   Let's not play any games where people pretend that by UFOs   
   (UAVs, etc) they DON'T mean "Aliens from another planet."   
      
   You do.   
      
   Okay, so what is the best evidence FOR and AGAINST the   
   idea of UFOs buzzing the earth?   
      
   AGAINST:   
      
   The best evidence against it, for me, is that the narrative   
   sucks. It's on the level of folklore or even fairytales.   
   Claims aren't just inconsistent but competing.   
      
   WE'RE OVER SATURATED!   
      
   We don't just have aliens we have dozens and in some cases   
   HUNDREDS of alien species, and their various craft, all   
   buzzing the earth and all evading detection while at the   
   same time exposing themselves on a constant basis...   
      
   Then there's the fact that THE MILITARY is the very source   
   of UFO folklore.   
      
   Modern UFO folklore begins with Kennith Arnold and his   
   sighting of "Flying Saucers." BUT, and this is uber   
   important, he was lured to his place of sighting by the   
   military!  They had claimed that a plane crashed and   
   offered a hefty reward to any pilots who overflew the area   
   and found it. THAT is why Kennith Arnold was even there!   
      
   So the UFO narrative sucks out loud. It's an incoherent   
   mess that is self contradictory even during it's rare   
   moments of clarity.
