigzagged to the ground, attempting to capture some livestock. When I went to investigate, I found that Ted and Mary Miller on Route 12, had just set out their new Christmas decorations and lights (Christmas tree over the Nativity Scene, duh).

I have been fishing at Canyon Lake, Texas, a place where many people had reported UFOs around this time, when I heard the sounds of rushing wind and when I looked up, I saw three Stealth Fighters in formation flying at low altitude before the existence of these craft were officially acknowledged.

I have seen what I can only describe as blimp, illuminated from the inside with a soft blue light at one end. It teetered, gently bobbing up and down as if were a balloon seesaw toy while the shadows of men inside scurried around in a frantic manner. I could hear them shouting back and forth at each other and then suddenly the thing disappeared. Not behind some trees, not up into the sky and it didn’t crash, it just faded out from visibility and wasn’t there any more. To make this one even stranger, for the next three days, thousands of deer, I mean thousands of deer, collected and remained in that exact spot. People would, could and did walk up to these deer and they didn’t run away, they just strayed about, chewing on the grass. Must have been some really tasty grass.

These things make me a skeptical believer. I’ll listen to the story, but my mind will race and try to discern if there is a terrestrial explanation before I just except an extra-terrestrial explanation.

Yeah right, people are paid to come here and post. Really really makes sense. No one cares about your GFL posts enough to actually pay someone to trash them. I think we have plenty of volunteers willing to do that absolutely free of charge.
