Interesting reading some of that. I was going to mention the Drake Equation.:)
:lol:
I would not lie or make up what I saw that totally blew my mind and gave me the conclusive proof that UFOs do exist. It was amazing to see these objects quite close up, darting around the sky and doing maneuvers that are impossible for any 'known' man-made craft to do?

Rocky planets in the "goldilocks" zone for water to exist in all three states are probably fairly common. Being the right size and right combination of other factors to have water in all three states still relatively common. The planet surviving long enough with water and atmosphere to support intelligent, complex life, maybe not as common. Then planet with any sort of life going through the necessary one in a million or billion or gazillion evolutionary changes to get onto the next step of intelligent complex life, and the next step, and the next step...probably quite rare. For it to have happened on two planets at the same time? (give or take a few thousand years) Rarer still. In an infinite world, technically still rare as the examples of life will be spread far and wide, but also infinite in number. In a finite space, potentially very rare. Humanity beat a ton of long shot odds just to exist, led alone thrive.

The probability of there 'not' being aliens is practically ZERO.

Its minus actually, you are so right mate, I think disclosure isn't far off either with all this commercial stuff being able to go into low earth orbit, the world will see whats it like up there and I reckon its crawling with craft, every mission to every leave have said they saw or were followed by craft

Due to the odds that we beat in order to exist, it means that another intelligent species existing right now in our galaxy is such a long shot that it's reasonable to say we're alone in the galaxy. We probably weren't the first intelligent life in the galaxy, and won't be the last. But right now, the only ones. On a universe scale, well it depends on the size of the universe. If it's finite, then chances are slim of another intelligent species existing out there right now. If it's infinite, then there are an infinite number of alien races out there right now. Closest might be a few hundred galaxies away, but still there.

What you've (more or less) described is the "drake equation" which has been knocked around for quite a few years now. The problem with the drake equation is that it makes quite a lot of wild assumptions, all of which are multiplied together and thus have a massive error bar. The error bar is so big that the equation is almost totally useless.

Just a tiny change in one of the variables in the equation can make the difference between trillions of alien species and none.

All we do know (and quite recently) is that exoplanets are EVERYWHERE. We also know there is 100 billion stars in a galaxy and 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe. This means the probability of alien life is extremely high. Thats all we really know.

The drake equation was never meant to be a scientific tool as it's variables can never be quantified accurately.

That is certainly one possibility that is frequently touted and goes along with what we know about mass velocities not being able to reach C.
If that were true, it would be a very very cruel scenario.
