ALIENS EXIST...or so they say.

After coming across the ABC article on proof that aliens exist, I was rather disappointed. The article begins by trying to justify the following arguments with evidence from what may seem to be a reliable source: “President Carter, who said, ‘I saw one, but I don’t know where’…astronaut Gordon Cooper, who says he saw ‘this typical saucer shape”. By using these two “witnesses”, the writer hopes to convince the audience that UFO believers can “weed out the wackos and present credible witnesses.” But who credible are President Carter and Gordon Cooper? After all, they are just regular humans, built no differently than the rest of us. Where are these “credible sources “ then?
The article then moves to attempting to claim more evidence through what is supposed to be fact, “hundreds and possibly thousands of people…reported seeing an array of lights and enormous delta-shaped craft.” However, this “fact” does not seem very credible in that there is not enough hard evidence to prove this point. It is just a bunch of people making a claim that in itself it unjustified by any real evidence.
Descriptions of these aliens and saucers are scattered throughout this article as well as if to attempt to help justify the words coming out of the Former President’s mouth. These descriptions seemed somewhat similar in their claim, “what appeared as a triangular craft.” However, these descriptions are lacking, like the rest of the claims in this article, hard evidence.
