Re: UFO hunters
I had a girl friend once who was definitely from outer space, or was that spaced out. Although it didn't matter at the time.
The thing about alien visitations is the distance that needs to be covered. The nearest star to us is 4.2 light years away (that's about 24,690,226,567,371.152 miles a mere 24+ trillion miles) and I believe a tertiary system that probably would not support a very stable planetary system.
Now I know people muse about worm holes, warp drive, and the such, but for these modes of travel to exist, would one not have seen some natural visitor, like a big rock or such? After all, all the things we have now are things that existed in our world, just in different forms of usage. I guess if all of a sudden something mysteriously disappeared like a mountain or building, poof gone, then I would be a believer.
The other thing that makes me a skeptic is the question, "How did they us?" Some would say from our radio broadcasts. Somewhere out there you could conceivably pick up the original reading of "War of the Worlds" with Orson Wells. (probably not due to the frequency he broadcast on), but surely the beamed RF we use to up link with satellites is still going into the void and could be detected if you wanted to, and were in the right place and time, but this was after Roswell.
Also the idea of an intelligent life form traveling so far, only to stay a short time, and then with no meaningful context seems a long shot to me. Well maybe not, I guess it could sort of been like when my ex-mother-in-law would visit.
Anyway for now, I am content to watch reruns of SciFi movies and say "if only"
Oh, I have no doubt there are terrestrial UFOs so I will leave it at that.
