There is a logical explanation for everything. Not knowing what that explanation is doesn't change the fact that it's still logical and most likely has nothing to do with aliens.

Humans and science make decisions based on probability. The probability of aliens ever visiting earth is so insignificant that it can safely be ignored. Much like humans don't go out looking for winning lottery tickets in the middle of the street. And that's despite that chance being a thousand times higher than aliens visiting earth.

 

Is it logical to take the human perspective as a benchmark? Actually, we ourselves have located a number of possible candidates for life outside of our solar systems. In this very narrow time span we do space exploration. We, the product of hot monkey love. To think what other, more advanced forms of consciousness could achieve.

 

I'm not speculating. May it be hoaxes, very strange weather phenomena, aliens, or something else entirely. Personally i think its ignorant to fixate on extraterrestrial biological life traveling in spaceships ala Enterprise and E.T.

Ignoring our current understanding of physics leads nowhere. We can only assess things with our current understanding. Even if we've been visited by aliens in some form we cannot comprehend right now it's still absolutely meaningless. If it cannot fit in our current understanding it might as well have never happened at all.

There are some very smart people in this world pushing our understanding of the universe, but until we make that next leap it's moot for regular people like us to contemplate about what might as well be magic. An alien could be hovering right now above my head but unless I actually understand that there is an alien presence it might as well not be there.

I hope I'm getting my point across, getting a bit philosophical now.
