and no, i don't have documents lying around. it's the internet. if i kept everything i found, i would have many hard drives full, and no time to do anything but categorize it all. like i say, if it piques your interest, don't wait for someone to show you. go find it.

I'm a sceptic. Among other things, that means I try to maintain some kind of criteria for what I'm prepared to believe in. Based on what I know about the universe, the hypothesis that intelligent aliens having visited planet earth does not pass the criteria. As I wrote earlier, assuming that the idea is pure imagination, well, as long as there's no evidence to conflict with that assumption, then it's one simple assumption which is congruent with what we know about reality. People have active imaginations and are sometimes manipulative. If you accept that aliens visited our planet back then, you have to make a whole new set of assumptions about our universe to fit that hypothesis into your world view. The chances of you believing in something which is not true rises dramatically. Put simply and bluntly, I believe in not bull****ting myself.
Saying there is proof and that I just have to go find it, well .. that's not really a convincing argument. I have to say my motivation is lacking.
