We don't know how likely life is in the universe, let alone intelligent life.

I just read your exchange with Solumbran and I must agree with them. The % could be so low as to make earth a statistical miracle. We just don't know because we only have a sample size of 1 living planet, and a star system full of dead ones. The reasonable position to take is to assume earth is the only planet with life until proven otherwise, as unlikely that may seem as first glance.

And if we go by statistics, people having hallucinations is more likely than having non-human made devices operating on Earth. Of course, this doesn't feel satisfying at all haha.

Regarding the Nimitz, we don't have telemetry. All we have is the testimony and video evidence, but the radar data was never published as far as I know. It's still the most compelling case. I'm craving to learn more of this case, but nearly 5 years have passed since the pentagon admitted it was real. I don't think they're going to spill the beans.

Yes, I obviously go on with my life. I don't have 'I want to believe' posters in my house or anything.

But from time to time I remember what I saw and I can't help but try and figure out an answer.

I understand some people might confuse them. What I saw wasn't the moon though. It was moving at seemingly constant speed, then stopped for a brief moment and shot away accelerating from 0 to infinity in less than a second. It was at first greenish-yellow colored but turned redder as it got away.
