> We knew the government pushed UFO nonsense to obscure development programs. One of the most frustrating things about UFO propaganda is that it's caused a severe lack of understanding in physics AND astronomy. There absolutely is intelligent life out there, but the chance of any lifeforms figuring out the practically zero option solutions to the problems of interstellar travel might as well be... well, zero. e.g., If we ever crack nuclear fusion and somehow through future magic manage to make that small enough to fit on a ship for energy, a ship traveling fast enough through space for the long, long, long journey to reach another star system colliding with a small rock would produce enough energy via collision to blow up the ship. That's only the tip top of the iceberg for interstellar travel problems.
