The UFO people. No one has yet produced any credible evidence. No one has produced an alient body. No one has produced a worked piece of metal that has no equal elsewhere in the world. No one has found DNA samples that are bio-chemical but don't match our DNA or better yet, don't show any known DNA at all, yet are bio-chemical.
