chinese lantins?

our dedicated area for UFO SIGHTINGS is there for members who have actually SEEN with their own eyes a UFO

can I please ask members to show a little RESPECT and faith, in what they read in this dedicated area

it is specifically ONLY for people who have actually witnessed a UFO themselves

therefore I believe we OWE THEM a degree of credibility

PLEASE DO NOT ADD REPLIES TO SUCH ACCOUNTS with "chinese lantins?"

or "had you been drinking?"

or "it was military aircraft"

putting down such people, is completely contrary to what this site is here for

we are here primarily to record eye witness testimony of any UFO Sighting

our full aims are listed here

While I agree we should give them the benifit of doubt, we also have to acknowledge that more than 75% of sightening can and are explained.

It is all part of been a forum that we discuss what is posted.

[falkor]

we have something like a dozen areas on this site

the one area I am talking about is ONLY for eye witness reports

I am asking members, just for that one area, to conduct themselves with RESTRAINT

please show respect to members who log reports in that area - do not jump straight in with "CHINESE LANTERNS?" are you nuts? were you pissed? or any other ridiculing comments

I would like your support in this matter please

Fair point and well put.

We do need to encourage members to be able to post any unexplained sightings without fear of been ridiculed.

I will behave
