And by aliens I mean, outer space creatures and UFO. For whatever reason all UFO sighting footage looks either fake or like recorded with a Casio keyboard. And I find hard to believe we don’t have any decent footage of them with all the surveillance and technology we have now.

    Are you familiar with Fermi’s Paradox? Great Wikipedia rabbit hole to fall down whenever I can’t sleep.

    I think today I like the zoo / star trek hypothesis. There’s advanced aliens out there. They know about us. They are choosing not to interfere. At least not until we reach some technological milestone that may still be beyond our current comprehension.

      Given the vast distances and incredible amounts of technology it would take to even get to those distances I would say if they are here we would never know it even if they were walking amongst us.

      There’s advanced aliens out there. They know about us.

      1. There might be advanced aliens out there, but very likely not within the distance our signals have travelled so far.
      2. They almost certainly don’t know about us, because again, our signals have probably not even reached them.

      If you ask me, Fermi’s paradox is much more likely to overestimate how likely advanced life is. It may be that multicellular life is just extraordinarily rare and that Earth is essentially unique in this aspect, or maybe it has only happened in a few other places. Even then, intelligent life could be another extremely rare occurrence.
