Really? Show me one, please.

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.
