Disclosure Project - Aliens UFOs

[AFTT47]

Anyone who thinks aliens might be "thousands" of years ahead of us seriously lacks imagination.

If they are a mere 200 years behind us they'd need sail-powered star ships to get here.  Such are the limits of human imagination.

I'm afraid so. As much as I love Star Trek and Babylon 5, these scenarios of multiple alien races at approximately the same technological level in close proximity to each other is pure folly. If you compared any two stars at random, it would be very rare to find two within 100 million years of the same age. Outside of a cluster, such pairs would be far apart - especially if you only consider those of the appropriate stellar type to support life and actually having a planet of the appropriate type in the goldilocks zone.

If we had a starship like the Enterprise, capable of traveling thousands of light years, we would likely only find planets with non-intelligent life or beings so advanced, they would be indistinguishable from gods. It would take one hell of a lot of searching to find an alien civilization only thousands of years behind or ahead of us. And I have a hard time seeing how there could be any meaningful inter-species relationships even with those.
