OK....explain, why are they crackpots?? Because they've seen a UFO??. Hardly a good enough reason to call anyone a crackpot. If anything, the noisy debunkers that rant and rave about how these things don't exist and that there's an explanation for everything are the ones who are crackpots. They say where's the evidence....there's plenty of evidence around but you can't get anyone who is so intransigent on their world view to look at it in an objective manner because for the most part they'd rather want to deny it themselves. It's a waste of time arguing with them. As for most scientists....which scientist is going to come out publicly and possibly risk their reputation and career and make a statement publicly supporting the veracity of UFO's. They're not stupid. The ridicule would be enormous and the more stridently arrogant in the scientific community would have a field day being complete mongrels towards the others. Especially those that have well known public reputations and have commented on this. I could go on for ages about this, but I'm not going to bore anyone with the details. Suffice to say that before you go accusing anyone of being a crackpot, you actually take the time to go and find out about whatever they're talking about and have a look at who they are. No evidence....open your eyes. That's not to say there aren't crackpots and fringe dwellers who have all sorts of wacky beliefs about UFO's, but if you sort out the wheat from the chaff you'll see there's plenty to work with. All you have to do is get past your prejudices and preconceived notions and look at the whole subject objectively. Treat it scientifically, not like a religion.
