    Hmmmm....why would Jimmy Carter fake this though; this " wishing it be true " . why wish? Are you saying that Jimmy imaged his experience?

    No, no, that was me searching for reasons why I might like to believe a story like that. As in, what are the reasons that I (myself) would wish for this to have happened). From what little I know about Jimmy, he seems as on the level as you could be (spiritually) considering the circles he must have traveled in.

    What?! No! I search for why things like the Jimmy Carter thing would make me feel better about the world or myself if I though them to be true. (Like Mexican drug smugglers believing that carrying a picture of the patron saint of smugglers will keep them safe. Obviously that is a behavior that has been learnt or taught through what ever experience). Once I've subtracted as much of my subjective perspective as I can with regards to things like that, then I'm more comfortable believing them.

    Side stepping the bullshit and conspiracy claims that abound in this thread with our resident nut, let's talk on what we do know
    * There is no conclusive evidence for any Alien contact or any Alien visitation on planet Earth.

    Despite this, most cosmologists and scientists do accept that ETL should most certainly exist elsewhere, and ETI at a slightly rarer rate.
    The sheer, probably infinite, extent of our Universe, and the sheer numbers of moons, planets, stars, galaxies that abound attest to this.
    Contact between species is difficult due to the time factor, the limited universal speed limit and distances factors:

    No conclusive evidence means no conclusive evidence.
    Keep trying though.

    Since THERE IS NO CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE then your comment is inapplicable.

    Only that fabricated and misinterpreted by gullible childish fools.
    Or do you also claim to have had those familiar Alien medical experiments conducted on your person?

    We have had no Alien visitations, or at least no evidence to suggest any, as well as no Alien contact.
    Don't push your gullible claims on to me.

    He obviously knows far better than you and your gullibility in the extreme.

    ps: Do you also believe the nonsense with regards to the Bermuda Triangle?

    But you take it easy, OK?
    Your Aliens and ghosts and giants and fairies may show up one day.

    Sure!
    Maybe a disprin and a lay down may help.

    Would it help you?

    I'm sure that for most part the general populus can handle the truth.
