So, what would you accept as evidence, then? We believe lots of things with no direct evidence and no visual or experimental confirmation, do we not? Why is it just when it comes to UFOs that people demand incontrovertible proof?
Skeptics try to debunk reports of the phenomenon, not evidence. If radar echoes are corruptible, well, I hope you can prove that in each and every one of those cases the radar was corrupted. If you can't, you've got nothing.
