Interesting. I personally do believe in aliens, however, to what extent that statement remains true is variable depending on my current level of "investigation". I like your post because it really outlines how many need to be a bit more discerning. Have you been seeing all the posts about "full disclosure" predicted to happen by end-of-year. What are your thoughts? Would LOVE to see a post on that.
P.S. “HD 164595” (its such a beautiful name, just rolls right off the tongue) - - - LOL!
Do you have a link to any of those posts? I am not sure what you are talking about with regards to "full disclosure." I will say this, I want very much for there to be intelligent life out there. I think that would be so cool. Whether or not there is, I will wait for the data to reproducibly tell me.
