Reply to comment by CrelbowMannschaft in 'Highly Maneuverable' UFOs Defy All Physics, Says Government Study by Gari_305

I’m curious how is it outlandish? There are far older solar systems then ours in our galaxy, and even older ones in other galaxies. I’m not saying you are wrong because the opposite hasn’t been proven either. All I’m saying is with how many stars and systems that are in our galaxy alone, the chances of a species of a highly intelligent and technologically advanced civilization is very likely.

while the chance should be very likely, the evidence we have so far doesn't support this. The question is why. We as a species are currently in the process of answering said question, i.e. rapid decline of our only known biosphere supporting higher forms of life, caused by your cited (rapid) advancement in technology without the ability of dealing with the pitfalls of said technologies.

What you are referring to is known as the Drake equation.

What we are currently experiencing is known as the Great Filter.
