A comment on As a US Navy fighter pilot, I witnessed unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). Parent comment
I see this quote often in this thread. It is stated as a fact, with attribution to Carl Sagan. Yet I see no supporting reasoning for this conclusion.
I find it ironic that - in a thread with so much emphasis on evidence - this statement is repeated as if it was gospel.
I ask: why? What is an extraordinary claim? What constitutes extraordinary evidence?
