Some of us have seen UFOs - I've had a close encounter of the 2nd kind way back in 1979. Interestingly, I was talking to a friend a few years ago on MSN and told her about it and she went away for a few minutes. She'd googled it and found several pages which referenced other people seeing UFOs in the area that I lived, in that year, at that time of the year, at that time of the night. Said pages were completely unknown to me and I was quite surprised to say the least. edit: Oh, and the descriptions from people matched what I'd seen.
For many years afterwards, nothing would grow in that area - it was just a large patch of dirt. Trees planted in that area would die, grass wouldn't catch on. Everywhere else along that area was OK, just that area. Co-incidence? It took over 20 years before grass started to grow there again. After seeing what I saw, I started getting interested in the paranormal, and several books that I bought in my early teens described the very craft that I'd seen, so accurately it wasn't funny.
I've thought about retro hypnotherapy, but can't be bothered. I'm quietly convinced of what I saw. Oh, and my father saw it as well, he just won't admit it - it's to do with his age, anything like that just doesn't exist, no matter what you see/hear/smell/feel.
I ain't no crackpot, and I didn't drink as a ten year old, nor did I smoke pot. It wasn't late at night, and I wasn't dreamy or sleepy. It wasn't a mirage either. Being 14' or so away from it, one is close enough to realise it's tangible.
The odds of alien life are incredibly high - I think we're going to increasingly find that most stars have planetary systems, and most of them have terrestial planets too, with a good percentage having planets around stable stars in the life zone. It might not be carbon based life, but where there's life, there'll be intelligence. Nature on Earth has shown how things have evolved, and nature is nature, no matter what planet we're looking at. It's smart, it's adaptive and ever changing.
Humans think we're such know it alls, but we really know very little. Hell, our most powerful computers still have massive problems with wind and ocean currents. We still can't figure out how Quantum physics and Relativistic physics fit in. Dark matter? We know it's there, due to its gravitational influence in visible matter, but why does it exist, how does it get created, what happens to it, how does it interact with normal matter, etc etc are all questions that we have no idea about.
