Mind-blowing hearing this morning. I am in tears. We are not alone. This is historic and humbling![/quote]

Holy crap. The CBS article in particular goes into a lot of detail.

I’ve always thought the probability is that we aren’t alone. But I subscribe to Stephen Hawking’s view, which was that the distance any intelligent life forms would have to travel to reach us is so vast that in order to get here, they’d have to use technology that is massively more advanced than what we have. As such, we’d be at their mercy.

So his view was that it’s foolish for us to advertise our existence because we’re basically extremely simple life forms.[/quote]

Probably the best thing we have going for us is that our sun is one of about 400 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, and since it is so vast, visiting all of the different planets and systems requires traveling at relativistic speeds.  So the probability that an advanced alien species might be flying by our planet [i]right now[/i] is very low.[/quote]
[b]That implies that they just kind of point and shoot themselves aimlessly. [/b]

There have been several alleged UFO/alien encounters that are credible. It is well possible that “NHI” have been here and might even be here, cloaked or blending or whatever. [/quote]

I have no doubt that any alien species that could get to Earth would know exactly which  planets had the potential for life.  So they would know where they were going.  I just don’t think that Earth would be more interesting than any other planet with life.  (And there are probably a lot of them very far apart.) So they wouldn’t have any compelling reason to stick around or return again and again.[/quote]
