20. Well, that explains what a UAP is -- phenomena we can't (yet) explain.

Literally speaking, it does not logically imply aliens are visiting us.

It implies an "unknown."

I like what Neil DeGrasse Tyson said on the subject. I paraphrase, "Everyone today has a supercomputer with a built-in camera in their pocket. So, why can't we obtain a clear picture of something--anything--that implies that extraterrestrials are actually visiting us?"

It seems far more likely to me that there are other explanations yet to be discovered than the "visitors" theory.

But, if we were actually being visited, I'd be first in line to take a ride. (I want to believe!)
