No, i think it is healthy to have a questioning mind and not just accept anything somebody says. I don’t believe in ghosts, big foot, ogopogo , or visiting aliens. Do i think life exists elsewhere even though i have no aliens on hand to prove it, yes. I believe it’s likely life exists elsewhere because all the components necessary for life to exists exists here and throughout the universe. If life can evolve here it can evolve somewhere else.
The problem i have with the idea of visiting aliens is the time and distances involved. It just seems incredibly unlikely any machine or life could survive for such long periods in the vastness of space. Does it mean i think it’s impossible, no, just unlikely. So if somebody comes to me with a tale of thousand year old corpses of aliens, i’m going to be skeptical and demand proof.
The UFO world is full of grifters and delusional people and being skeptical of outlandish claims is natural and a sign of a healthy thinking mind.
Ok so why do you care? What if all of that is real, and you are very wrong, then what? So, you are wrong and it’s all real and your life doesn’t change. Why do you think it necessary to worry about this in the first place and try to dismiss or debunk anything? Real or fake, it doesn’t matter, but you are wasting real time in your life on this tilting at paranormal windmills.
So part of any discovery is being objective, do you think your bias would allow you to be objective, or are you dismissing things with bias before the data comes out? Such as personal attacks on the people investigating such as respected doctors? How do you stay objective and look at things while also announcing you do not believe in anything?
So this is a religion to you isn’t it? You feel that i should have some kind of blind faith and accept propositions without rigorous scientific investigation and debate. Do you always accept what somebody tells you without question?
No, it’s research and how do you think any researcher is going to find answers going into research with bias? People on here are moving goalposts, dismissing with no evidence or information on the subject other than their opinion. Nor from these responses do they have any background in science or anthropology and just making claims only relevant to their bias. Papier-mâché
seriously… and they want to be taken seriously?

I think finding the truth of things is important.
