Im sure that if an intelligent being from another planet came to have a butchers at us they would want to keep themselves unidentified when they see how we treat each other and our planet home. They would soon realise that we don't like things we can't understand and that given the chance we'd probably try to catch or kill them.
When people immediately criticise and try to make out that the person who saw it is just after attention or must be mad they are just exhibiting this very human trait. They dismiss the idea offhand because they haven't witnessed it.
If you can prove something isn't what the witness thought it was fair enough. Otherwise I find it better to keep an open mind.
BTW I have never been witness to any such event and I'm not sure I'd like to, and whether you believe or not everyone has that right to their own opinions.

True,but if you put it on an open forum full of mainly Astronomers,then you should expect to be open to discussion, not just be believed and expect kudos and applause.
Otherwise in a court of law for instance every witness would be believed and basically we would get no where.
I would hazard a guess that there are more people out there who have NOT seen one than people who have.
I don't take stories about "UFO's" at face value and nor should I ,I want facts not fiction,and to me most of the stories are at best misinterpretation,and at worst pure fabrication, and BTW most of them have been proven the latter,with a few in the don't know basket.
Cheers
