Kicking the Hornet’s Nest (UFO-related article)

2. I’m skeptical (small “s”) of

the idea that ET is visiting Earth, but I don’t dismiss the possibility out of hand. There are some real wackadoodles (to put it mildly) in the UFO community, but I wish the debunkers would stop lumping together everyone who thinks it’s possible ET could be zipping around out there. Sure, some of us are stupid and gullible and some of us are just plain nuts, but some of us are reasonably intelligent and sensible people who would just like to know the truth, one way or the other.

Unexplained UFO sightings and UFO reports, especially those made by experienced airplane pilots and other reliable witnesses, warrant investigation. Instead of scoffing at such reports and dismissing them outright, scientists and other qualified people should investigate them. I don’t know if there’s a cover-up of information going on pertaining to UFOs, but I know there’s a lot of scornful pooh-poohing by people who claim to be skeptics but who are really just die-hard debunkers.
