No doubt. But both men, while being both imaginative and at times mystical, were rational men. They did not take fairy tales seriously and would not subject themselves to nonsense. Rational people behave in a similar manner. Would love to canvass the Chairpersons of the Department of Physics from America’s 25 best universities and ask if any of them would state that UFOs are mechanical and biological entities originating from 50 to 100 light years away.

I was thinking the same. Great leaps in knowledge usually come from university research labs, and not from the government. So I’m guessing an astrophysicist would just love to publish a paper proving the existence of alien visitation. Then it’s Nobel Prize time.
That no paper has been published says something, to me at least.
Rather than extrapolate from limited data, let’s see what this guy can add to the body of public knowledge, eh?
“Would love to canvass the Chairpersons of the Department of Physics from America’s 25 best universities and ask if any of them would state that UFOs are mechanical and biological entities originating from 50 to 100 light years away.”
I mean, from what we currently understand about physics, that would seem to be the absolute least likely scenario. It’s more probable that some unknown tribe in the Amazon independently invented space travel than that these are from outside the solar system.
