Not true, a lot of debunking starts the moment somebody mentions "I saw a flying saucer"
And in those cases they're giving the claim more credibility than it ever deserved, often to the point of steelmanning the initial claim only to tear down the steel-manned version.

Not even sure what that means?

Right, so if you experience a phenomena where you are confronted with something that isn't technically supposed to exist you tell yourself "ok occam's razor, what I am look at is probably swamp gas, but...it doesn't look like swamp gas?" :Wait, what if I report I saw a flying disc that's moving from upper atmosphere to ground level in a split second, no I better not, I will be told 100% I was imagining it. Yes, putting my head in the sand seems like the most sensible thing to do.

I wouldn't insist it must be aliens or angels until other, more plausible explanations have been ruled out.

Just yesterday, I came into contact with a niche culture called tulpa.
Practitioners believe that tulpa are able to communicate with their hosts in ways that they believe do not stem from their own thoughts.
Frankly, it looks like a form of learned schizophrenia, although these people don't like that description.
I had half a mind to practice it, but considering it's irreversible, I gave up.
