Burden of Proof and Denial: UFOs as Modern Folklore in a Skeptical Era

Describing themselves as experienced in climate denial and online misinformation, the speaker argues that the burden of proof lies with the UFO community, describes denial campaigns and persistent spin that seem to prevail despite debunkings, insists extraordinary claims require solid evidence, maintains the UFO phenomenon is folklore akin to Bigfoot or Dracula even as society moves beyond such legends, and frames ongoing discussion as a reluctance to let go of the tale.
