    Even if you don’t believe in “aliens”, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be investigating something we don’t fully understand.

    Good example are whatever was present for the Moroccan earthquake. We don’t understand what they are or what their mechanism is.

    Discounting it as “hurr durr, not aliens” lacks a level of inquisitiveness required for science.

      Yeah, I always argue that the phenomenon is by nature an unknown. And, it is human nature to understand the world and universe around us. Even if these events don’t have any direct impact on humans, sightings are numerous enough that we should strive to understand what’s occurring. A lot of sightings may have mundane causes, but if a few are groundbreaking then it’s been worth our efforts. There’s always so much potential in investigating the unknown.
