      Well there are two things I haven't figure out one of them was a couple of years back in Milwaukee we saw large missile drones going past us with no engine sound and arise into the clouds.
      And the last final thing is China's actual moon rovers footage when landed on the Dark Side of the Moon. The cool part you can see the parking lines of radiation that filled the dark sky landscape. This very day TH-cam won't allow the original video to bring uploaded.
      These are the things that you guys are not aware that's going on in politics

    I honestly like the fact that he's a heavy skeptic. What better person to do UFO research than a skeptic? If he confirms, with solid evidence that they are here and have visited us it will be easier for people to believe. This is a good thing which a lot of people overlook.

      Gold standard of what though? What's more likely, the fact that they're aliens from far away planets with highly advanced tech, and they're way smarter than us and just happened to be dumb enough to get caught not once, but many many times, or that it's top secret government tech, that you will NEVER know what they even begin to have? C'mon now. And why would they release documents about UFOs? It's reverse psychology. You conspiracy theorists never trust the government until they line up with your view.

      So these craft emit electromagnetic waves of different frequencies. That pretty much applies to everything on our planet. Almost everything emits/reflects electromagnetic waves of different frequencies. Big deal! Maybe Michio Kaku should work on evidence for string theory (hypothesis) which he currently has none.

I mean it could be true that UFO's are being seen as much as they say, with VERY LITTLE evidence, or it could not be true. Both have valid points, and there is no clear indication at this time. So Shermer does have validity to what he is saying. Are UFO's like even 70% proven at this time? Until then, Shermer is right to question the sightings.

      Attention please:
      To everyone who’s ever wondered, God is real. The Bible is truth. The key that so many miss is in the inner work Jesus Christ laid out. Specifically forgiveness. To be forgiven we must forgive. It’s a mandatory requirement that keeps God at arm’s length until you’ve done it. Specifically forgiving our parents. It’s a secret truth of this universe. Our parents have generally loved us to some degree, feeding raising clothing etc. They are supposed to be the easiest people for anyone to forgive. That’s why it was made the bare minimum stander for us. If there’s love in your heart you forgive. It shows so much love and faith to God. You have to genuinely look inside, process your emotions, and forgive from within your heart. Complete forgiveness is an act of love. No rewards, bribes, or apologies necessary. That’s where all this starts, within your heart. God basically doesn’t care until you’ve paid this mustard seed of faith. After you do this he takes notice. He sets you on a path that will lead you to the true knowledge of him. God is love, and he and the more you show love the more you understand God. Please, before you dismiss me, please consider my words. I don’t share this for no reason. You must forgive. It heals your soul. It will lead you to truth. Please, just do.
      Also, please read at least three books of the Bible, Genesis Mathew and one you chose yourself. It is so important. Pray to Jesus Christ, break down those walls you’ve built up there, and ask for forgiveness for yourself. We all need it. Both giving and receiving. Please. The Bible is truth.
      Jesus Christ is the way truth and life.
      Jesus Christ is Lord

      The problem is that anyone that knows anything about the UFO topic, more than a shallow surface level pop culture nonsense, realizes how absolutely ignorant and uninformed Shermer is of the thing he claims to be an expert on.
      He's not annoying to listen to because people are afraid of being challenged, he's annoying to listen to because he himself has no awareness of the lack of hard knowledge he has about the topic, the lack of knowledge he then uses to conclude things from.
      It's not scientific, and its not right.
      The same reason its annoying to listen to a FlatEarther speak.

    One thing that is a problem at times in the scientific community is the whole “ridicule” factor. This keeps very legitimate scientists from even wanting to touch certain subjects w a 10 ft pole out of fear of losing their whole careers and being ostracized by the community as a whole. It even happened with evolution in the beginning. It was laughed at and dismissed off hand as lunacy for a number of years and a lot of actual serious scientists got laughed out of their careers because it was such a “laughable idea”. It wasn’t until the issue kept being pushed and pushed and by more scientists that it finally started to be taken more serious. The idea and acceptance of it actually evolved itself and over time, it became more and more accepted as more scientists were willing to steak their careers on it and submit their papers for peer review. And as we all know now, there is overwhelming evidence for the theory of evolution by natural selection. It’s the cornerstone of biology now. That was not always the case and it was a slow process to become “mainstream” vs “quackery”.
    I am a very big fan of the scientific method and I realize that science is the single best method for determining what is most likely the case given the evidence we have.. the problem I also see is that fear factor that exists with new ideas or ideas that people think are “crazy” just because it just seems soooo out there etc etc. this UAP phenomena has been goin on for years.. centuries actually and only until more recently has it been looked at in a more serious light especially after the pentagon releasing information and videos of UAPS that they had optical and radar evidence of these “crafts” displaying moves that seem to defy all laws of known physics and logic. What I see in the scientific community regarding this subject is ridicule ridicule ridicule by the mainstream right off the bat. There are actual serious legitimate scientists who are afraid to even touch the subject because of the “taboo” nature of it that a society has caused. This can block the progression of actually learning more about these things. At this point there is no debate on whether there are unidentified things flying around our air space displaying moves that seem to defy all known physics.. no matter how much someone wants to claim that it’s debatable. The real question is what are these things and what/who is inside em. Thousands of documented cases that actually have very specific details about the event and even by high military personnel.. Hell, I watched Major Jesse Marcel, the dude who was pictured in the papers after the Roswell incident holding up some kind of foil they said was from the “weather balloon”, I watched him say on camera that he was told to lie about that and pose for that picture and that what they actually found was anything BUT a weather balloon and that what they actually found was other worldly.. and this guy was actually THERE!!
    Science should not ridicule any idea. I’m not saying it should come to a conclusion before it’s warranted either- I’m saying, the current scientific community and way that we determine what should and shouldn’t be taken seriously is very flawed and NOT the definition of being objective. Ridiculing people to a point where no legitimate scientist wants to study the phenomena out of fear of losing their career is NOT the way it should be and is NOT the proper way to learn more about our reality and universe and advance our species. It just limits our learning in my opinion.
    Btw this is just and interesting event that took place in 1561 very well documented from that time and witnessed by many.
    A broadsheet news article printed in April 1561 describes a mass sighting of celestial phenomena. The broadsheet, illustrated with a woodcut engraving and text by Hans Glaser, measures 26.2 centimetres (10.3 in) by 38.0 centimetres (15.0 in). The document is archived in the prints and drawings collection at the Zentralbibliothek Zürich in Zürich, Switzerland.[2]
    According to the broadsheet, around dawn on 14 April 1561, "many men and women" of Nuremberg saw what the broadsheet describes as an aerial battle "out of the sun", followed by the appearance of a large black triangular object and exhausted combattant spheres falling to earth in clouds of smoke. The broadsheet claims that witnesses observed hundreds of spheres, cylinders, and other odd-shaped objects that moved erratically overhead. The woodcut illustration depicts objects of various shapes, including crosses (with or without spheres on the arms), small spheres, two large crescents, a black spear, and cylindrical objects from which several small spheres emerged and darted around the sky at dawn.

    The UAP's certainly ACT like they're scouts gathering science and data. Not only to observe and gather information on their behalf but seemingly to give US information as well communicating through their actions. That information being that they know of our nuclear weapons and can shut them down whenever. They can read and understand our military's flight patterns. They knew Cmd. Fravor's rendezvous point 60 miles away and from what I understand only a few people knew. It's all so wild ..I'm excited for more.

      Hi Brian, was reading your reply. I witnessed UFO's. Operating in my airspace. And from what it looked like, it's like there fixed to one point and everything else moved around them. To get an idea shine a laser pointer in a dark room and make random patterns.They move exactly like that. Hairs stood up on my skin and it made me nervous. It was almost paranormal the way they moved. I wasn't allowed to smoke in the house if I was I would never have seen them. 100% a real thing

Real skepticism is being able to do what Eric Weinstein and Michio did, and change your mind on evidence and data. He’s not an true skeptic. He’s just refusing to look through the telescope and be open minded to the data that is plenty right now. I value scientist have common sense and can be like OK I was wrong.

      Although we must concede we don't have enough *confirmed* data to draw definitive conclusions about UFO's and it's *imperative* we adhere to the scientific method, the body of *evidence* currently catalogued is sufficient to support the factual existence of *extraordinary* physical craft in our skies & oceans.

      @@sasqetshenkley1190 Thanks for these links, I will go through them :) To be pedantic, we likely cannot adhere to the scientific method because the scientific method assumes that the subject is unaware of the experiment and will always react to the same experiment the same way. These are safe assumptions when dealing with molecules or blocks of wood sliding down a ramp, but not when dealing with unknown intelligence. Instead we have to adhere to the principles of "counter-intelligence", which are based on the same realist philosophy as the scientific method, but prescribes different rules of epistemology for the case where the subject is an intelligent agent who may be reacting to the experiment and intentionally attempting to direct the perceptions of the investigator.

There are all sort of little cognitive devils like recency and primacy effects, and retroactive and proactive interference. In other words, right out of the gate, unless you have eidetic memory, your own brain is conspiring to make you remember events upside down and out of order.
