Greer claims he's in contact with beings and frequently sees UFOs, but what water does that hold for someone who hasn't experienced what he has. Right, very little. He's not much different than Adamski or the other contactees of the 50's and on who claimed alien visitations. I do applaud his efforts to collect witness testimonies and all that. I haven't seen the Greer video, but I've researched enough UFO and abduction topics to know we absolutely need physical proof to nail this thing down. Something that can't be denied by the military, government or the scientific community. I don't know if this is a forgotten alien coffee cup or a discarded dark energy propulsion system. It has to be something physical that doesn't disappear and absolutely can't be traced to man or Earth, but has unrefutable intelligent design to it. It's what science demands, regardless of all of the people who have seen UFOs firsthand (millions), and the people who claim to be involved with beings from somewhere other than this Earth or dimension (millions). I can't fault the scientific community for requiring physical proof, but I do condemn them for using conventional explanations in certain sightings where conventional reasoning was clearly and obviously not part of the equation. I don't believe the skeptics who think every UFO sighting is easily explainable. I don't believe every person who says they have been abducted or saw a UFO. At this point I still believe in the honesty of most people, but I still need to see it with my own eyes to really know. I think that is the difference between those who have seen and those who haven't. If you haven't seen a UFO close and personal or been visited by beings, but you still think they are real (like myself), you are a believer. If you have been a witness or have been visited, you know they are far more than just wishful thinking. Believing for or against is easy, knowing one way or the other is harder.

Are they all insane? Are they all in cahoots?" Some of them yes. Some of them are like you: looking for a reason to believe. Looking real hard. Don't forget there are a lot of con artists out there looking for people who are looking for a reason to believe. Uri Gellar is a big fake, and yet there are plenty of "eyewitnesses" and apocryphal stories attesting to his alleged great powers. Why, I'll bet they could even fill up a couple DVD's. And there's all those wonderful religions too... “Are every single one of these guys (recorded for this project) crazy? Are they all insane? Are they all in cahoots?”

PLEASE give me a CLEAR, UNREFUTABLE image. Or video. Not something that is grainy, or something that is far away, or that can be construed to be something else. Same for the Loch Ness monster, bigfoot, and all these other things. Do I believe there is other life out there - hell yes. Do I believe they have come here to Earth? Heck no.
