Well Glenn, that was plenty of fun.

Have to think though, that since there are a lot more non government people than there are government people, why are the government people people finding all the alien stuff, and we are not finding the alien stuff?

Just wondering.

The Solar System sits in a bit of a ‘backwater’ in our galaxy. It’s in the Orion spur between two major arms, the Sagittarius Arm and the Perseus Arm. If there were aliens out there traveling in the Milky Way, they’d likely stick to the main spiral arms.

And imho the real question is (as you alluded to): Why travel hundreds or thousands of light years to a planet that supports life - not just life, but life that has radio, TV, computers, rockets, etc. - and then spend your time playing hide-and-seek with airplanes or visiting only with plain folk from podunk towns? If that’s an alien’s idea of a useful activity or just having fun, it’s a lame idea, and I’d question the intelligence of these aliens.

The whole notion of extraterrestrials coming to Earth defies common sense.
