I use my flying saucer in NC outer banks discussion experience with TIPS.
Rationalism says that this is not true. My empirical experience is I saw
it.
The pictures are not reasonable proof of my experience and can be faked.
My discussion with the aliens on the ship, and the barbecue sandwiches
are not reasonable evidence. My wife's presence and empirical confirmation
is not reasonable evidence.
I also saw a Buick dealership when driving, which is reasonable.
What makes a flying saucer in NC a non-empirical observation. Some noble
victim on TIPS
demanded that I go and look again. Which I agreed to do IF SHE paid for the
trip. I am also willing to go to Florida to see a Giant Mouse called Mickey
if
she pays for it. But Empiricism does not mean that the observer is
required to
observe the event again. Empiricism allows other to see what an honest
observer
reports.
The flying saucer is a small saucer shaped restaurant near Cape Hatteras,
NC.
The aliens were nice beings from New Jersey who did not have green cards and
had retired in NC.
Occasional I have students reporting they also have seen the saucer, and my
students
accuse them of lying or being teacher's pets.
