Week 9: Discussion Question #2

UFO’s is a very debatable subject because there is no actual answer to whether they are real or not. Condon believed there was no such thing as UFO’s due to the lack of evidence. He believes we should focus more of our time on scientific advancements and to only pursue UFO research, if there is evidence to prove their existence. Hynek believes that UFO’s exist in our world. He wants people who have witnessed a UFO to come forward and describe their experience. Hynek feels we need to gather data on this subject matter because he truly believes there is extraterrestrial life out there other than humans. Lastly, Paynter does not believe in the existence of UFO’s. He feels there is not enough physical evidence to prove they exist in our world. Until the day he sees a UFO or there is enough evidence of it, he will continue on believing they do not exist. I believe Paynter has the best argument because without proof, we can all say whatever we want about the situation, but with proof, there is an absolute answer.
