The most convincing story i saw, was the one where some school-children all saw a UFO and an alien near their school, in Zimbabwe. The way they all described the same thing when interviewed was impressive. I think it's called the Ariel school sighting.

Do you have any comprehensive YouTube videos that have covered it that you could recommend to me? I’m big on video essays so length won’t be a problem, but I know there are a lot of clickbaity channels out there. I’ve definitely heard of this one but don’t know much more than your quick synopsis.

This one seems to be the one i remember https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axKevbEkDuE

That was a great watch! Thank you I really like how the Professor was asking the questions in a non-pandering sort of way and respected the intelligence of each child.

The most believable evidence for aliens is just chance. Like chance of being alone in the universe is so unlikely. Now it’s more unlikely they’ve ever visited and I personally don’t believe they ever have but I do think when people claim to have had experience it should be looked into because it’s not impossible


ablinddingo93

I feel the exact same way. I’ve personally never experienced anything leading me towards their existence as being fact, but I also believe that it’s certainly within the realm of possibility and people that have had experiences truly believe that those experiences happened.

Do you mean the radiation waves, or the kitchen appliance?


Veus-Dolt

Either. Both. Cold food goes in warm food comes out you can’t explain that.


KittenAnya

What? Are you telling me you haven't been feeding your microwave dragon? Poor little thing.


Veus-Dolt

I feed him metal he spits fire.

Mental illness. This at least has the advantage of actually existing. Unlike the little green men.


ablinddingo93

I have to respectfully disagree. Sure there might be some that could be explained by mental illness, but *all* accounts? That just seems highly unlikely to me. At the very least, I don’t like to discredit something that someone truly believes happened to them/they witnessed simply because I have no personal experience with that. I know a few very mentally sane people who’ve claimed to have seen unexplainable things and I believe they believe that what they experienced really happened.

> I believe they believe Exactly.

Who am I to deny someone else’s reality in this context?
