One man's subjective belief is another's hallucination, I guess...

The question, "do you believe in Ufo's" as if it was some kind of a religion is the wrong question.
The question should be "How good is the evidence that UFO's exist"??
The answer to that is:"Not very good at all". The same goes for any form of religion.
In my opinion, since the witches, the devil, and demons are not popular anymore, the UFO's are on the rise. That's the explanation. Mass hystery.
I like the parallel between the gospels and the Roswell incident.

There is no doubt they exist, as a moments careful reflection will prove. Nobody doubts that. A bird is a UFO until you know it is a bird. Agreeing what they are is the problem. I am sure they do not come from outer space, that's just silly quite frankly.

They probably come from an alien base under the earth.
