Absolutely I would trust a true skeptic in my home. As I said in another thread, I rely upon skeptics to weed out the wheat from the chaff. See, if there were no skeptics -- people who require measurable evidence -- then we would all accept every single claim and video as factual. Skeptics are your friend, they make us better, they make our evidenciary process better.
I think this is an important bit of evidence Elijah.... I can't imagine a situation wherein a whole group of people would put themselves out there for the world to ridicule, just for that 15 minutes of fame (Andy, where's mine? I never got it...... NEVERmind) *
Elijah, I can tell you are passionate about this topic, as am I. I am not a debunker or skeptic or believer. Those are labels that tend to cubbyhole people into positions that don't completely resonate with their beliefs. I thiink you do yourself and UFOlogy a disservice when you start your thread with a challenge, and then label people who you presume will make that challenge. It's a polarizing statement, and we don't need to draw people apart, we need to draw them together.
Consider the scientific process. If a true scientist encounters a result from an experiment that is contrary to their hypothesis, they have no choice but to consider it, and value it as knowledge gained. If the scientist reaches a conclusion FIRST, and then attempts to create an experiment to validate it, then that is an obstruction of the scientific process. A true skeptic is like that. Noble, and wanting to test a system and see if there are PROBABLE alternative theories.
I have a feeling you're tired of the folks that stream onto any thread like this and scream "FAKE!!" and...... well, I am as well, because that statement requires no investigation nor does it include any evidence to the contrary. When somebody is able to produce evidence that leaves everyone -- including the skeptic -- to say "I don't know what it is," then that is good evidence.
We may never have absolute proof, and I don't believe that absolute proof -- proof that is universally undeniable -- exists. It's something we have to decide for ourselves, after measuring the evidence. After 30+ years of measuring evidence, and personal experience that predates THAT, I believe that there are EBEs, or "others" that are nonhuman. I can't know where or when they are from, but I believe. However, please never call me a believer. I still sift information and my sense of a believer is one who does not.
Good thread though, and it was interesting to read.
Consider in the future just putting information out there for debate, without the challege. That might well produce a more measured group of people to come in and really look at your evidence.
all best

Even the believers don't believe this! What a joke! This is a case with numerous eye witnesses including children, who drew their pictures, and police officers. The only thing is whether or not the government staged it. Thats a good theory, but you'd have to prove that one. So, the immediate answer when faced with an obvious case like this is, they're all lying or the government staged it!
First of all, connect some dots, put it in its place amongst much collaborating and relative evidence world wide, then look again. This is an incredible account.
