The word "know". Factual knowledge requires evidence and proof. Since there's still a big U at the beginning of the descriptions (UFO/UAP), I suspect factual knowledge isn't what you mean.
The other way to interpret "know" is as "unshakable belief". This requires no proof or evidence, because it's simply faith. Much the same as belief in karma, fate, or a supreme being. No proof required, or even possible.
If you want me to take what you know as fact, provide evidence. An intact vessel or better yet an actual being would work. Until then, as far as I'm concerned, what you have is belief, not knowledge.
I don't take issue with your belief, it's yours and I'm good with that. Just as is my belief in a supreme being that I call God. I cannot prove God's existence, and I don't need to, because it's not fact-based, it's belief-based.
So until I'm presented with convincing evidence, I'll continue to consider your knowledge as a belief.
