Long story short: can you prove the existence of some intelligent extraterrestrial form of life?

The short answer is no, I can't prove that extraterrestrial or extra dimensional beings exist and I never claimed that I could.
Just like I can't prove quantum loop gravity, parallel universes, black hole computers and gravity exists but I can come to a logical conclusion based on the evidence that's not restricted by a subjective view of a "natural explanation."

However there is nothing in the field of UFO study yet that suggest terrestrial explanation is 10 percent ot of the question. nothing has popped out and said "aha! it must be aliens!~there is no other way!"

I think a good skeptical question would be...."Can it be proven that ET life/UFO's do NOT exsist?"

WRONG!
You're suggesting that the burden of proof lays on the 'skeptic' and not the person spinning the tale! You're in essence asking someone to disprove something put into an unfalsifiable context.
Your logic is flawed.

WRONG! I submit your logic to be wrong. If a skeptic is insistant on demanding proof, then the reverse is also demanded of the opposite side of the subject...ie the skeptic has to also provide evidence/proof of their conclusion..as does the believer provide evidence/proof.
You are saying that a skepitc does not have to prove anything but be skeptical of everything. That is so lopsided its not even funny.
Flawed logic.
Cheers!!!!
