2. Skeptics want absolute proof..

.... of the existence of extraterrestrials. On the other hand, the skeptics have offered no proof , absolute or otherwise, as to what they actually are. Many incidents can be explained away, especially hoaxes, but, there are many incidents, such as the one stated above that cannot be explained away. They love telling people what they are not, but they completely ignore the elephant in the room in that they cannot tell us what they actually are.
I am not a skeptic. I am a waiter. I have been waiting all my life for them to show up. I'm 70 now, and if necessary, I will be waiting till the day I die. I may not have it in my lifetime but I have confidence it will happen at some point. To those who say you've been waiting all your life just to feel disappointment at age 70? My reply to them would be that my lifetime is no more than a flicker when compared to the concept of time overall. I do believe someone will make first contact with possible extraterrestrials. Unfortunately, I may not have enough time for it to be me.

Arthur c Clarke's third law:
"Any sufficiently advanced civilization is indistinguishable from magic"

Would not human skeptics, with their limited knowledge, and imagination, come to the conclusion that if extraterrestrials have visited Earth, the only way they would be able to do it would be by "magic"?
