I have considered this whole matter of UFOs. When the government simply said that they do not and cannot engineer a UFO type craft, the entire
Alien/UFO community simply believes that. As a child, I recall Carl Sagan's Cosmos serial, and him discussing The Drake Equation. As most people were
at the time, he was obsessed with Nuclear War destroying any species capable also of creating a radio telescope. Given that simple estimate, he came
up with 10 planets in our whole galaxy that would be supporting intelligent life. I disagree with that. By our definition of intelligent life, or any
kind of physical life form, I would say that we are completely Alone. Expanding the Drake Equation from simple nuclear weapons on one hand, and a
radio telescope on the other, a species has many more options of destroying themselves. Consider also that at approximately the same time they develop
something as destructive as nuclear weapons, they also develop some means to customize their own evolution like Genetic Engineering. Once they do,
that species, if it does not destroy itself, will evolve at an incredible pace so soon, it would not resemble anything like what it was. The very
probable reality is that in the past somewhere in space, there were beings that resembled us like the proverbial ETs so many believe in, but they
never have lasted very long. Physical beings like us evolved for a specific planet are just not adaptable at all for any lengthy space voyage. By the
time they could get a spacecraft to reach another solar system, with the provision they did not destroy themselves first, they would have evolved past
such primitive spacecraft. Anything that would be Alien and better than us would likely have evolved rapidly into an Energy Being.
