Really? Show me one, please.

which is no guarantee of infallibility. And it's well known that higher altitudes do funny things to the brain.

also no guarantee of infallibility. And despite your evident dislike of the concept, mass hallucination is a PROVEN phenomenon. Whether UFO sightings are mass hallucinations or not is a matter open for debate, certainly, but that mass hallucinations in general exist is not.

Photographs I'm interested in. Show me.

I've read weird things like that. I don't know if they're true or not; I haven't heard the recordings or read the original accounts.

I am not convinced of this "obvious fact". I _know_ that eyewitness evidence is horribly inaccurate. Photographs I'm interested in. Eyewitness evidence, not so much.

4 people in far north Queensland Australia, stood on a deserted tropical beach and watched a UFO, performing all the classical UFO routine.
High-speed right hand turns and glowing seductively in a stationary position and blinking in a manner that would do Steven Spielberg proud!
If it were the Moon, Venus or Swamp gas the it would have had to have been the most highly maneuverable swamp gas I've ever seen!
No one got a anal probe! And I've had no visits from little gray dudes!
I saw something strange, weather it was extraterrestrial or not I don't know.
Scary.
