Another way to understand this question goes to the origin of genetics.

Atheist darwinists will argue that genetics come from random selection but the more sophisticated of them will say yeah—genetics are too complicated so they likely came from space aliens or were seeded by space aliens.

(to which everyone else argues—great where did the space aliens get their genetics from. the space alien argement merely pushes conception back in time. Similarly, the multiverse people get around the universe people by creating from nothing the multiverse—in which case the question becomes great—who made the multiverse?)

in the end neither the origins of the universe or the origins of life are known or understood except that they come from the uncaused first cause God.

But who knows. Space aliens and their God may yet be out there.

We are at the dawn of a new age.

Something about like the days in the dream time when the first Austrailians followed the coastline of India and Sunda Land and crossed into Australia. Or when when Modern humans first pushed into Eurasia. Or When Siberians crossed the Bering land bridge. Or when the early Taiwanese started island hopping all the way to Hawaii and even touched ground in the new world. Or when Columbus sailed to the New World.

We are finally coming to it.

Space, the final frontier.

Mr. Fermi was, like most, overestimating Earth's place in a universe so vast we still can't determine it's size. If Einstein was correct about the limitations of speed then the only civilizations able to reach us must possess technology that somehow overcomes the laws of physics as we know them:

They'd be way, way smarter than us.

So smart that we may be TOO well known and are regarded as a backwater laughing stock of primitives surely on the way to self-destruction.

UFOs may be their equivalent of juvenile delinquents joy-riding here through some dimensional means for a hoot.

Or they may be 'end signs' as described (so vaguely) in scriptures. Maybe we're wasting money on insurance.

I DO believe that our Vice President, usually the nominal head of NASA, should have as much factual information on these matters than nearly anyone else. Openly postulating like that when records are finally being opened proving these incidents are real makes him look incompetent.
