Extraterrestrial life

[Giant Saguaro]

I'm a skeptic, personally, on this. There is a very good chance that intelligent life exists somewhere. There's every chance, but that's all we can say really.

I think about 95% of the sightings people have are very easily identifiable or explainable. However, what perpetuates the UFO and extraterrestrial stuff here on Earth, among several things, in my experience, are the quick routinely dismissive explanations. Ex., someone comes out and says, I saw a weird metallic object glowing orange fly in just above that mountain range, stop, pulsate, and then ascend upward until it was out of sight. And in response, someone says, oh it was Venus. Well, no it wasn't Venus because Venus doesn't do that. That kind of thing eggs on the myths and the 'UFOlogists'.
