I don't mean this to sound insulting, or impudent, but it is equally
arrogant to think that we are not alone.  It assumes that development of
life is inevitable, a necessary condition of the universe.

Actually, we don't know.  I hope that there are other developments of life
and intellect in the universe, and I think that projects like SETI are
inexpensive
and useful.  But we do not know.

This we do know:  there are no reputable, confirmed, unexplained by other
mechanisms, contacts made with us here on earth, by creatures from
elsewhere.  None.

I wish there were.  It would be truly exciting.
