I'm not a denier, I just don't have any first hand experience, so when the pilot told his story with nothing to gain it's another notch in the believable file. Same with Bob Lazar, his life has been ruined a few times no doubt by the spooks, but again no first hand experience, so it's IMO.
The big skepticism factor for me is time. OK, you can say we've got billions of galaxies, and billions of stars in every one of those galaxies, and consequently billions of planets capable of supporting life similar to earth, but time fucks things up. Some intelligent life could have set out for our part of the universe, but because of the distance and the time it takes to get here our star could have gone Red Giant and planet earth would be nothing but a ball of iron by that time.
Yes. This is known by astronomers and enthusiasts.
Think about this.
When you look at the night sky and see a star...
Let's say that star is 20 million light-years away...
The light that is striking your eyeball.... that light, left from that star, 20 million years ago, and you are JUST now seeing it.
IE. You are seeing the Star is it looked 20 MILLION YEARS AGO.
So even if there was intelligent life a million light years away at this very moment, if we looked at their planet with a telescope, it would be how it looked a million years ago (Probably didn't have intelligent life then)
