Many times, events involving extraterrestrial encounters between multiple witnesses send skeptics off the deep end, as they find themselves scrambling to invent explanations to satisfy the false narrative they've come to live by. To that end, they'll use forms of projection to fulfill these needs. For example, skeptics will charge that mass hysteria caused multiple witnesses to encounter UFOs and/or extraterrestrials when in reality mass hysteria is what's driving skeptics to reach a phony explanation.
