Alex....a critical thinker is open minded and will consider the possibilities. A skeptic is not. Skeptics invariably jump at the gun to dismiss what they hear without considering anything apart from their own version of reality through the lens of their egos. Critical thinkers take a subject on its merits and will not judge it on ego or perceived paradigm. Critical thinkers never attack the messenger, skeptics pretty much thrive on ad hom attacks.

That's just some of the differences between the two.

Funny I went to the movies on Monday night to take in "Cowboys and Aliens"
"Gunfight at the O.K Space Station" Looks like a good movie, actually. Only seen the previews, but it's got some good actors in it

Yes Carl a piece of craft would go a long way to convince me, but I would want to see the craft flying before you cut off a bit...and even then would I be convinced and not wonder if I was being mislead.
I don't think those flying it would appreciate anyone chopping their mode of transport into pieces just to sate someone's curiosity!!!!

Needless to say the only way you're ever going to get that proof is if you see one crash and go grab a piece. However, you'd never keep it for long. The military would inevitably find out and come and get it, just as they would descend on the crash very quickly and clean up the area almost like they'd hoovered everything up. You might be lucky and find some bits lying around, but given the subject matter, I doubt it. The area would've been gone over with a fine toothed comb.

If after all that you still had a feeling you were being misled, there'd be nothing anyone, not even the aliens themselves, could do to convince a person like that, of otherwise. What would be the point.

You know what would be funny...if you out at somewhere like Coona' or anywhere out west looking through your scope, one night, and then you felt a tap on your shoulder. Only to turn around and see a Grey standing there and have it ask could it take a look through your scope
