Reply to comment by UndesiredEffect in UFO reports rise to 510, not aliens but still a threat to US by stevemilk

Lol at people who speculate about the fermi paradox and not the drake equation.

If they're out there, they're not our neighbors. The chances that they're out there are incredibly high. The chances that any of them are close enough to communicate much less would want to are incredibly low.

People underestimate just how slow FTL travel even is compared to the scale of the universe.

There's a lot of theories about warping space time as opposed to going really fast. Idk how anyone can be so assured that an unknown society of unknown ability couldn't possibly get here, or that the chances are low. Our technology in modern times is increasing exponentially in many areas and thats just taking into account the last 150 years.

How about a race 20000 years past where we are at?

Speculate all you want about a type 3 civilization, you're only proving you belong to a type -1 civilization tho

Why be so defensive? I'm just saying keep an open mind since we still don't know a lot about things beyond earth.

you ever heard the expression, keep an open mind, but not so open that your brain falls out?
