I've heard all the theories, from secret military project to beings from another dimension. The simplest explanation would be that the military has developed the technology and uses the UFO mythology as a cover story, a disinformation campaign. But the simplest explanation isn't always correct, it only tends to be. I've yet to be convinced by any theory, so I'll have to wait & see.

But willravel didn't see what you saw and neither did I. All due respect, but we can't make any assumptions based on hearsay. Since you've read the other thread and quoted from it, you've seen my breakdown of why it's unlikely that we're being visited by space invaders; in light of that, we'd need very hard proof to accept as fact that we have interstellar peeping toms.
And yeah, the Drake equation is a big steaming pile of crap; it's basically a bunch of made up numbers. As to SETI, well... I admire the conviction of those people, but there's no scientific basis for what they're doing. They're not looking because they have reason to believe they'll find something, they're doing it because they want to find something.
