Well no it isn't a good place to start. It's a very poor place to start:

OK, anything you say....lets start from wikipedia...pillock...
Moved on to the ad hominems now I see. Oh dear.

"It is nothing like the same thing as saying they're from another planet."
Show me where Ive said that.

Just as Buzzer can't prove the're from another planet, you can't prove that statement is true either..don't bother trying.

It was meant more of a patronising pat on the head rather than an out and out "ad hominim", apologies for any misunderstanding. I merely meant how can you seriously talk about "argument from authority" then quote wikipedia?

An argument from authority is a recognised logical fallacy. I put the Wikipedia link there so you could read about it and educate yourself. I wouldn't call presenting factual information an argument from authority.

Never mind cherry picking...you know what I meant.
 
Ive just read your link. Fair enough, but, using the same logic, could not the same be said for both sides? Which ironically brings us back to my original post.....see, you didn't read it afterall you silly sausage...

My personal fave-...Although I take issue with his last statement...

“More than 10,000 sightings have been reported, the majority of which cannot be accounted for by any ‘scientific’ explanation, eg that they are hallucinations, the effects of light refraction, meteors, wheels falling from aeroplanes, and the like…. They have been tracked on radar screens… and the observed speeds have been as great as 9,000 mph. I am convinced that these objects do exist and they are not manufactured by any nation on earth. I can therefore see no alternative to accepting the theory that they come from an extraterrestrial source.”

Air Chief Marshall Lord Dowding, Commanding Officer of the RAF during WWII.

One l in Marshal.

He wasn't the commanding officer of the RAF, he was co fighter command until autumn 1940 when he was removed from post. He retired from an admin position in 1942. He believed in Fairies and ghosts and was pretty much discredited as an authoritative source on anything following his claims of ghost fighters taking off from runways in the sky. In the years when he had any access to RADAR it was in it's infancy and no-one would claim it reliable enough to confirm UFOs flying at 9000mph.
