- The biggest argument used against UFO's and aliens is that
- we are so far from any other planets. We cannot even see other
- planets for sure. Of course, we think that all main sequence stars
- should have planets. But no proof.
-
- What if we lived closer to the center of our galaxy? There
- would be many stars within a light-year or so. With our current
- technology, I'll bet we could see proof of other planets all around.
- What is the first thing we do when investigating other bodies? (Planets
- I mean :) We send a probe. If we lived amidst many other planets, we
- might even detect atmospheres. Any oxygen planet would be of special
- interest.
- Perhaps the vast majority of UFO sightings are due to unmanned
- probes sent out long ago. Any probe finding an oxygen planet (therefore
- life as we know it) would send back data. Eventually someone might
- come see, probably a stuffy old anthropologist or something. That
- explains why we haven't seen them yet. They're shy.
