You just don't know what it would be. That's ok. Thank you.

Woah, calm down. I'm not attacking you or forcing anything. Please relax.
I'm just asking.., seeing as you speak with such authority on the subject.., what YOU would consider.
Its okay if you don't know.., it means you are starting to see my point.
What evidence are we expecting witnesses to collect? (including yourself in a hypothetical situation).

Thank you for your answer.
Images, and statements are all witnesses can provide.
Cito di Pense wrote:Nope. Testimony is anecdote, and images are inconclusive, unless you re-define evidence.
You are the one redefining it would seem.
anecdote: a short amusing or interesting story about a real incident or person.
testimony: a formal written or spoken statement, especially one given in a court of law.
Images are used in science all the time (NASA? Weather? Photos of atoms? Electron microscope images?
In law, testimony and images are quite valued forms of evidence.

So in short, if you saw a UFO right now.., all you could provide are images and statements.
Thank you.

Its amazing that there's only 4 types of evidence.
Images and statements are PROOF. Just EVIDENCE.
We need better EVIDENCE., but there isn't any.
The next step up (alien body, ET craft) would be considered PROOF
