Yep, and I believe they saw something. I don't believe it came
from another planet, but if enough people say they saw something,
then I believe they did.
Here's the difference: They saw something, but with no explanation
of what it was so they filled in the blanks with their own imagination.
If they had been communicated with by the "aliens" and told where
they came from, there's no way to corroborate that. They can claim
to be from Beta Reticuli (or whatever that place was called), and
there's no way to prove it. Jesus, on the other hand, proved what
He said by doing what He said He would do.
The aliens are a whole different conversation - which I'm happy
to have. :-)
