The Extraterrestrial Hypothesis for the UFO phenomenon should be taken seriously.

With respect to the information regarding Foo Fighters. It is important to point out that this is not credible as Foo Fighter was just another name assigned to UFOs in World War 2. Most of these cases can be explained away just as any other case presented for the Korean War. What is interesting is that we have to look to World War 2 (1939 to 1945) or the Korean War (1950 - 1953) to find multiple mention of these UFOs by pilots. Yet in later wars with improved technology like the Persian Gulf War (1990 to 1991) and Bosnian War (1992 to 1995) there is no mention of UFOs by pilots. Seems that technology and UFO sightings have a co-dependant relationship, with improved technology leading to less unexplained phenomena. In effect, how many of the so called UFO sightings should we discard as just poor technology or misunderstood at the time. This statement ties in with the my opponent opinion that I have a preconceived bias. I would say this is not true, I have looked at the information supplied an have simply looked for alternative natural explanations to these sightings other than "I do not know hence alien. "I want to add an analogy here, the scientific world was against the quantum theory (Einstein denied it until he died) but it was shown to be correct. The quantum theory is applied to day in science by all scientists, so proof does get accepted by scientists. The fact that UFOs have not been accepted shows the evidence is lacking. So let me reiterate again, governmental agencies and scientists have analyzed the data, they just do not come to the same conclusion as UFO proponents. Regarding a government cover up and the documents that have been released which purportedly prove a government cover up let me say the following. (1) If the government was covering something up, why would they release classified documents that countered their stance. Unless these documents are nothing special and don't amount to evidence for UFOs. Regarding the Youtube videos presented I would like to make the following comments. With respect to the Utah sightings here are some possible explanations other than its a UFO. The film quality is really bad hence it could (a) be just film defects, (b) the objects are very far away and (c) it looks like something, but it could be birds as it was described. (2) Funny how Hayneck only started speaking out once his project (Project Blue Book) was cancelled, some may call this sour grapes. (3)With respect to the Condon report and the head of the report, my opponent states he has a bias. This is not true if anything the head of the Condon report and the other scientists involved were just been skeptics, like every scientist is when studying a new phenomenon they do not understand. I think more credence should be given to these scientists than armchair scientists who already have a bias in favor of rejecting official governmental reports as "its all a cover up". Finally, my opponent has summed up his argument for the evidence of UFOs in three points. Point 1 regarding the possible existence of life on another planet. I agree this is a possibility, and in fact even said so much in my round 2 argument. However, I reject point 2 of the argument as there is not ample scientific evidence to believe the existence of UFOs. Like I have said and I will say again, if it was real scientists would have accepted it by now but they do not. The reason for this is that the evidence is lacking. If point 2 of the case fails then point 3 becomes irrelevant. In closing, every case presented during this debate has a natural rational explanation other than its alien spacecraft. For this reason I think the more rational position to hold on UFOS, is they do not exist. Again thanks to my opponent for a stimulating debate and now over to the voters.
