I just hate that word.
It's a LABEL.
It's also quells debate because 99.9% of all people don't believe in "aliens", so you can conveniently dismiss the problem by associating it with something that (so far) doesn't exist.
What if there's another explanation?
Like time warps, electromagnetic energy, pyshic energy and things that go bunp in the dark?

I have done a hell of a lot of research on the unexplained and can argue with the best of them. I can be patient with novices to this research, and occasionally give them insight, but I am quick to dismiss others who THINK they have an answer, or completely miss an obvious point. I've been doing this longer than you've been playing football, and I've personally experinced things that NO ONE has explained to me yet, so don't go getting uppity with me, or I'll fire back faster and be gone.

>"It’s just real hard for me to understand how a living entity that is alien to this planet ........."

How do you think this is a LIVING thing, and why does it have to be PHYSICAL, let alone "alien"?
Therein lies where YOUR reasoning fails.

>"Lindy, all I’m asking for is logical intelligence. Nothing more. I've learned that non technicial people usually buy into this sort of thing. "

Honey, I HAVE logical intelligence and I'm very rational. Pretty high IQ. And I'm an experiencer.
Don't tell me to be logical. And don't talk down to me......sonny!

YOU might have some potential too.
