Sorry but what your referring to is blind faith. something i won't do, and im fairly sure the rest of the skeptics here won't do either. You say what proofs gonna be good enough? Simply... Proof that isn't a blurry pic or cgi video. Proof that can be seen clearly for what it is vs proof thats only based on one persons encounter, circumstantial evidence , or 2nd or even 3rd hand stories. Proof that multiable people sighted something that was immdiately viewed by the media... and not reports that happen hours after the fact.
For me that proof is the jerusalam sightings in 2011.. and as far as i know has not been completely debunked (could be wrong)
Yet i would be stupid to think that is absolute proof when the courts still out. There is evidence out there but nothing is solid and aslong as there is doubt then you will never have a total agreement on this subject.

Well, you ARE wrong. Even the owners of this forum have declared their view that the Jerusalem sightings were a video hoax. So what YOU regard as proof is merely yet another story that has been debunked by many visitors to ATS. And that is the problem. So-called "proof" of genuine UFOs can be claimed that was based upon multiple witness sightings and video evidence immediately verified by the media and it will STILL not satisfy some of you. What is proof for one is not proof for another - not necessarily because the latter has higher standards to satisfy but because he has DIFFERENT criteria that he needs to convince him. And that's why we still have skeptics despite all the evidence out there. There are some who would still scream "hallucination" or "Chinese lanterns" even if they, personally, saw a flying saucer from the planet Zog land on their petunias in their back garden (well, excuse the hyperbole - I hope you see my point). So, even first-hand evidence would not convince them, let alone ANY variety of second-hand testimony - however reliable or credible the witness(es) seemed. And so it will remain until they land on the White House lawn. Until then, ufology will remain no more than anecdotes of varying degrees of reliability.
"For me a example of the type of proof needed is the same kinda setup as the jerusalam sightings in 2011.. and as far as i know those have not been completely debunked (could be wrong)"

Cynicism never found the truth about anything, only an open mind has a cat in hells chance.
