    So…

    It doesn’t prove anything, but he keeps saying it does?

    I don’t know why I expected any consistent logic. Having “proof” that doesn’t prove anything is pretty standard for ufo enthusiasts.

    Gotta set a pretty low bar these since it’s easy to disprove this shit.

    I’ll let you get back to it, I heard Walmart has a sale on Reynolds wrap, so I’m sure you’ve got to going with your day

      Link to all these instances in which Avi Loeb claims definitively this is proof of aliens. Not where he says it “suggests” but where you claim he definitely states it’s proof.

      Let’s see it. Put up, or shut up.

        But this isn’t productive, the only reason I replied again after saying I was done is conspiracy nutjobs love waiting till then (when they’re likely blocked) and demanding sources so they can claim no response means they’re right…

        Which is the terrible terrible logic of someone that believes aliens are coming to Earth in secret

          For anyone who may see that link but not click it, Avi Loeb does not state this is proof.

          I’m not a conspiracy nut job. If you had said from the beginning his publicity-seeking can hinder or complicate things, that would be different. But that’s not what you claimed. You made repeated false claims here.

          I asked you for links because you were making erroneous claims and misquoting him; not because I’m a conspiracy theorist.
