Eric Davis.
Eric Davis, yeah.
So I gave my presentation about the scientific way of studying unidentified anomalous phenomena with the Galileo Project.
We can talk more about it later.
And then they asked him to provide his presentation.
He spoke about the four types of aliens that are the pilots within the material retrieved from crash sites.
And after that, I asked my wife, who should I believe?
Obviously, they cannot be entirely correct, both Errol and Eric Davis.
Someone doesn't know the full truth, and who should I believe?
And I...
I basically don't know.
So I'm waiting for... You don't want to speculate?
You don't have an instinct, a gut feeling?
My gut feeling is that we are definitely not alone, okay?
Because we know of 100 billion suns in the Milky Way galaxy alone, we know that about 10% of them have a planet the size of the Earth, roughly at the same separation.
So of all the 10 billion Earth-Sun analogs, and when you look at your street and you see 10 billion houses just like yours, and you say, well, those are probably full of microbes, and that's what my colleagues are saying, microbes, we should invest more than $10 billion in searching for microbes.
And I say, yeah, that's great.
Yes, it's very likely that we'll find evidence for microbes, but it's difficult to detect them remotely when you're sitting at your home and looking out at the cosmic street.
You have to invest in a habitable world observatory, state-of-the-art observatory that will cost more than $10 billion.
And at the end of the day, the best you can do is detect some gases that are released by those microbes in the atmosphere of the planets.
