9. Where is Everybody...Really?

A blogger explores some possibilities.

http://www.duntemann.com/fermiqsn.htm

They're Already Here.
We're All There Is.
Everybody Blows Up Before They Grows Up.
We're Still In A Protected Wilderness Area.
Everybody Gets Absorbed Into The Overmind Before They Visit.
The Fun Is All In The Fourth Dimension.
We're Psi-Challenged From Birth.
The Bus Doesn't Stop Here.
Bruno's Coming To Break Our Kneecaps
Now That I Can Have It I Don't Want It.

So...What Do You Think?

~~

My favorites in the list are We’re All There Is, Everybody Blows Up Before They Grows Up and The Bus Doesn’t Stop Here. I would add one called The Bus Can’t Get Here.

I think there’s only a slim chance that any UFOs are ET spacecraft.
