Re: Any information on UFO’s !!
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof but here's an application of the "grain of salt" KeepItSimpleStupid method. Consider how worthwhile it is before doing any math problem to first estimate what the answer should be. This really helps avoid problems like misplaced decimals, transposed numbers, substitutions, typos, etc etc since at least you have an idea of the range window in which the answer should fall. When discussing UFOs (at least the common extraterrestrial sort) many crackpots and well-intentioned folks as well can be very convincing at first glance. Considering that even given our wildest imaginations or avant garde sci fi writers plot mechanisms it is impossible to imagine that space travel is cheap, even to nearby planets. We don't even remotely have a frame of reference to make the leap in real comprehension of the orders of magnitude of difference to interstellar distances even though we glibly spout the numbers. The difficulty and cost goes up so far so fast that one should probably ask what would possibly be sufficient motivation to make that leap without knowing in advance the expense is even remotely justifiable and just how old, wealthy, advanced such a civilization must be. It's good to keep such a perspective when wild claims get made assuming we are so interesting or valuable to such a civilization.
