I think you put your finger on it, Kristi. It is just not possible for me to believe that we are the only life in the trillions of planets in the universe. Equally improbable to me is that a culture that was advanced enough to travel
6.1724248 × 1013 miles
(that is 61,724,248,000,000 or, yes, almost 62 trillion miles) in one of their lifetimes (as a point of reference, the speed of light is 670,616,629.2 miles per hour, and even at this unattainable speed, it would take 10.5 years) could be duped by any instance of the pentagon or US government is pretty hard to believe.On top of that, they would have to identify our planet out of trillions to come visit, cause you know there ain't any sidetrips with those distances.
