UFO Research, worth it?

no it's not worth it.

you hit it on the head. my personal stance is if the understanding of the universe that we have is to be believed (its not by the way it gets proven wrong in some big way like once every 2 years, but lets say it is) then it's very probable there is life elsewhere in the universe. that could be great, that could be horrible and they could want to enslave us and steal our planet's resources a la steven hawkings thoughts on the matter. frankly until such time as they land here and say hi, it's not worth it to go down that rabbit hole.

as for us likely never knowing, absurd, nasa is working on an alqubierre drive experiment though I haven't heard any details in at least a year. warp drive means we massively up the chances of running into any other life in the universe.

to clarify, by essentially saying it's all substanceless horse hockey.

I really appreciate your reply. It's unfortunate that these channels keep feeding people's curiosity with substanceless shit. I was one those people myself, whenever I took the time to listen to so much crap. Not anymore, though..

As regards the Warp Drive, thank you for pointing me to the NASA experiment. I'll read about it now.

Have a good day!

UFO:s were invented during the cold war, as a counterintelligence measure to get feedback from the USSR on spotted US espionage aircraft.
Have fun chasing the CIA:s tail.

Don't go for UFOs, go for space biology or whatever it's called, bacteria on other planets.

If intelligent aliens had found us we would never know they were here. Fucking nano machines and distant sensing.

99.99%of UFO "research" is nonsense.

The tiny percent that has some validity is NOT concerned with visitors from space, but the possibility of radio signals from space that could be intelligently sent.

Some legitimate astronomers continue to work in that field, but they have found absolutely nothing.

It's worth it for the culture alone

UFO mythology is always entertaining. I mean, I wouldn't dedicate your life to it - Greek mythology is entertaining too, but you don't have to believe it to enjoy it. I suppose, if you can write, there are career opportunities of a sort though.

I can't take anything involving humanoid aliens seriously, or alien contact in general. I mean, I'm fairly certain there are some aliens out there, somewhere - but whether they are something we'd recognize as sapient, or even to be found in our own galaxy, rather than being forever out of reach, that's another thing. Most UFO mythology involves "humans, but not", but even that does say some rather interesting things about how we view ourselves, even if it rarely says anything about actual aliens.
