I never believed until today

Edit: so many bullies here, I just don't see how anyone wouldn't believe after seeing. Plus it's kind of weird to think we may be the only intelligent life in the universe. I'm having admins lock this. Also for the last time I left my phone inside to charge even if I had it, it would have died before a video or picture.

I was outside, grabbing stuff out the car after me and my husband went shopping for our daughter. It was just me and him, of course I saw it first and he didn't so he's been busting my chops since. I saw a freaking ufo and I couldn't believe it. I didn't even have a phone. The weird thing is you could see search lights after I spotted it. It had blueish green lights and it was definitely a ufo I feel crazy but I figured I'd join here and let others know.

I'm sorry I didn't believe any of you who did before, but now I know it's real.

I drew this image above I am by no means an artist but this is what I saw.

Cool, please list it.

Ok let me say this in a more clear way. Can you show me empirical evidence of consciousness? How about the idea of beauty? What about love? Friendship?

Can’t science only prove when things aren’t true? Some would say that. So…can we prove that there is NO other life in the hundreds of billions of galaxies

We aren’t talking about abstract concepts though. Everything you listed is a concept and not a reality. We are talking about actual life and physical object. Things that can be empirically proven if they are happening.

You are saying that without a shadow of a doubt you know these things are happening. To back up extraordinary claims you need extraordinary proof and so far all I’ve seen is rumors and hearsay.

I’m a believer in the possibility of life from other worlds but so far nothing I’ve seen here is any different than the random “sightings” we’ve gotten for years that contain no real proof of anything. Everything contradicts each other and the government officials with stories all seem to be 3rd hand stories or guys in their 80s who have partially lost it.

I get what you’re saying…but I guess my thought is if something is happening, it can be empirically proven by directly observing and documenting it through sensory experiences. This is all I do in my work,daily. I work in healthcare so it’s clearly different but empirical evidence can absolutely be “proven” by observing. You can gather empirical evidence by simply seeing, hearing, or measuring the event as it occurs.

I’m not trying to argue with anyone. For what it’s worth, I didn’t claim anything. I simply asked someone to look up what empirical evidence is and come back lol

[u/DrAuer → u/aintnothin_in_gatlin]

I’m literally a social science researcher observing and recording empirical research is what I do too which is why this is sticking in my craw.

You CAN do that but what we are seeing here is not that. A blurry picture of lights in the sky is not empirical evidence of anything. A story told by a guy to an another guy who says it to a congressional hearing is not empirical evidence. First hand accounts of things can be but when they contain nothing to measure or benchmark it by it’s the same level of evidence as someone saying the earth is flat because they can’t see a curve. Sure that is technically evidence against a round earth but it misses any actual measurement or context that it’s effectively useless.

Yeah, high energy biophysicist here, lol, these people really don’t understand empirical rigour.

[u/aintnothin_in_gatlin → u/DrAuer]

I’m glad you literally do that, seems like my ask of someone to report back about what empirical evidence is…really chapped your cheese

[u/Mammoth_Elk_3807 → u/aintnothin_in_gatlin]

I responded comprehensively and you deflected, lol.
