who believes UFOs are extra-terrestrial?
The military is once again doing a study on UFOs because so many military pilots have reported and verified the sightings. I have always believed they exist. When you think of the vastness of the universe it's hard to imagine that we are the only intelligent beings out there. What do you think?

Just look at what the new Webb telescope is showing us after just coming on line; literally billions of galaxies in the universe, each with billions of stars and solar systems.
It would be the epitome of arrogance to think that our puny little planet way out in one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way galaxy was the only orb to give rise to intelligent, sentient life!
Now, are they here? I dunno, seems like a waste to drive literally 100's of light years just to check us out!! A terrible waste of energy and resources!

Considering the current state of world affairs ; I'm thinking any being with the technology to get off this plant ; would be leaving ASAP. 
I do believe there are things going on ( sightings ) that defy explanation , but I'll fall back on an adage from years back .
" I'll believe there are UFOs and beings from other planets ; when they land in Carl Sagan's back yard. "
Unfortunately it's to late for that to happen .

But he did say that IF we are all alone in the universe, that seems like a terrible waste of space.

I have read that UFOs are real and that it is billionaires from other planets.

There are beings out in other worlds, but they don’t come here. If they did it wouldn’t be in starships

It's just as likely that this is the solitary garden spot of the universe as much as it is likely that intelligent (it would be better to be wise) life exists elsewhere and is seeking it out.
By far the bulk of sightings of UFO's and other phenomenon can be explained away. It's the 1% or so that can't, whose witnesses are sober, rational and have nothing to gain that interest me the most. There may be a heretofore undiscovered giant North American ape or a pre-Neolithic human type yet to be discovered. Remember Homo Florensis from Indonesia?
Equally possible is the question that it may be not where "they" are from but rather when.
Like the sound barrier, time will be conquered.
Post Edit... My nature is that of a cynic. I think that in many cases its the powers that be which find advantage in perpetuating ignorance or mystery. Either for their own benefit or that of a national enemy. It does keep the mind occupied. Dunno.

That's largely how I feel. I think it'd be silly to think we're the only intelligent life. I mean if it's happened once out of billions of possibilities why not twice or a million times?
However, we're not capable of going there. Why would we think they're capable of coming here? And why here out of a huge number of possibilities?
Then consider time. We've only been around, in our current form, for a couple of hundred thousand years (I googled that). In the enormity of time that the universe must have existed, what's the likelihood of another intelligence existing with the capability of getting here at precisely the right point in time for us to know about it? While I concede it may be possible, I think it's extraordinarily unlikely.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

I have the same interest and recently finished reading a couple of good books on the human aspect of UFO culture - very interesting to delve into that point of view:
They Are Already Here: UFO Culture and Why We See Saucers
Somewhere in the Skies: A Human Approach to the UFO Phenomenon
Another good one by author Sarah Scoles:
Making Contact: Jill Tarter and the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence
If NorCal isn't burning to the ground in September we have a planned stop at the Hat Creek Radio Observatory(aka Allen Telescope Array).
