"SETI Chief: US Lacks Evidence for Alien Technology"

The president and CEO of the SETI Institute, Bill Diamond, stated that there is no evidence of alien technology in our skies and dismissed claims of UFO sightings as lacking compelling evidence. He emphasized the vast distances of interstellar space and the statistical probability of life beyond Earth, but questioned the likelihood of advanced alien civilizations visiting Earth. Diamond also highlighted the absence of government funding for studying UFOs as evidence against the idea of extraterrestrial visitors, and emphasized the need for scientific rigor in evaluating such claims.
