The Drake Equation (or any other statistics related equation) isn't proof of anything, it just gives us an idea of the possibilities of something happening or not.

I give you the Drake Equation. Pretty much PROOF that extraterrestrial life exists.
Many people think that they are able to tell when someone is lying, but how can they (you) be sure? If it's just the way they feel, then there's nothing really supporting their opinion, even if they are right.

I also think I can tell when someone is lying and although I am sure mistakes have been made in every instance this is not so.
The witness knew exactly what they were seeing and it was beyond earthling capability.
I was only talking about the witnesses, to me they are the weakest link in any case.
Some of this has also been picked up by radar and there is some small amount of physical evidence documented.
I believe that extraterrestrial life is possible, but believing that some of those extraterrestrial beings have the capability, the possibility and the will to come to Earth is a different thing.
To believe there is not ET life in the face of all this (not to mention the Drake equation above) is to me the more skeptical and doubtful position and the greater leap of faith.

I believe that your interpretation of what happen is like you told us, but how can I (or even you) be sure that that's what happened? And it's true that what other people believe is irrelevant to what really happened, but so is your interpretation of what happened, things happen the way they do regardless of who may be watching.
There is more to the story but I'm not going to get into that right now. It's really irrelevant whether you believe me or not. I know what I know, and you're going to believe what you're going to believe and that's the way it is.
I do think, perhaps, that you might be guilty of over analyzing things.
Some witnesses have too much to lose by comming forward with evidence. Others risk tarnishing prestigious careers and reputations by offering their personal accounts of the subject matter. Some of us DO know that something is going on, it's just that many people don't believe us. Your loss I suppose.

Why doesn't ATS label everything here a hoax?
How can it be untrue and yet not be outed as a hoax?

Have you heard of King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table? The Round Table was real, here is a photo of it:-

King Arthur was just fiction. What you have here are photo's of some kind of aerial phenonemon but the aliens are as real as KIng Arthur.
Please tell me you're not THAT ignorant. I give you the Drake Equation. Pretty much PROOF that extraterrestrial life exists. Not saying for a fact we'll ever meet them, but they DO exist. The odds of it are so astronomically high that they DO exists.

For starters look yourself at the first footage of balloons where you can see the largest yellow one tumble and it's entirely obvious what it is. You don't need anyone to point that one out. I'll look at the rest when I get a chance. It's been a crazy day.
Opps! Forgot to mention the first line from 1,1.

Too easy, Zorg. Start at 3,3 then a horizontal through 1,3 going "out of the box," then through 1,2 and 2,1 (coordinates) diagonally. The rest is obvious. I used to use it when I was teaching for obvious reasons.

To me, it's because a hoax means that there was the intention of deceiving someone, either those to which the information is presented directly (like making a thread to show a hoaxed video or photo made by the person that makes the thread) or other people that find that information and present it to others thinking it is true.
When someone posts photos or videos of real (or accepted as such) events and it turns out as a matter of interpretation, that cannot be considered a hoax, just some case for which we haven't enough information to really classify.
You should include the above mentioned Tehran incident. There is an interview with one of the pilots on YouTube.

By the way, I can re-cut the video with any footage you guys disprove, but so far all I see are theories, besides Springers comment which seems to debunk the rocket footage.
Show me Hitler or Bin Ladens body.... There are thousands of historical figures where we have no grave. Sometimes the enemies of a leader do not allow a shrine to exist if they can help it for obvious reasons...

Cool, so he was real!!
Just where is the king buried?
As I would love to go to his gravesite.
mmmhm, so they just lost the body huh?
Sure.
The Drake equation doesn't prove anything at all. The topic has been discussed before on ATS but I'm not sure how clearly that has been explained.
