    Agree with the above 'ES', save for the bit about the poster's 'scientific integrity', how or where was this established?

    He is a scientist by trade, unless I’m confusing him with another poster. If that’s the case, I apologise.

    I'd tell them to lay off the bong for a few weeks to clear their heads.

    You might say 'cynical'; it's a favoured word of religious people for non-believers.

    I would prefer to think of myself as slightly less credulous than you, obviously.;)

    I would disagree on that C. You're the one coming to conclusions based on no evidence or a misunderstanding of the evidence.

    are you trying to tell the OP he didnt see what he claims to have seen?

    I'm not a doctor, but if I were and someone claimed to have seen such a thing, then I would ask them to come and see me sharpish.

    Some people claim to hear voices in their heads, I don't disbelieve the fact that they hear them, but my interpretation of their import and meaning might be at variance with that of the person claiming to hear those voices.

    think its best going forward if i just use the ignore function on the thread and put you on it as you are offering nothing to this thread only adding childish comments. if everyone did that the thread might be interesting

    The fact that you 'outlined' the story doesn't make it any less ludicrous.

    However, after claiming to see the above in bold, I believe it might be best for you to pay a visit to your local GP.

    Do post back and tell us all how you got on, and don't hold back on telling the full story to him/her.

    Do take care.

    tell me this - in all honesty, why would I take your advice to go see a doctor? You admit youve never even met anyone who claims to have seen a UFO - yet here you are, the expert on the subject.

    But - you keep ploughing ahead. You know best after all. :pac:

    You love that word 'evidence', but unfortunately, you got none; otherwise, the thread title under discussion would be utterly meaningless.

    the current '150 ufo reports in ireland' you hear of in the past few months was taken from the National UFO Research Center, Washington's website. If you do a search for 'Ireland', you'll find 146 - and some of those have Ireland twice in the same report so its much less that 150. Its also going back to the 50's. most of it is pretty banal mind you but there's a handful of really interesting ones

    Saw an object once going back a number of years. Three of us witnessed it. It was night, shined like a star.

    It could move horizontal or vertical in an instant. Pretty fecking groovy.

    Not quite.

    ''(Robert)Park explains the emergence of the Roswell saga as the product of over-active imaginations stitching together bits and pieces of reports of unrelated plane crashes, parachute experiments involving roughly life-like dummies, and so on, even though some of these events occurred many miles from Roswell and years later.''
