I think it's unlikely that Earth is the only planet supporting life. But for a planet to support intelligent life capable of interstellar travel carrying vehicles capable of flying in our atmosphere, and have those aliens spend the huge amount of time and money to travel over here... They'd have to after something far more valuable that what they seem to be interested in.
- twoozen 5y agoThis is the key point. Most people fail to understand the truly impossible scale of the challenge to travel between the stars. Why would the visitors then make themselves impossible to see or find? The usual response to this is they’ll have some sort of magical way of interstellar travel we don’t understand that makes it not so hard. Meh. Doesn’t ring true. I’ll believe aliens are here when a starship hauls in and parks. And I’ll be very, very concerned at that point about exactly what it is they want.

- rafaelvasco 5y agoFrom what I understand of their motives after reading so much about it from hypnosis sessions and encounter accounts: They're not here to harvest resources, or to take anything from us. At least most of them aren't. They're here to be of Service. They're not like humanity in general, always taking and taking. They only want to Give. Must people don't understand the state of mind in which you want to give more than take. To be of Service to those in need, is their purpose.
