Get serious. Hell, it's even amateurs. This is as absurd as Sagan's assertion that exceptional claims require exceptional proofs. No, any proof is a proof. What IS an exceptional proof, anyway? Why would standards vary? A thing is either Q.E.D. or it's not. Both these are examples of scientist bigotry being mistaken as science by submissive scientist groupies and science fetishists. And ignoring bad logic and false assertions is not scientific in the least.

Typical debunker;s bunk. Talk to pilots who solidly observe what they characterize as machines, which are concurrently tracked on radar, which sometimes collide with planes and leave physical evidence, etc. No one can say they're ET, that's specious hypothesizing, but to deny that strange things are zooming around is simply obtuse. It's willful ignorance. Bad Astronomy, bad logic, and bad research. Typical debunker;s bunk.
