I say both. Funny thing is I STRONGLY DON"T believe of them on this planet!!!
If just one in 1,000,000 stars hosted a planet that supported intillegent life, that we have BILLIONS of intillegent neighbors out there in the vast universe.
When the math is done you have a billion times better chance of winning the lottery every week for a year that there being ZERO intelligent life supported by ANY other sun in this galaxy alone much less the entire universe.
I believe that we have billions of neighbors out there that we will never see. At the speed of 186,000 miles per second (Light) it is not feasible to travel that kind of distance to actually "meet" them in our life times. I believe that the same applies to other sentient races in the universe. Any intilligent life form that is still in solid matter form is going to be limited to the same speed restrictions that we are, and given their solid matter state, the life times should be to some extent similar to ours. Any intilligent life form that could exist outside of the solid matter state would have less than no interest in Earth or Humans hence I call B.S. to those claiming the Alien butt probe. You know what you are!
Likewise with the Ghost that can exist outside of the solid matter state. Why would this new form want back to Earth to hang out with solid matter Humans! It would be like you being blind, and then suddenly regain your sight after years of blindness. You at this point fully grasp the new sight and make a concious decision on how best to remove your eyeballs! A ghost that could travel the universe freely is not going back to the projects in D.C. for pete's sake!
