 and this is why ufo "researchers" aren't taken seriously. they don't try to disprove their theories... like what you're supposed to do with any theory? I actually like Mick West for this, he uses critical thinking, simulations, and tries to find conventional explanations for things, which they usually have. He even did an analysis of the NYT videos and could explain it with lens flares and parallax effects. Everything can be explained. Visiting aliens are astronomically unlikely in comparison.
