Not at all, I'd say life, even intelligent life, off Earth is inevitable.

I am saying there is zero evidence of it ever having visited here.

Did that simply to underscore how we'd be able to tell at once if

something that didn't evolve in Earth's biosphere showed up.

Ah, you switch topics. Which is okay as long as you realize you've just

done so. Many equate UFO with Space Alien and that is simply wrong.

There need be no connection whatsoever with an apparent light or machine

seen in the sky which we can't account for, and Space Aliens.

 

By the way, I've seen many UFOs myself, have experienced missing time and

even location shift, etc.

You are presuming here that what you saw was A) actually there and, B) a

craft. Could also have been in your mind, or a model, or projection, or

unoccupied drone, etc.

Bingo. You are saying UFO = ET and I demur. This is neither logic nor

observation, but projection of unwarranted conclusions. We simply lack

the evidence to make this huge leap.

I don't even know what that means. Internal diversity? You mean cockpit

design? What?

Again, a ludicrous leap. How can anyone possibly assert specifics about

beings we have no evidence for whatsoever?

What you're asserting here is the same as saying, " They're magic! "

Keep saying this over and over and you'll see how very right you are.

Best of luck.
