My theory on aliens, fwiw.

Humans are likely the most, or among the most advanced creatures in the universe, and that's frankly.....sad. BUT, the universe is estimated at 13.7 billion years old. Life has been on Earth for 3.5 billion years. The first "thing" humans sent into space that could possibly let anyone know we are here, happened in 1936. Since then we've sent billions of signals into deep space. And walked on the moon.

Ok, so it took 3.5 billion years for a planet uniquely adapted for life, to send a radio signal. ANY advanced aliens, at or above humans, would assuredly go through at least a period of sending radio signals. Yet we have heard none, and we've been looking VERY hard.

I completely believe there is life out there. Maybe some even close to humans, but the odds of life forms higher than humans is very very very very slim. Like zero. And even if they got to the point they were beyond humans, they would still have sent out some radio signals.

If it was common there would be a billion civilizations more advanced than

Humans at any given time. It's exceedingly rare. Maybe we're the first or others are so far away we'd not heard their radio waves for another 3 billion years. But again as it stands now... It's rare,arpund here.

Also, any creature capable of traveling to us would not use a craft. They would have to travel through demensions and time. Not in a linear manner. There are hundreds of stars and thousands of planets within the 90 year range where we've been listening to radio waves. So you're at over 90 light years.

I've always thought a true scfi movie wouldn't have humans or aliens driving ships. It would likely be a movie more similar to Jumper. There would be no "paths" to cross.

UFOs are man made and/or a natural phenomenon. It amazes me. The military is always somehow involved. A secret military base hides human things not aliens. They're more than happy to have idiots thinking the sightings near secret military bases are aliens. Heck it's the standard excuse used I imagine. We don't want the chicoms or Russians to know so we call it a UFO and let the nuts run with that.
