What I Have Been Putting Up With 

I have been writing about aliens and UFOs for 3 years. I wish I had a dollar for every person that challenged me when it comes to what I have written. The business calls these people debunkers. I can classify debunkers in 4 categories.

The first one I call “Binary Thinkers.” These people approach UFOogist appealing to their religion. You know them when they ask, “Do you believe in God?” as if to say that God did not make aliens. One person asked me, “What other fairy tales do you believe in?” like they knew the secrets of life. These people are usually the righteous ones.   

The second are people who believe that only Earthly are real. They tell you that since they have not driven down Pennsylvania Ave., parked their spaceship in a “no parking” zone, jump over the White House fence and ask to see the President that they cannot be real.   

The third type of debunker is the person who doesn’t want to know about aliens. They will challenge believers on the subject. Then once they are shown the evidence then they will tell you not to show them anymore about it. I had one person tell me that I can talk to them about any subject except UFOs and Aliens. 

The forth type of debunker is the person in denial. They will not tell you anything about their view on the subject. If a believer starts talking about aliens and UFOs, they will start talking about “Baseball, Apple Pie, and Chevrolet.”  

With 80% of the world believing that other life forms exist, we can look for more and better research into this subject in future years around the world.
