I think i know whats going on w/ this. Stephen denied a fact, because the Fact is that the Government knows that if the World's smartest man says "Yes the do visit us, theyve been here all along" then everyone's eyes would open wide enough to realize that our Governemt has lied to us. I find it surprizing that very few have realized this.
On the other hand, we don't seem to have been visited by aliens. I am discounting the reports of UFOs. Why would they appear only to cranks and weirdos?

This is what you call a very silly statement.
Hawking thinks aliens would be evil and if they have been visiting earth without destroying the whole planet it hurts his Discovery Channel special.
This line is what pseudoskeptics use when they don't have any facts on their side:

So all the policemen, respected pilots and astronauts who see these things are cranks and weirdos? I have saw 3 myself, so I guess I'm a crank and a weirdo lol.
Why discount the reports of U.F.O.'s? U.F.O. means Unidentified Flying Object.

I remember when he said that. Still, i'm pretty sure it was awhile back and things have since changed. Perhaps he was in on something? Im pretty sure that in an infinite Universe, if 1 planet has life, then an INFINITE number of planets have life. I think its rather stubborn to think that ET's haven't been all around this part of the galaxy.

"I discount suggestions that UFO's contain beings from outer space. I think any visits by aliens, would be much more obvious, and probably also, much more unpleasant."
"What is the explanation of why we have not been visited? One possibility is that the argument, about the appearance of life on Earth, is wrong. Maybe the probability of life spontaneously appearing is so low, that Earth is the only planet in the galaxy, or in the observable universe, in which it happened. Another possibility is that there was a reasonable probability of forming self reproducing systems, like cells, but that most of these forms of life did not evolve intelligence."
