A person believe in UFOs and alien and many people mock or laugh at this person. What I personally can't understand, is that many of these people, go to church and believe all about Hell. For me it is the same.
That's just my opinion.

I think the primary difference is that most mainstream religions don't seek scientific or investigative legitimacy. Ufology often does. You don't get demands from churches as to whether that strange row of lights over the city last night was a flight of angels, or priests demanding a laboratory study into the feasibility of transubstantiation, or relic hunters demanding a probe to uncover whether the government is hiding pieces of Noah's Ark in a secret hanger in Nevada. It's usually a matter of personal faith.
There are exceptions, like the goofy Creationist Museum, but they tend to be in the minority.
