What are you:
1. talking about?
2. smoking?

Kenny says, No proof means ... well, no proof.
I accept things that highly-educated experts say meet their burden of proof.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.
I never seen adequate proof for UFOs, aliens, gods, magic, karma, the healing effect of crystals/prayers, etc.
Having no legit answer to a question does not mean some warm and fuzzy made-up idea fills that void.
Without adequate proof the only answer to those questions is, I don't know.
That said, still I loves me some sci fi films!![]()
I wonder if our governments would tell us all if they really had discovered evidence that we had been visited by UFO's. I think they would hush it up to avoid scaring the general public half to death
"Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying."
As a woman of science, I refuse to give in to the inflated human ego that we are special and are the only intelligent being in the whole wide multiverse! I also reject the idea that we are smarter and the most advanced being in the whole multiverse, and because we couldn't figure out a way to travel to distant planets at warp-speed, no other civilization could.
Do UFOs exist? Technically speaking, any flying object that one can't identify is a UFO. It can be a bird that took a weird flight pattern, or a firefly, or a spaceship. Do aliens exist? Ofcourse they do. The sheer statistics of number of planets tells us that there is other life out there. Also, if we are the only living beings to ever exist, we are doing a pretty terrible job at making our lives worthwhile! No offense.
We’re also limited by our own understanding and experience of what ‘life’ means. Only a couple of centuries ago humans thought disease was caused by miasma because we didn’t have the technology (microscopes) or scientific understanding to comprehend bacteria and viruses, and they are all over on our skin, in the air we breathe and inside us. Who’s to say the moon isn’t teeming with life but we just don’t have the comprehension or equipment to detect it because it’s different to our own experience of what ‘life’ means on Earth? The idea that, in an infinite universe, life on other planets needs to be recognisable to humans always strikes me as a little arrogant. Life elsewhere might not need water or be organic, carbon-based. Who knows? You can only find what you know to look for!
