Subject: RE: BS: UFOs in the news
Yeah. ;-)

You know, the one thing that I have come to know in life...and that I always keep in mind...is this:    how little I know!

I figure other people are probably in the same boat when it comes to that. I have a lot of interesting hypothetical theories about the UFOs, about life after death, about many other things, but they're strictly hypothetical, I assure you.

Like you, I go on instinct. Plus my meager experience. Plus whatever information I can glean from various sources...and, man, there must be a million sources. Which of them is reliable and which is not, I cannot say.

Then there's the thing about calculating odds, based on various evidence. One can say that the odds of something occurring are 1 in 10...or 5 in 10...or 1 in a million...whatever. Still it only amounts to our best guess, based on what info we have. Regardless of what the odds are, something may still turn out to be real...or not. Something can beat the known odds even if they seem almost insurmountable. You never know till it happens, right?

The odds of the Titanic sinking on its maiden voyage were probably something like 20,000 to 1.
