    UFO’s in general… What is there not to believe?

    “Sir, there is a flying object… We can’t identity it”

    “You fucking liar, you CAN identify it. You know EXACTLY what it fucking is, you’re just not fucking telling me, you dick”

    But even if you accept the premise that the only explanation is if you can’t identity it, it MUST be of alien origin, in star trek that’s just another Tuesday.

    Imagine Worf, saying to Sisko “nah I don’t believe in alien life”.

    “Mr. Worf, surely you’re aware I am not a Klingon; that you interact daily with life alien to Qo’noS?”

    “Nah. Don’t think so. Really don’t think so.”

    Edit: has star trek ever explored the concept of a people who refuse to really “believe” in aliens?

    Ernie Hudson’s character Winston Zeddmore was originally written as a former air force officer specialized in demolition and martial arts - an equal member of the cast with expertise. In order to give Bill Murray more screen time his part was pared down over and over. To add insult to injury, when the cartoon came around, Ernie Hudson tried out for the part but the production company went with arsenio hall instead. He tried out for his own role, and lost to a talk show host.

    Dukat: Are you a god?
    Kai Winn: No.
    Dukat: Then… die!
    [Kai is consumed by flames]
    Sisko: Kai, when someone asks you if you’re a god, you say “yes”!

    The modern motto to get people to say or do anything! …

    ‘How much money are you going to pay me? … oh that much! … I’ll believe anything you want me to believe!’
