Hey there.

As the title says, don’t you feel frustrated whenever a new video comes along and it’s just a blurry pixel doing mundane things?

15 years ago I saw something extraordinary, something that I tear up by just remembering. I won’t go into details because why would I? I’m a stranger on the internet and my experience has no weight cept for me. But I know what I saw, and I truly wonder why nobody ever caught something like that with a camera.

Video after video after images come out and all that I’m left saying to myself is “that’s not it”.

I’m just frustrated that the hallucination hypothesis is the best explanation for my sighting at this point.

how do you cope with that?

    always the people that refuse to read urging others to read for them.

    you are aware that just because you learned some buzzwords recently, applying them incorrectly does not suddenly make them applicable?

    You’re just incorrectly using buzzword after buzzword without context.

    have you tried “gaslighting” yet?

    That’s probably another reason you don’t need to look at any evidence related to the topic you are ignorant about.

    because I’m “gsslighting” you.

      How is it incorrect? You quote Galileo as a way to support the idea that despite no consensus on the existence of alien life, you are convinced that you know better. Are you really so dishonest that you’ll now argue that you mentioned him out of nowhere, and not to compare your situation to his?

      And all you manage to do is pile some random bullshit to try to discredit me? I don’t even know how you managed to insert gaslighting into this, but it does cast even more shadows on your intentions.

        “How is it incorrect?”

        Let us count the ways.

        "You quote Galileo "

        incorrect, I did not quote Galileo.

        “as a way to support the idea that despite no consensus on the existence of alien life…”

        incorrect. I am not supporting this.

        “you are convinced that you know better.”

        incorrect again, I have not stated that I know better, I have stated that you are ignorant of the scientific evidence, as you have admitted.

        “Are you really so dishonest that you’ll now argue that you mentioned him out of nowhere, and not to compare your situation to his?”

        this is going to apparently wreck your worldview, but telling the truth is the opposite of being dishonest.

        incorrect a fourth time and a fifth, as I had no intention of comparing my situation to his, but rather pointing out your tendency to ignore evidence that disproves your believies, just as the masses ignored scientific evidence while Galileo presented them with it

        as I’ve said from the beginning, you are one of the blind masses.

        dang, you are behind.

        “And all you manage to do is pile some random bullshit to try to discredit me”

        by some random bullshit, do you mean the exact things that you said?

        you don’t believe in evidence, you prefer believies.

        That’s your problem.

        it doesn’t mean the evidence doesn’t exist, that the telemetry doesn’t exist or that radiological data doesn’t exist or that radar and credible witnesses don’t exist.

        it just means that your beliefs are stronger than your intellect.

        “I don’t even know how you managed to insert gaslighting into this”

        unsurprising.

        you keep crying wolf pretending that I am using logical fallacies even though you have incorrectly used each logical fallacy so far, including your accusation of me using the “Galileo Gambit”, which apparently after I pointed it out is why you are pretending that you we’re making a simple comparison to Galileo rather than mistakenly regurgitating the logical fallacy correlated with his name.

        did you even know Galileo was a scientist before you used your little buzzword incorrectly?

        I don’t really care, that was retortical.

        so I don’t know those are examples of you being incorrect what seven, eight times?

        that, as a whole, is how you are incorrect, to answer your plaintive cry.
