Sometimes they just aren't ready. To hear the truth. Or accept the experience when it belongs to someone else. There is no idea to try to convince anyone, nor does that usually drop in anyone's mind, from the ufological point of view. The other way it is more common. To try to make the "believer" or experiencer to believe that what he or she believes or thinks to be real, is not really real but a consequence of a certain personality trait. Of gullibility. Of wishful thinking.

No matter what you say, you can't convince them. Nor should you. Nor need you to. There is a time for truth for everyone, in each individual time and manner. We are bound to hit blind spots and juxtapositions with any theme, also this one. It is in a way similar to discussing religious beliefs, where the discussion can become quite heated when each is defending one's own stand..
.
But ufology is no religion. It is not necessarily even a belief system, but a wide-ranging study of certain phenomena. And cognisance based on facts and knowledge, and mathematical deduction. On logic really. A witness to a close encounter of any kind - let alone to a far away sighting - does not usually become a fanatic, but rather more humble in the face of existence.
.
Skeptics on the other hand are usually quite far from such humbleness, and much closer to arrogance. As if any individual person's opinion would really matter when it comes to truth. It is what it is despite us humans. Where each of us is on one's individual path of knowledge and truth is so wide and varied that it ill behooves any of us to speak badly of those who least of all pretend to know but simply accept the fact that we do not know everything.

Far better to agree to disagree - until we all know.
