Good point about what constitutes evidence, but what do you evaluate when the
proof is being concealed? It makes sense that if scores of intelligent,
reputable and experienced people are making claims about life exhisting outside
earth, there would be some evidence of contact. It might sound a little like a
conspiracy theory, but the lack of any tangible evidence must mean that there
has either been no contact with extraterrestrial life and all the sources of
testimony are wrong or that the evidence is being covered up for some reason and
society is being kept in the dark.
It wouldn't be the first time politicians or those in power have lied to the
public.
If you believe in extraterrestrial life, or at least entertain the thought of
it as a possibility, then you might consider faster than light(FTL) travel or
traversable wormholes as a means of how alien life might be able to find us.
The universe is indeed too large for the odds to be good for alien life
finding us if subluminal travel is used, but if an alien race came into
existence thousands or millions of years before us, then they might have the
technology to travel at FTL speeds.
There is no concrete evidence to back up my thoughts, only the theories of
others, but then again, what major scientific discovery didn't start out as a
theory?
