And what accounts for the many unexplained sightings by pilots, both military and commercial, of UFOs with speed and inexplicable, other-worldly maneuvers never seen before?

Plus, if we were to actually pick up broadcast signals from some distant planet (something I consider highly unlikely, BTW) we'd need to take into account the distance of that planet (say, 60 light years away) and know that the signals originated a very long time ago, and no telling if that civilization is still around.

Fermi had no clue just how vast even our own galaxy is, let alone the Universe as a whole.

Why would they come to a surface air breather planet? Most planets if they have life will be subsurface.
What if they came 6 billion years ago? No Earth!
