    You could just not pay attention to this issue? We are here to discuss it. Calling people “crazy” isn’t really persuasive.

    You could present an argument that they don’t really believe and of this, for example.

    In Schumer’s case, his mentor was “batshit crazy” Harry Reid, who was in favour of researching the phenomenon and he is basically carrying on this legacy. I don’t think he would do that if he didn’t believe there was something there. Aliens? Maybe. Let’s do actual scientific research and find out?

      Either he said they were aliens or he didn’t.

      If he didn’t, why is everyone bringing him up?

          Just realized you were one of the people who brought up Schumer…

          No wonder you took it personal, and now can’t defend it.

            I’m sorry if I’m replying to the wrong comment, but I’m just going to respond to this most recent one.

            Chuck Schumer was originally mentioned because in your initial comment, it seemed as though you were only linking ‘crazy’ Republicans to the topic. We were pointing out that this is the most bipartisan issue to date.

            I’m not sure what there is to defend on our end. Are you implying that anyone who believes E.T. is behind UAP is crazy? Do you have a specific reason for thinking that those who believe in this hypothesis are irrational? It’s just one of many hypotheses, and perhaps not even the most ‘crazy’ one by your definition.

            Have you checked any links in the sidebar such as uap.guide and some of the cases listed here? I’m curious as to what you think is behind the Phenomenon?

            Edit edit: A more comprehensive post that lays out a lot of cases for skeptics such as yourself to look at.
