I'm a very skeptical person. I question everything on Facebook that I read. I question if that photo of Ryan Reynolds holding a goat and a monkey is real or AI. I question that Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster exist. Skeptical should be my middle name.

I came across a story on the interwebs recently that made me question the story. Maybe you'll question it too.

In 1976 brothers Jack Weiner and Jim Weiner along with Chuck Rak, and Charlie Foltz, went for a two-week camping trip in the Allagash Wilderness, in Northern Maine. They claimed that while they were out on the lake in their boat at night, they saw a bright light that appeared to be shining down on them like a spotlight, following them on the water and then quickly disappeared.

Two days later they went back out on their boat and the light returned. They started to return to the shore, but all four said they didn't remember getting back to the shore, but there they were, disoriented and confused.

Twelve years later in 1988, two of the men started to have nightmares about their alleged abduction. All four of them said that they were taken up to the UFO, and were forced by aliens to strip down for an examination and have samples of their skin and bodily fluids taken by the aliens.

In 2013, Jim Weiner and Charlie Foltz were interviewed by Matt Burns of the The Portland Press Herald about their abduction.

I'm very skeptical about this story and quite frankly, don't believe them. But if anyone is an expert on this sort of thing it's Neil deGrasse Tyson. When asked if he thinks aliens are visiting Earth he said "If aliens were visiting Earth, there would be more evidence than just crop circles."

He went on to say that with the availability of smartphones with cameras, if aliens show up on Earth, the evidence would be out there.

Sorry guys. I'm not buying it.
