I do NOT believe....

that UFO's are terrestrial based. There is too much evidence against this and the science does not support physical beings traveling billions of miles to earth. I believe the phenomenon is dimensionally based. Moreover, their behavior in how they have interacted with the human race over the centuries is closer to malevolence than to "scientific observation". While I enjoy the show, I believe Bill's position that these are terrestrial beings misleads the true nature of what these are and what their true intent is.

Considering the thousands of sightings of nuts and bolts craft by very reliable people, I would state that the Extraterrestrial Hypothesis would fit most of the cases. There are other cases where other dimensions or supernatural reasons may be the case (orbs).

Just because humans cannot go faster the light or have not found a way to traverse the galaxy does not mean the beings who could be thousands, millions and possibly billions of years ahead of us cannot do so.

I would say that given the varied types of accounts, beings, experiences and so on -- there are probably multiple explanations. Likely all theories have some truth.

the probability for extraterrestrial intelligent life from a naturalistic perspective is much less than 10500 + 22 -1054 -100,000,000,000 -24,000,000. That is, it is less than 10-100,024,000,532. In longhand notation it would be 0.00 … 001 with 100,024,000,531 zeros between the decimal point and the 1. In other words, the probability of "another" planet supporting carbon based life in the universe is as close to zero as any scientifically determined probability has ever been.

I don't see that it really matters whether they are extraterrestrial or dimensional, they are still not of this earth. However, given how many times science has been wrong in the past -- extraterrestrials are still very open to me. We always make the mistake of thinking we know everything there is to know and have accounted for everything. That is rarely true, but the few that think outside what is known are the ones that invent new things and advance the human race. Yep, normally the ones that break the known laws of science that others think can't be broken.

I would tend to agree with this. All we know is what we have experienced on this small, young planet. Nuts and bolts, morphing stuff, pure light or energy. Who says nuts and bolts can't pass through dimensional portals, or that energy can't traverse the universe? Just because we can't do it, doesn't mean that someone from somewhere else can't.

I think this is an existance of endless possibilities. Life that can thrive in conditions that humans can't. Technology capable of things we haven't even begun to dream of. How do we know it doesn't exist? No human (that we know of at least) has ever visited another planet. I like to think that it is our generations day and time, when we will be the one's that finally learn the truth. Or at least some of it.
