UFO Origins
Micah Hanks digs into the controversial question: from where do the UFOs originate? As he says:
“Researchers like Tim Beckley have posed questions regarding Hollow Earth theories, subterranean dwellers and the like for years, but at present I am reminded of how Jacques Vallee famously illustrated his five principle arguments which he felt weighed against the notion of extraterrestrial origins lying behind the UFO mystery (which we’ll look at in a moment). ‘Scientific opinion has generally followed public opinion in the belief that unidentified flying objects either do not exist (the natural phenomena hypothesis) or, if they do, must represent evidence of a visitation by some advanced race of space travelers (the extraterrestrial hypothesis or ETH),’ Vallee argued. He also said that UFO researchers shouldn’t have to be restricted only to these two alternatives.”

This is just fantasy thinking. For example, how do we know that the ‘real’ explanation for all of the points given in Micah’s post is that the Earth is a way point for interstellar travelers? That would explain just as much but what evidence is there for such a claim? First you have to pretend that some UFOs have been identified as foreign craft, then you have to pretend that these crafts have humanoid beings piloting them, then you have to pretend that lots of them are flying around us all the time, then you have to pretend that there are many solar systems in which these many humanoids have a need to travel to Earth, then…so when does the pretending end and reality begin? Before we start going into excruciating details of the visitors and their psychology, better to first prove they even exist and arrange to meet one so they can be studied for real. Otherwise, there is no difference between the person who claims they can describe the agendas and habits of the visitors and a person in an insane asylum who claims they regularly talk with Moses and the Prophets of the Old Testament.
