It's a huge, huge leap from "Unexplainable things are happening" to "These are alien spacecraft."
You can take the unexplainable part and do something useful with it - like making observations public and collecting more data.
The rest is a speculative hypothesis about the data.
This has always been one of the biggest problems with the reaction to these phenomena. You can't stop at "Unexplainable things are happening" without being told "They can't be, because interstellar travel is impossible."
That's very poor logic and equally poor science.
- mindcrime 5y agoIt's a huge, huge leap from "Unexplainable things are happening" to "These are alien spacecraft." Agreed. You can't stop at "Unexplainable things are happening" without being told "They can't be, because interstellar travel is impossible." Also agreed. We need to be able to divorce analysis of the actual phenomena - whatever they actually are - from one specific speculative hypothesis.
