16. Exactly, and the number of "sightings" is not related to the odds of extraterrestrial life forms.

In my opinion, based on probability coupled with the belief that "gods" are nonsense, the existence of intelligent life beyond our planet is almost certain. That does not mean that they have visited here. I also believe that if an intelligent species wanted to visit Earth without being detected, it would be easier than breaking our current understanding of the laws of physics.

For all practical purposes, there is a nearly infinite number of worlds capable of supporting some kind of life; the odds of only one chemical accident, that resulted in self-replicating "life," is just unimaginable.

I do believe that honest people have seen things that they don't understand, but Unidentified means what it says, nothing more or less.
