Well that's the sort of cop out I would expect from a debunker like Sagan.

You obviously don't know Sagan very well. He's one of the best friends UFOlogy ever had in legitimate science. Does the name SETI mean anything to you? The Drake equation?
If you consider him a debunker, maybe it's time to lower the bar on what you consider bunk.

SETI and those tossers like Seth Shostak are half the problem. They sit there pointing radio telescopes into space trying to find a needle in a haystack and then use that as "evidence" that there is no proof of life on other planets. It's the equivalent of me trying to tune an AM radio station with an FM receiver and saying "Sorry can't find it... station doesn't exist"

Shostak fully believes in life on other worlds. At no point has he ever stated otherwise. You are confusing a disbelief of extraterrestrials visiting the Earth with a disbelief in extraterrestrials. They are not one-in-the-same. Shostak is the chair for the International Academy of Astronautics SETI Permanent Study Group as well as the host of a weekly radio program, Are We Alone, that how life developed on the Earth and how it may apply to life elsewhere in the galaxy. Strange behavior for a man who you think doesn't believe in aliens, wouldn't you say?
Your comments demonstrate you have no knowledge of SETI beyond a parroting of an idiotic attitude held by idiotic UFOlogists. I say idiotic because SETI, if it proves successful, it will only serve to add further weight to their beliefs. However, these hypocrites hold SETI in disdain for something they themselves have failed to achieve.

Sorry but SETI is a complete and utter waste of time....nothing but a tool that can be used to debunk disguised as "investigations".

Best friends of UFOlogy? hahaha yeah sure. Sagan was a debunker.
As for SETI meaning anything to me...... yes it means alot. It stands for "Silly Effort To Investigate".

SETI are more concerned with debunking any UFO sighting as non ET to keep their jobs. Lets face it... how much would they lack credibility... and how stupid do they look with their massive antennas looking deep into space for ET's when they are being spotted all over Earth. They can't even find them in their own backyard.
