@MattDaWhite@UAPorSAP Will he be studying his kid that speaks to ghosts or the evil spirits in his house that require him to put crucifixes all over his hallways ?
I’m Not a UFO Skeptic Anymore
Not because I’ve abandoned critical thinking. Because the word now implies I am still sitting at some neutral baseline, patiently waiting for the next “bombshell” video, anonymous source, or disclosure promise to finally change everything.
I’m not. I’ve reached a verdict.
First, let’s clean up the language. Of course UFOs exist. People see things in the sky they cannot identify all the time. That is a statement about perception, distance, cameras, atmosphere, military hardware, balloons, aircraft, drones, satellites, and ordinary uncertainty.
It is not evidence of interstellar visitors.
What we are actually talking about is ET/UFO mythology: crashed saucers, alien bodies, shadow-government reverse-engineering programs, abductions, secret hangars, and the endless promise that disclosure is always just around the corner.
Skepticism is a method, not a permanent state of suspension.
It means listening, checking the data, separating testimony from proof, and following the facts where they lead.
I did that. For decades.
But treating every repackaged rumor as a brand-new hypothesis is not objectivity. It is cognitive amnesia.
The ET/UFO subculture operates on a loop. An anonymous source makes a claim. A blurry video gets hyped. A “whistleblower” repeats something he was told by someone who allegedly knew someone. The community declares that everything is about to break open.
Then nothing happens.
And when the hype cycle collapses, we are expected to grant the movement a blank slate and pretend the previous fifty failures never happened.
I refuse to keep pressing that reset button.
I am not closed to evidence - I am closed to noise.
If undeniable, verifiable physical proof lands on the table tomorrow, I will look at it. Gladly.
But until that day comes, I am not an ET/UFO skeptic in the “maybe this time” sense anymore.
I am an ET/UFO atheist.
The burden of proof belongs entirely to the people making the extraordinary claim. They have not met it. They never do.
