The lack of evidence of aliens is so unlikely it’s paradoxical that we don’t see them, so why is it also considered so unlikely that we do see them that it requires extraordinary evidence?
The Ariel School silver saucer landing and contact event in Zimbabwe would be totally convincing if it didn’t require extraordinary evidence. Especially considering corroborating similar events that are completely unrelated, like the Westall school silver saucer in Australia, and many other metallic disc and orb sightings and even pictures, like this one for example https://news.co.cr/best-ufo-photo-in-the-world-taken-at-arenal-costa-rica-45-yrs-ago/50584/#google\_vignette.
Given the statistical likelihood and all the anecdotal observations, the only thing lacking is reproducibility and it would be scientifically proven. So should the bar really be so high that this resolution of the Fermi paradox is basically ignored by the scientific community?
