    An oath or legal affirmation can be made if what you’re saying is true and accurate to the best of your own ability and perceptions.

    If you say something under oath with the intent to deceive or omit key information or evidence for any reason really, then this could be considered perjury, which is a crime under most legal systems.

    If you truly believe you saw an alien and were completely convinced of that and testified that you saw one, yet your claim was found to be factually incorrect, you most likely would not be liable for perjury nor did you do anything illegal (in many modern legal systems). You would simply be wrong.

    This could cause you to become an “unreliable witness” which might mean anything else you say or claim is taken with less weight, even in areas you might specialize in. For example, how much would you trust a cardiac surgeon who claimed they had frequent encounters with aliens from outer space?

    Heh, I almost dealt with this yesterday when I cleaned up my room a tad. Everything was scattered on the floor and in order to clean up things better, I had to shuffle everything around until I got everything put back away, albeit imperfectly.

    This is one of those situations where ADHD people need to keep going and find a home for the displaced items, even if it’s back where it was before. In fact, I’d recommend putting everything back either where it was before, or close to it. Maybe just keep like things with like.

    If you’re ADHD, you’re going to forget where you “reorganized” everything to and you’ll end up tearing everything apart looking for that thing you put away yesterday.

    It’s not a perfect answer, but it’s better than leaving everything on the floor…
