I didnt say,i dont believe in extraterrestrial intelligent life or ufos.I said there is no concrete proof that its out there.Yeah we got eyewitnesses,pictures,stories etc but no actual proof.Well all know carl sagans theory on life.
1. There are something like 1022 stars in the Universe, and as about one in a million of these stars is a yellow dwarf star like our Sun, this means there are about 1016 Sun-type stars in the Universe.
2. Now one in a million of these Sun-type stars probably has a planetary system similar to that of our Sun’s. Therefore there are about 1010 planetary systems in the Universe.
3. One in a million of these planetary systems must have a planet similar to that of Earth, and life must have evolved on those planets in the same manner in which it has evolved here on Earth. Therefore, there are at least 10,000 planets in the Universe that have life on them.

The only conclusion that can be drawn currently is that science has produced no credible evidence of intelligent life in outer space. There have been many speculations and opinions offered, but empirical evidence for the existence of extraterrestrial life is completely lacking. A good suggestion might be, therefore, that we spend our time on more important pursuits.

You numbers are way off friend. There are about 100 billion stars in our galaxy alone, and probably about 100 billion or more galaxies in the universe. And that's just a guess, as we have no way of knowing for sure. So, 10,000 planets in the universe that could possibly harbor life? Not likely. More like 10,000 planets per galaxy, and most likely, more...
Assuming, by my numbers that every sun like star in our galaxy has a solar system, that leaves approximately 1,000,000 Earth-like planets in our galaxy, alone. So, assuming the Milky way to be average we can assume there are roughly 100 Million Billion Earth-like planets in the universe that could harbor life in the context that we are familiar with. This doesn't count the the planets where life could exist that is totally alien to us and our concepts of what life is.

Only to you that is a fact. Saying that is like calling everyone who has had contact be it positive or negative liars..
I am sure that was not your intent. But when you say something like that it seems like you are designating anyone claiming contact a liar because it has not happened to you. Please think about how you phrase things or you could affend some very good people who have done nothing to you and never asked for these things to happen to them to begin with. Its better to say that the fact is I believe we are alone until I find my own proof. Because that is a more accurate statement. It is your belief that we are alone when people tell you they have seen them firsthand.

The Vatican is simply covering its bases.
They don't want to be looked out as "out of touch" or irrelevant in academics when living microbial life forms begin to pop up on other planets and moons. Its as simple as that.
Their old hat standard holds that life was created and exists solely on Earth. SO that ideal has been revised. They simply don't need the repeat embarrassments like the Earth being the center of the Universe.
With so many planets orbiting stars outside our system. With the increasing chance likelihood that we will find the building blocks of life or microbial life nearby planets and moons, its time to embrace those odds now. I don't see any of this being a building wave of imminent disclosure. Keep it simple and it make so much more sense.
'The search for forms of extraterrestrial life does not contradict belief in God. — Just as there are multiple forms of life on earth, so there could exist intelligent beings in outer space created by God

Disclosure is an echo of more of the same. There are more threads than one can care to count about imminent disclosure. Soon soon soon soon ... Don't hold your collective breaths.
Whats unfolding in government agencies is that they are simply emptying their decades old private closets that once warranted guarded security interests. Be sure there are some interesting and notable content. But Nothing that has been released to date has been or will be the "magic bullet" the "killer claim" that offers irrefutable evidence of UFO's or Aliens exist.
In this day and age of instant communication and civilian media capabilities - it is increasingly difficult to keep something that is presumably global so quiet for so long. No government body can quell that. I do enjoy the subject matter allot but its increasingly collapsing under the weight of its own excuses each month and passing year.
Current day episodes are spartan and have yet to hold up. People are too willing to accept and embrace grand claims and anomalies which further spirals objectivity out of control.
So Disclosure...yeah. Someone same time next month will pontificate the same points. If people want to wear out the word Disclosure to the point it becomes worthless - I guess thats fine.
