Would any sceptic kindly like to debunk this.  Or is this finally evidence to prove unexplainable events are occurring, without actual proof of aliens.</description>

		<description>I have evidence from what I&#039;ve seen with my eyes, so it&#039;s logical to assume that some other sightings are probably unexplainable as well.  And before anyone says that&#039;s not logical,  I think most people would change their minds after seeing one.

I find it comical that people make comparisons between UFO sightings and religions, as I don&#039;t recall anyone except the few inside churches claiming to have seen or talked to a god.  A reliable recent survey concluded 24% of the population of South East England have said to have seen a UFO before.  Religion is about &#039;believing&#039;, but seeing something which we can just categorise as unexplained is competely different.

I was using this forum to try and find out what evidence, if any exist from well known sightings, as I haven&#039;t got the time to investigate every one of them.  I&#039;m not convinced that a few incidents don&#039;t have partial evidence to suggest something extraordinary may have occurred, namely the 1994 incident with 62 kids in Zimbabwe and similar incident in Wales in the 1970&#039;s.  Maybe the O’Hare 2006, Guernsey 2007, Stephensville 2008 incidents are also examples.

Regardless of the fact that there is no definitive proof, there&#039;s a lot of compelling reports with competent observers.  I also fully understand that eye-witness accounts are not always accurate and, we will have to wait for some evidence before some people will even consider an event unexplainable, even if the event is definitely unexplained.</description>

		<description>Had UFOlogy been a religion in some way, this is the point where the adherent would politely accept that some people just don&#039;t want to accept The Truth, and will see the error of their ways whilst suffering eternal damnation in the afterlife.  Fortunately, UFOlogy is nothing like a religion, so we won&#039;t get the whole &quot;you&#039;ll be sorry when you realize I was right!&quot; schtick.

Oh, darn.</description>
