The assertion that there is intelligent life elsewhere is often conflated with UFOs being evidence of such life. The assertion of a high probability of intelligent life existing elsewhere is reasonable. The presence of testimony is not evidence. People report things for many reasons.

One day, we ourselves may advance our own intelligence sufficiently to achieve civilisation.
