ufo's
well the odds are goodAnd I did mean unidentified flying objects as in "[a] popular term for any apparent aerial phenomenon whose cause cannot be easily or immediately identified by the observer".

Is this the thread with the pizza and Manhattans, or the dorritos and coffee? I'm getting confused.

I'd like to ask Tynan what he thinks about Weapons of mass destruction, and Illegal wars, and does he consider those to be conspiracy theories?
I don't think you understand what the phrase 'conspiracy theory' is used to mean.
As for illegal wars, so what? Who cares if they are illegal or not, you don't care, I don't care, the victims of the war don't care whether it is illegal or not.

despite all the character assassinating bullshit that has been written over the last few pages
You are the absolute reigning drama queen of character assassination, you spend more time whining and shouting about how corrupt and brainwashed the world is than you do espousing your pious views on anything that can be shoehorned into your ongoing and all encompassing conspiracy theory.
I am not some conspiracy theorist
That is exactly what you are, but then again I have never come across someone who expounds a theory that involves a conspiracy (usually by 'the-powers-that-be') against a group (usually 'the people') and then admits to having just presented a conspiracy theory, but this is what you are, a conspiracy theorist.

i am fucking not. i've seen it with my eyes.
YouTube- Mythbusters - Plane on conveyor belt the practice!
the question may be badly framed. but. -
and occams razor..would suggest that out of thousands and thousands of sightings from credible witnesses...
the most sensible answer would be that ufo's exist.
I don't think anyone denies that.
Well, UFOs exist - as in people have seen things that they don't recognise, but I think Wingedangel is probably reading more into it than that - after all why would you need a 'credible' witness to say you saw something you don't recognise.
Wingedangel's conclusion is not sensible at all, this shit-for-brains notion is built on a a couple of common logical fallacies.
Firstly we have 'assuming the initial point' (or 'begging the question') - where the premise already contains or at least partially supports the conclusion being sought - it's established without discussion, debate or evidence that there are thousands and thousands of sightings from credible witnesses.
This is like wondering into court as a prosecuting lawyer and with your opening gambit you announce to the jury: "Of course we all know he did these killings, so the most sensible punishment should be life imprisonment"
(note to Wingedangel: by using this analogy here I am not suggesting you are either a murderer, a defence lawyer, a jury memeber or that you should be imprisoned - if you still struggle with the idea of analogy as a device - Google: learnin' )
The second fallacy used here is an 'Argumentum ad Populum' (appeal to numbers) - basically "thousands and thousands people can't be wrong" - which I tried to address before by pointing out that Hinduism has around a billion followers but the numbers render it no more factual than UFO's thousands of sightings.
An idea is valid (or is not valid) on it's own merits rather than the number of people who subscribe to the idea.
