Dan Ackroyd is a half decent comedian and actor but he's no astrophysicist 
Cactus - do you actually read any books on the subjects you post about or are you getting all your information from YouTube?

D B Sweeney, Im only throwing these video links out there for people who havent come across them, and I havent been into this too long/small hobby etc...
Im reading whitley strieber communion at the moment.
I have read other general books with lots of cases in them but not in great detail - betty and barney hill, poltergiests etc...
I think some of those videos on youtube are a great watch. |

The more you have, the more you have to lose - I think Dan Akroyd is very credible, and worth listening to, as hes put his reputation on the line coming out with these revelations - especially the bit about the suppression of his UFO documentary.
Thats why I dont have a pic of myself on this website - incase anyone who knows me sees it, and the fear of ridicule.  |

Dan Ackroyd was paid to front that documentary. If someone wants to pay me to do the same I'll take the paycheck gladly. Lot's of reputable people have hokey beliefs - just look at how many high profile movie stars believe in Scientology. Some scientists believe in god despite the overwhelming lack of evidence for his existence.
When your friends ask you if you believe in aliens Cactus and you say 'yes' and they say 'how do you know' and you say 'because I saw it on YouTube' do they ridicule you then?.

Some people have faith.

nobody said he was an astrophysicist - hes just telling about the things he has seen first hand and heard second hand |

He's been paid to say those things Cactus - he might agree with them but there's a paycheck in there.
Second hand testimony is veridically pretty useless and first hand testimony is subject to misperception and errors of recall.

I think your obsessed with faults in memory - i really dont believe its as bad as you think - read more psychology books, instead of faults and flaws in memory - try power/complexity of human mind
scientists believe humans only use 10% of their brain power - when under stressful/strange circumstances they use more |

Absolute rubbish. Do I really need to post the links that refute this very common misconception?.
The problem you seem to have Cactus is you're not reading enough. You seem to rely on YouTube far too much when in reality in order to get a balanced view you need to read the books that advocate aliens/ghosts as a reality and the books that put forward the sceptical/rational/scientific POV.
I've done both and have a 25 year start on you
