The problem(s) with the UFO/ET speculation

Aside from the distance and time factors of space travel – even by an advanced species that has “engi- neered” their way out of the physical conundrums – there are other stip- ulations that endure any suggestion that UFOs are visitors from the stars.
 
A major consideration is this:
 
Not only are the creatures of this planet – all fauna and flora – subject to Darwinian evolution, but thought – mental activity – is also a product of its own kind of evolution.
 
Thinking, while intrinsically determined by the evolutionary strictures of the biological brain, the primary determinants are social modifications, the history and societal interactions of humankind.
 
Just as the Neanderthal extinction by homo sapiens was a major determinant of human behavior thereafter, all the vicissitudes of survival and interactions enter into the way living species exist on Earth.
 
The “evolution” of humanity is unique – to this planet – and would not apply or be like any other evolution of thought or behavior elsewhere in the Universe.
 
Sentient species elsewhere in the cosmos would have their own set of circumstances – and evolution – quite different than human- kinds.
 
To suggest that ETs are mutilating cattle or checking out nuclear facilities is facile, even ridiculous.
 
(Of course, if UFOs are from Earth’s future, that’s another matter for speculation.)
 
But the idea that extraterrestrials would behave or act similarly to human behavior and the projected thinking imposed (projected) upon them is ludicrous in the extreme.
 
ET thought, craft design, and observational practices – if they were coming here – would be so bizarre that human conjecture about that would be ludicrous, irrational, even insane.
 
Let me write that those pressing for a UFO/ET explanation are just intellectually fallow.
 
I am ashamed sometimes to interact with their mental folly.
