Why are we are getting ramped up over UFOs?

[Shepard]

So we are getting ramped up over this why?

Anyone who works with theories that use unproven variables such as other dimensions, the fabric of space, anti-matter particles etc (which most advanced theories do nowadays), should be able to tell you that UFOs are not beyond the realm of possibility, and are in fact, highly probable, given the "billions and billions and billions" (Sorry, had to say that), nature of how small we are in the scheme of things, and odds of life being out there math, that's been done by various folks. According to that, the odds are VERY GREAT that Aliens do exist. Why we would want to meet them, i do not know, given the danger of meeting a race with more technology than us who's intentions, physical toxicity, mental abilities or any other number of characteristics could possibly eradicate all life on the earth. There's no reason to think that we would have anything in common with them, or any physical, mental or spiritual similarities. What good does it do us if an organization as meaningless in the big picture of the universe as a national government confirms or refutes the existence of UFOs?

This post we moved from the UFO Napster, which is only for links and brief quotes.

First of all, it is important to realize that at most, if they were here, the alleged ETs would be a subset the UFO phenomenon. Reports of phenomena now known to be real, such as ball lightning, earthlights, gaseous fireballs, sprites and similar phenomena, were once tagged as UFO reports. So even if it were true ET could never possibly visit, UFO reports would still be interesting from a scientific point of view. There are almost certainly other unidentified but earthly phenomena waiting to be properly described by science.

The military and intelligence reports linked in the Napster are a most critical component of any review of the UFO phenomenon. The point is to provide a balanced view of the subject from both the official and the unofficial domains.

If ET has been visiting for thousands of years, or if he/she/it showed up tomorrow, I would certainly want to know about.

I understand the fascination and curiosity surrounding the topic of UFOs. It is a natural human tendency to be intrigued by the unknown and to seek answers to questions that challenge our understanding of the world. However, as scientists, it is important to approach this topic with a critical and evidence-based mindset.

Firstly, it is important to clarify that UFOs, or unidentified flying objects, do not necessarily equate to extraterrestrial beings. While it is certainly possible that there is intelligent life beyond Earth, it is not a proven fact. UFOs could be a result of natural phenomena, human-made technology, or even hoaxes.

Furthermore, as scientists, we must also consider the limitations of our current understanding and technology. While the odds may suggest that there is a high probability of extraterrestrial life, it is still just a probability and not a certainty. It is also important to note that our knowledge of the universe is constantly evolving and what we think is impossible today may become possible in the future.

As for the concern about the potential dangers of meeting extraterrestrial beings, it is a valid point. We cannot predict the intentions or capabilities of an alien species, and it is important to approach any potential encounter with caution. However, this should not stop us from exploring and seeking out answers. After all, the pursuit of knowledge and understanding is fundamental to science.

In conclusion, while it is understandable that the topic of UFOs may generate excitement and speculation, it is important for us as scientists to approach it with a rational and evidence-based mindset. We must continue to search for answers and remain open-minded, but also acknowledge the limitations of our current understanding.
