That's precisely what a lizard person would say.

It's peculiar. 

You cannot get a photograph of a neutrino, nor can you see one or pick it up on radar, but scientists will surely take the word of a scientist that such a particle exists.
Why can't scientists take the word of the Pentagon, the president, pilot eyewitnesses, radar images, and photos about UAP's.

That's rhetorical, BTW

Scientists adhere to a rigorous methodology that necessitates the ability to reproduce observed phenomena in order to validate their authenticity. This process is integral to establishing credibility within the scientific community.

To date, no credible scientific assertion outright denies the presence of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) or Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). However, the mere existence of these phenomena does not inherently provide conclusive evidence for extraterrestrial visitation. This situation draws an analogy to matters of religious belief and faith. Both UAP/UFOs and religious faith exist, yet they alone do not substantiate the existence of an afterlife.

Moreover, the assertion that "we are not alone in the universe" requires careful consideration. Expressing this sentiment without robust empirical evidence can be misleading, even when articulated by individuals with a strong educational background. Employing this notion to support the contention that extraterrestrial beings are actively engaging with Earth represents an example of the fallacy known as ad infinitum.

Here is and image of our galaxy taken only with observed neutrinos.

Well if the people who believe in the existence of ET-s strongly advocate their beliefs, it's only fair that the non believers advocate their beliefs in the non existence just as strongly. I just don't like it that way

Since it's rhetorical and I get what you're saying I'll just respond with: "You'd better used strings, from the famous theory, as an example." ;-)

Because our current understanding of physics makes it unlikely in the extreme that the source of such things is extra terrestrial.  Factually they are seen on earth not in space (so far).

It needs to be proved there IS a phenomena first before trying to work out what they are. 
 All we have is stories told by individuals whos (IN_MY_OPINION) only goal is to earn money & gain a little fame from it!

Nothing will come of these hearings but those involved will be earing tons of cash for years! Again= IN_MY_OPINION
