Example:
A, B, C, D, etc are all contradictory. D is true. Since D is not compatible with any others, there's a lot of fallacy. Simple.

I will reconsider anything, if faced with a reasonable argument. It's arrogant to declare the only truth, if one also claims to have created it. I don't pride myself in my beliefs. That irrational Truth is true on its own terms. It's simply my endeavor to distinguish between it and fallacy. That's the point I was making.

Many UFO's actually have been identified. None of them thus far have been from outer space but some of them have been baloons used to measure weather. Of course there is never a shortage of people willing to claim Aliens.

Yes, of course. But then, they wouldn't still be classified as "unidentified", would they?

As code for "alien space craft", there is no evidence that any of the flying objects that have made the transition from UFO to IFO are anything other than natural phenomena or man-made objects.

I suspect that a conspiracy theory to "hide the truth" will be posited next - as if any government were that effective at ANYTHING.

Bullshit.
You haven't done your homework and you probably won't.
I agree with the video, and like it a lot. Just because you ain't seen no UFOs doesn't mean there ain't no UFOs.
You ever seen Australia? It's there. An absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. When you spend the time required and look at the GOOD evidence, you will find it. Just like the video shows, if you close your mind to new ideas, you will never be open enough to accept them.

I haven't done MY homework?

Heh. Funny.

Watch the video again.

It's good to keep an open mind, but not so open that your brains fall out.

@Gilbavel
The problem is that the evidence of UFOs that appears to be good at first has not passed the tests that scientific theories have had to pass. If you actually look at them with a critical mind (as scientific ideas not only are forced to do but actually desire for the sake of being proven) then you would begin to see the error in some of the conclusions. I would suggest if you have a convincing piece of evidence you present it to a group of skeptics. That is also the path of science.
