Wrong,
It's not as black & white as you want it to be.
This is why Detectives still use polygraphs in investigations. They can be beat but not by everyone. So it isn't as black or white as you make it out to be.
One of the first things police ask a potential suspect is would they volunteer to take a polygraph.
So it's not useless and it can be helpful in some cases.
Why should I accept your opinion over the person(s) who actually had the experience?
Yes, it does mean it happened unless you can show some evidence that they are lying or making it up.
If you start with the assumption the these things can't or don't exist then no matter what they say you will not accept it. I have come to the conclusion that extraterrestrials are a reasonable explanation for these things so I don't think that everyone who has had these experiences is lying, hallucinating or making things up.
I listen to the evidence and if the conclusion is reached that the experience is real to them then I have no reason to doubt them and believe the biased opinion of a skeptic.

Nablator:I see you are going with pure facts and that is acceptable
The Hill star map is extremely accurate compared to what Fish drew,and to what is known now.You must remember when Mrs.Hill drew the map she was recalling it from memory of a traumatic event so it is reasonable to assume that she could make the very small mistakes she did.

You say people create fiction to entertain themselves,what do you do?You don't even listen to any evidence or accounts put forth by people researching the topic(me,and others on this sight) or the kind and generous members that are willing to share their extraordinary experiences.
Is every abduction or UFO account true?Absolutely not,but because that fact should we discredit every account we read,hear,or see?Absolutely not.
The point is not to believe blindly,but keep an open mind and take everything with a 'grain of salt'.The human mind is pretty good at searching out bs from truth.Just go with it and stop refusing to be open minded,even when you claim you are.
I feel some members are on this site just to argue their belief that aliens/UFOs don't exist,that's called pseudoskepticism.

I haven't heard of that,but I will have a look at it.
Also,the map was apparently a 'trade route' of some kind too,wouldn't that leave a possibility that only stars with life would be on there?
