Most skeptics believe that UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) exist. They simply believe that with more information they would be identified as earth made aircraft or possibly weather phenomena. The issue is are they alien space craft or even unexplained objects or phenomena. Maybe ask how they would go about trying to study UFOs.
I think the most interesting cases to study would be abduction cases, especially if happened consistently.
Sleep paralysis has explained some of these cases but not all of them. Also medical evidence (like implants) might be promising. These are usually associated with UFO's in some way.
The down side is I realy think it would the resources of NASA or at least SETI to conduct a proper study of UFOs.

You accept their skepticism and then agree to disagree. If you want some of the best UFO cases to study there are several that are hard to deny.
Socorro is famous as the site of a well-publicized UFO incident. On April 24, 1964 Lonnie Zamora, a local policeman, was chasing a speeder on Socorro's outskirts when he claimed he saw a bright flash and heard a loud roar coming from over a nearby hill. Believing that the noise may have come from the explosion of a dynamite shack, Zamora drove over the hill. He claimed he saw a metallic, oval-shaped object with a strange symbol on it. He also claimed to see two "small men" in what looked like "white coveralls" walking around outside the craft. When they saw Zamora, the "men" boarded the craft and it took off with a load roar and flame that shook Zamora's patrol car. (The UFO Book, ppgs.545-546)
Zamora called for help on his radio. Sergeant M.S. Chavez of the New Mexico State Police soon arrived on the scene. Chavez later said that Zamora looked "terrified", that some nearby bushes had been badly burned, and that strange scoop marks were in the ground. Project Blue Book, the US Air Force's official study of the UFO mystery, sent investigators to Socorro. They interviewed Zamora and Chavez, and also checked the supposed landing site. Project Blue Book's supervisor, Captain Hector Quintanilla, later wrote that "there is no doubt that Lonnie Zamora saw an object which left quite an impression on him. There is no question about Zamora's reliability." (UFO Book, p.554) However, two prominent UFO skeptics both offered various explanations for Zamora's sighting. Dr. Donald Menzel offered two explanations: that Zamora had been the victim of an elaborate prank by local teenagers, or that Zamora had actually seen a dust devil. Philip Klass, the editor of Aviation Week magazine, would claim that Zamora and Socorro's then-mayor had hoaxed the event to bring tourists to Socorro. UFO researchers have disputed each of these explanations. (UFO Book, p.555)

If you look at the words rather than the letters.....unidentified flying object.... then if it's flying and you don't know what it is, it's a UFO!
The ufologists' should check out the activity over the south downs..... lots of lights flying in odd patterns and interracting with each other before disappearing. We also have the odd crop circle too!

Well I am not sure about interesting cases. But to those who do not believe. Believing for some requires proof just like believing in a God.
Difference here is Many have seen the unexplained with many others at the same time. As someone else stated why try to convert them. You do or you don't.
Does not really change any ones life either way, (Unless of course they get abducted).

That seeing is believing and that i'd only believe it myself if i saw it myself! And i'd say the most interesting case studies would be those that persistantly fail to find any known explanation (UFO does actually mean an object that is unidenitfyable after all and not a flying saucer from outer space!)

Not sure about interesting cases to study....but on a different note, skeptics need to realise that out of all the planets there are....so very many we've yet to discover, we are not so special, we are not the only ones...even if they believe in Creation and not Evolution

Truly skeptical people will not believe until they see proof for themselves, but because they DON'T believe, it's highly likely that even if a spaceship appeared in the sky above them in plain view, they would NOT see it. Don't try to convince people of weird things, it's NOT worth the effort. Besides, people who do NOT believe in UFOs or ETs are in the minority now.

XD that was dumb but when my mom met my fater he didn't have anyfamily or anthing ometimes he would tell her thta he was an alien and then one day he randomly left. all his stuff was at the house to. i guess he could be an alien form when i was told he was small very hair with a beard hairy arms and all that and had firzzy brown hair and big feet. Yep sound like an alien to me. BTW I belive in aliens. i don't really have proff other then my father but i can feel it. all those skeptics out there are stupid and can suck my balls for all i care.XD

Ask them something like.
"If you have not experienced a UFO why should you accept they exist?"
The most interesting cases are your own experiences. If you're only experience in this matter is your belief then that is the most worthwhile study of all.

they don't believe in ufo because they never seen it. all they need is proof. so u can start to collect photo, news, etc about ufo witnesses.
i have seen a photo of a baby alien and news(old news paper) about baby alien in somewhere in or near mexico(maybe rosswell). and they say that the baby already become 7-10year kid( i don't really remember the news). but they raised the baby secretly in a cave with a nurse and the cave is in the forbidden area/zone.
they say government know about it but keep it as secret,for the alien safety, and place the cave as forbidden area.
