It's just a shame that many make the giant leap from an UNIDENTIFIED Flying Object to one that they IDENTIFY as an extraterrestrial intelligently controlled object.
It's not a shame, it's human nature.
However, I wasn't referring to those types. I was referring to trained, credible professionals such as air traffic controllers, pilots, cops, doctors engineers etc...
Please ping me when you decide to be a bit clearer about whatever point you were trying to make.
My pleasure RS. If you will bring you're attention to my first post above, you will note it says, "No doubt, more qualified than you have seen objects that have not or cannot be identified." I did *not* say or even imply that these credible individuals IDENTIFIED these objects as extraterrestrial intelligently controlled objects.
I only stated that these individuals are more qualified to distinguish an identifiable object and are more qualified than most to say that the object they observed was not identifiable. For example, I feel that a professional air traffic controller that watches aircraft for a living, is probably more qualified than most to say that what they saw flying was unidentifiable or not. I never suggested that they were more qualified to determine if these objects were extraterrestrial intelligently controlled objects.
It's a large leap to go from there "must be" other life to that other life visiting here.
Again, my statement above didn't say anything about visiting this planet.
To set you straight, and for the record, I do believe there is a good chance of life outside of earth, and yes, there is a chance that this planet could have been visited at some point in it's history, but due to the lack of hard evidence, I would say that it's very unlikely. But I will not say it has never happened, as I have no proof of that either.
