My comments refer to all the people who dismiss UFO St as twaddle I'm not defending anyone.
But nothing bugs me more than people who run down others for believing in something other than the mainstream dribble we are force fed.
The only pictures of Pluto are blurry yet we all just take its existence as gospel.
The sheer weight of UFO evidence would suggest there is at the very least something to this.
Yet one eyed ignorance seems to follow the unexplained in our universe throughout the ages.
Remember when people were ridiculed for saying the earth was round?
Please keep an open mind but not to the point were your brain falls out.

Hey Brad,

I doubt if anyone here 'remembers' people being ridiculed for thinking the world was flat! How old do you think we are - lol

Anyway, for the record it's actually a big myth that people of yesteryear thought the world was flat.

It's actually never been mainstream thinking, even though most people alive today do seem to think that folks hundreds of years ago thought the world was flat.

But thanks for the history lesson and I mean that sincerely it is true that you learn something every day.

Generally, thinking that is not mainstream gets a hearing in this forum..., and often some exciting debate. However, the assertions made by the owner of the facebook page are so far off "mainstream" as to be in an entirely different catchment, on another planet. Ludicrous does not even come close to it. Its this kind of twaddle that brings out the nutters and it should be named up as such...
