Re: UFO evidence

Paige,

This thread is about ufo evidence and from the OP:

Quote:
This thread is for posting evidence of ufo's Photos, and films, even sightings. Evidence should be more than "I saw a light in the sky"
Please stay on topic and stop posting unsupported belief as truth.

I think that if people want to see UFOs where there is none then they see that.

Movement causes blurring of reality
People are quite good at handling motion. People walk, catch balls, juggle. For things that humans cannot do well we create device extend our senses. Telescopes, cameras, microphones, microscopes, etc.

No idea why this is in this thread, but that seems like a quote out of context. The use of the word accurately is wrong. Direct does not apply accuracy.

Yes, it's a question of interpreting what they see (alien craft), rather than what they actually see (light in the sky)

This was here because that was the subject of the whole book (autism) of which this quote was just part

As for people 'handling' reality, this isn't what I was on about. The problem is in perception, not interaction with solid objects - in other words passive reception of information, not active output of energy.
