https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/25/politics/ufo-report-pentagon-odni/index.html US intelligence community releases long-awaited UFO report Washington (CNN) The US intelligence community on Friday released its long-awaited report on what it knows about a series of mysterious flying objects that have been seen moving through restricted military airspace over the last several decades. In short, the answer according to Friday's report is very little, but the fact that the intelligence community released the unclassified document marks one of the first times the US government has publicly acknowledged that these strange aerial sightings by Navy pilots and others are worthy of legitimate scrutiny. The report examined 144 reports of what the government terms "unidentified aerial phenomenon" — only one of which investigators were able to explain by the end of the study. Investigators found no evidence that the sightings represented either extraterrestrial life or a major technological advancement by a foreign adversary like Russia or China. "Of the 144 reports we are dealing with here, we have no clear indications that there is any non-terrestrial explanation for them — but we will go wherever the data takes us," a senior US official said...............
There's probably no life in the Universe other than us, which means Mars is a highly unlikely candidate.
A shiny worthless object tossed out to distract the masses from the slaughter being conducted worldwide.
In other words someone saw something they don't know what it is but some people will jump to the least likely conclusion based on no evidence.
I learned to play banjo just so I can protect myself from an alien invasion....banjo music makes their head explode I've heard
A scientist like you knows how incredibly big the universe is. Unfathomably big. The odds are great that it is teeming with life.
You're both right, in that it seems very likely that there is life other than us, but given what we've observed, alien life that has achieved interstellar travel might not exist. After all, we're well on the way to exterminating ourselves without achieving it, so maybe that's just a flaw of all life.
Like the joke says...Is there intelligent life out there? Well, I look around at this planet and I'm not even sure there's intelligent life HERE.
Some think the UFOs are not from space but from here on earth....subterranean or under the ocean creatures who pop up and check things out from time to time...the idea that humans are intelligent enough to identify them is suspect though...references to them go back to the Mayans, Egyptians and Toltecs
I remember you saying this at a meet, but I'd love to see a more detailed breakdown of why you believe this. There are more stars than there are grains of sand on every beach on planet earth. That seems like a lot of opportunities for life...
I did a back of the envelope calculation and came up with extremely unlikely. Everything has to be perfect and exactly Earth like. Now, it's turning out they can't find a single exoplanet that even comes anywhere close. Too many things have to line up just right.
