If aliens landed & presented themselves in the flesh would we still believe the excuses that come forth to explain them.
They are government experimental aircraft with hairless monkeys the result of a genetic experiment... etcetera.
Would the masses despite seeing an alien craft landing & creatures from within show themselves still believe the explanations put forward by the establishment? It's my hunch that they would. That people are seasoned to doubt beyond any logical level that would incline them to do so.

My feelings exactly. Doubting Thomases and Thomasettes abound these days, and in my opinion it would take simultaneous mass sightings around the world - by several hundred or thousand ships to convince the majority of humans that the phenomena is real. But one thing is certain: the issue is hotter now than it's ever been, so obviously more people are coming around.

I don't share that perspective. I believe if such a thing should occur, people would believe it. Because let's face it, if you sum up all the videos we have so far, it's not any certain proof of aliens at all. After watching almost any video i could find, i still find the testimonys from pilots (there are tons) the most compelling evidence of something very strange going on.

But ofcourse if ET landed in a public place and made physichal and communicative contact on open screen ofcourse people would believe it. IMHO
