Again, you are making an assumption about the numbers of both ET and CT, neither of which you have any knowing.

That they are seen regularly over populated areas and sometimes actively engage with aircraft etc shows they don't always mind being seen (no assumption).
This is an assumption. You do not know if these sightings and encounters were accidents or intentional. You do not know the psychology of the non-human-intelligence behind it. So you assume they don't mind being seen or that they wish to remain hidden.

The complications for the entire civilization of hidden cryptoterrestrials are vast compared to a few ET visitors which is why it has to only be considered if the ETH is rendered invalid by the evidence. It isn't.
So, no other theory but the ETH can be considered unless it is rendered invalid by the evidence? Using your own arguments and logic, that makes no sense, as you can form no logical objection to the CTH.

And so it's illegitimate to try to support the crypto-T theory by talking about who would be most likely to care about nuclear installations...
And yet you claim this very thing supports the ETH. You have used motivation and psychology repeatedly. ETs would not mind being seen over nuclear installations by CTs would, or so you claim.
You see my point?

I didn't give a number, however, it is your claim that their civilization is on earth. It has to be a civilization that has been around for many thousands of years to account for the advanced technology required to explain the UFO phenomenon.

They need enough people to sustain this advanced society and produce and maintain their advanced technology...logic dictates it will probably be considerable.

Ah, so they are accidentally hovering over nuclear installations, and accidentally following aircraft staying glued to them off their wingtips and staying with them through evasive maneuvers, and so on?

After all, it is only the fact that many UFO sightings, witness reports, radar contacts, etc cannot be fully explained by human activity and natural phenomena that allows the ETH to be seriously proposed. Only when the ETH fails to explain this phenomena...

I did not talk about why ET's would want to hover over nuclear installations, only that this was reported. I also proved my assertion that stealth was not always their intent, so there is no assumption.

As far as I'm concerned, the idea has been thoroughly refuted - not as a possibility - but as being as reasonable and logical as the ETH.

e would genuinely consider the possibility that a secret people living in his walls came out and messed up his house...

SC plays devil's advocate for a theory he has no respect for whatsoever and pursues it relentlessly into ever more absurd territory, seeing how long I'll fall for it and play the game. LOL

The idea of limiting where et comes from, earth or space, is just that, limiting.
1. It's quite conceivable that the humanoid form is one of the optimum ones.
2. It's quite conceivable that GOD ALMIGHTY engineered it that way.
3. It's more than quite conceivable that folks describe them that way
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE OBSERVE IN THEIR PERSONAL CONTACTS!!!
