Asexual beings that don't "eat"...they absorb their nutrients from stardust.

Not only that but there are no resources on Earth that can't be found anywhere else in the galaxy. I suspect asteroids would be of more interest to them than our little planet. :)

 

Ive seen the Peter Jackson doco : Bad Taste.
Some species will travel light years for tasty humans . Chewing on some closer to them rock just doesnt bring the same pleasure as chewing on a human.

"A Pentagon report released on Friday says of 144 reports made about the phenomena since 2004, all but one remain unexplained."
The long awaited release of the US report gave us nothing.
It basically says not enough hard evidence . Unexplained is not the same as Aliens .

So ,to sum up this long thread:  unless you have GOOD evidence , dont allways assume aliens .
A blurry splodge is not good evidence. Its a blurry splodge .
Pilots can & do make observational mistakes , and pilots can lie . They are human , with humans not very good eyesight .
Scientists make mistakes. Often. The Drake Equation is nonsense (its mostly guesses) .

Show me the CLEAR photos of aliens or their spacecraft. Or even bigfoot .

Aliens don't photograph well. Their inertialess drives blur the pictures.

No one is assuming anything, and I think you're missing the crux of this and why this has made news headlines.  And I have read the official  report btw.

Many the 144 unexplained phenomena reported between 2004 & 2015 were detected or captured by cutting edge military hardware belonging to the US Navy.

These are not just eyewitness accounts which is the reason the Pentagon Task Force was formed.

That the Pentagon & Defense Dept have publicly and officially stated that these phenomena involving objects, not just images remain unexplained and have not ruled out any possibilities is a U Turn on 50 years of denial. Mainly due to advances in technology.

I believe anyone who opines there is no life out there besides us is either arrogant or ignorant given the size of our (observable) universe (multiverse), and the number of stars. 

And regarding Dark Matter/Dark Energy - it's called Dark because we can't see it - however we can detect and measure the effects of both.

Dark Energy for one is the unknown force behind the ever accelerating expansion of the universe. It's unknown therefore dark. It is most definitely present.

Dark Matter causes gravitational lensing clearly seen by the Hubble, also affects the orbit of Galaxies. Einstein predicted lensing but though we would never observe it.

Theoretical Physicists have known for years that the universe started with the Big Bang - but there was no way to prove it because the technology didn't exist until now.   

The Large Hadron Collider in Europe was built specifically to test that theory, and it proved right. Just because something cannot be proven conclusively doesn't mean it's bunk.

a lot of truth out there in australia

On the Aussie sighting ,

Today they would just say it was a drone and demand that they be banned with severe penalties.
Like the Heathrow episode they would look for a local hapless model aero plane enthusiast, search and find model airplanes.
Ta-Da Evidence !
At that point they could hold and interrogate under terrorism provisions.
Confession would save the non existent case.
Eventually press would find detained persons alibi, that police were ignoring, and they would be set free.

Its still a drone, we know its a drone.
