And human testimony is not evidence because it is known to be biased and extremely incorrect and furthermore, relevant here EASILY MANIPULABLE.
I'm not saying I agree that we should treat alien abductions as a court case, or that testimonies prove anything in regard to this, but testimony is evidence, especially eye witness testimony. The degree to which the evidence is relevant depends upon the credibility of the witness. How do you think trials were conducted before modern forensics?
Juroara,
Although I don't necessarily agree with you, I am glad you brought up this topic. I have been pondering the UFO phenomenon much lately. (I actually had a very vivid dream about UFOs last night.) I think there is another possibility besides aliens being physically present or all abductees being delusion. Perhaps UFOs are more of a psychic phenomenon. Aliens are ancient archetypes in modern guise. Perhaps all sightings and abductions are thoughtforms.
I would like to delve more into this topic. I would be interested to hear firsthand accounts, if you have them.
Whether aliens are "actually here" or not, the widespread occurrences of this phenomena definitely say something about our collective psyche, and this is the part I find most interesting to explore.
