Isn't that the official classification of an "Unidentified Flying Object"? Its was unidentifiable and it was flying in some fashion. I did not say it was of alien origin, so anyone who is quick to say, "ALIENZOR TAKING OVER TEH WRLDSS!!", that's their own damn fault.

Intelligent is classified as an organism with acute reactions to the things around them, adaptation, and use of
technology . I gave a dictionary link so you don't assume "electronic devices" only as technology. A monkey using a stick to get honey from a beehive is use of technology. Unicellular organisms are known as
not being an intelligent life form. I was not identifying "intelligent life" as their level of knowledge. Aliens do not have to be intelligent, as it was reported that unicellular life forms were found on mars.

Quote:You just answered your own question. Evolution is a pretty solid explaination. We can trace most species back to their roots.
It is, but some species show up out of random. And very sudden. And with them being relatable to other and past species, perhaps these "scientist aliens" are not able to produce a new species on our planet's living conditions? perhaps they can't expand any further. These "scientist aliens" may be smart, but they may not know
everything. Again... Much like us.
Quote:It's hard to imagine that they would be so successful at hiding from us if they were.
If they were real, perhaps this point is being proven otherwise? You do not know their technology. Who knows if they have already discovered a cloaking mechanism. They had most likely been around much longer than us if they can fly through space, I'm pretty sure cloaking would be as easy as 2+2=4. But I do not know what they do either. But they're certainly smarter (and probably less arrogant and stubborn) than us.
Quote:I live by the philosophy of "Screenshot or it didn't happen". Thus I consider all claims to be false until proven otherwise by established science.
I can respect that as I am myself. But it is a belief. I'm not saying I am right and everyone else is wrong. But wouldn't it suck to be abducted and no one believe you, and no way of proving yourself? I'll give SOME people the benefit of the doubt, but most certainly not all.
