    A saucer and other saucers are the same thing. A triangle and other triangles are the same thing. Are you being deliberately obtuse?

    A saucer and a triangle are not the same thing. A light is not the same thing as a saucer or a triangle. Yet you don't hesitate to use the same explanatipn for all of them.

    I already told you what is the same. I'm not going to bicker over your false assertions. Your tooth and claw desperation to deny ufos is starting to expose itself. You should do some soul-searching.

    Will you continue to bicker over your own false assertions?

    We're talking about saucers and triangles. You can't use the same explanation for both without explaining the differences.

    Sure I can. There are different types of ufos. Discs and ovoids and cigar-shaped and triangles. All supported by numerous sightings and photographs. It's just common sense.

    Your frantic tooth and claw desperation to deny ufos is starting to expose itself. You should do some soul-searching.

    That's just a convenient rationalization.

    As I've told you before, I wish there were spaceships full of little green men visiting us every day. Unfortunately, reality sometimes gets in the way of our wishes. If it comforts you to think my teeth and claws are trying to avoid something, that's okay with me.

    If I find a soul to search in for little green men, I'll let you know.

    Unless their eyes can somehow perceive such things as metallurgical composition, interior dimensions, exact sizes, vectors and velocities, and other data without question and without error, then yes. Yes they would.

    Ergo, unless they were a member of the Justice League and/or Avengers, they would need substantial equipment to be able to rule out every mundane explanation.

    No...you don't need to perceive all that to tell when a ufo is right in front of you. That's complete bullshit.

    Let's think less about whether this is cherry picking, and more about whether or not the point is demonstrated.

    Some of the things you are accept with wide-eyed credulity include:
    • UFOs have a paranormal or extraterrestrial cause.
    • Bigfoot is real
    • Ghosts are real
    • ESP is real
    I'm sure I've forgotten lots of other fringe beliefs and conspiracy theories that you have supported on this forum.

    When it comes to the "paranormal", you're not really critical of any of it.

    This is a valid observation, regardless of whether any of your wacky beliefs turn out to be true.

    No..I just believe these things because of the evidence. It has nothing to do with credulity.

    Ofcourse I am. I always weed out the frauds and hoaxters in every fringe field. I mean, I don't strut around and brag about it like you guys always do. It's just a routine part of sifting the wheat from the chaff.

    I don't think you have very good insight into yourself. Just saying.

    Do you think the chaff does not know it's chaff?

    You should probably look in the mirror before finding faults in others.

    Oh, really? You don't need to know what it's made of, what it's dimensions are, or any actual details about it to determine that no possible mundane explanation exists for what you are seeing?

    Interesting... sounds like you're the one spouting bullshit. Then again, it's smelled that way for a while

    MR, what do you think of the Cottingly Fairies? Arthur Conan Doyle was impressed.

    You're cheating a bit by blowing up the picture to the size of a bed-sheet. They'd be more convincing evidence at the size they were printed in 1917.

    If you were honest, you'd blow your UFO photos up to that size and see how convincing they are.
