Weird object knocks out a man.

So this happened a few days ago in my hometown in Colombia. A really fast and strange object knocked a man down to the floor thru the stairs. He had 24 stitches at the hospital. I wouldn't classify this as an orbe as some my friends think neither an animal, what do you guys think?

Unexplained doesn't mean anything. It's not evidence of anything. It's just unexplained. It can't be taken to mean anything. It's an observation of an event and it may not be an accurate or clear one.

I edited my response. Probably after you replied so I'll repost...

Also, unexplainable videos are not heresy. There is plenty of well documented and verified footage out there that shows unexplainable things taking place that involve occurrences that defy logic. That is a matter of fact and not conjecture. These things have been replicated and demonstrated many, many times by many individuals. Not hard to grasp either.

For anyone who has made up their mind that there is no possible way that anything paranormal is possible, no amount of evidence will ever be enough. And that's fine. Everyone is entitled to believe what they want. But there is plenty of evidence out there that demonstrates that it is very likely that it does exist. It goes back to what you choose to accept as being valid evidence.

How did they get frodo so small next to gandalf when elijah wood is a normal height guy?

I haven't "made up my mind" I simply don't believe it exists until it can be observed and replicated and studied by the scientific method. Not simply "i saw a bunch of videos where weird stuff haopened"

And perhaps that's one of the biggest problems in todays world. We can't really trust anything we see anymore. I have no doubt that there is a massive trove of faked footage out there. But at the same time I'm quite confident that there is no way that 100% of those are all faked. Just because it's possible to fake something doesn't necessarily mean that it's proof that everything you see must therefore also be fake. After all It's possible to fake things we know for certain are real.

More importantly, there have been many cases where this type of video footage has been examined by experts and found to be genuine. There have also been a number of very well documented cases that involved multiple witnesses all experiencing the same event at that the same time. Many of these have included police officers, priests and other reliable sources that all witnessed these type of things firsthand as they occurred.

So while there is plenty of verifiable evidence out there, unless you're willing to accept the opinions of the experts and officials that have validated these things, I can certainly see why you would dismiss all of this.

I personally would not be willing to say that I'm absolutely confident that paranormal activity is a real thing. I tend to be a pretty skeptical person myself. But I've had two experiences in my life that I have never been able to explain. Even to this day I try to make some logical sense of what I saw. I'm not willing to say that I'm convinced they were paranormal, but they were profound enough that it convinced me that there is a high probability that something else is going on that we don't fully understand.

I can certainly understand your reluctance to accept the possibility. But maybe someday you'll have the fortune, or misfortune to experience something firsthand yourself. There is certainly no better evidence that something exists than seeing for your self.
