Lianachan,

Thanks for your reply and clarification. Sounds like there's much that we agree upon.

I think that the probability arguement is a particularly useful one. People who assert that the high probability that there is other intelligent life elsewhere in the universe makes it highly probable that some UFOs are extraterrestrial visitors often miss the fact that the same variables that make extraterrestrial intelligence highly probable, also make it improbable that they've made their way to our little planet. What that should do is reinforce the need for real, bonafide evidence before anyone concludes that any UFO might be an extraterrestrial visitor.

Regards,
Algorithms
