You can't say that. You can only agree with the latter. I think rammstein has is. The talk about UFO's and abductions is crap as far as I can tell. When I say I think we're not alone, I'm no limitting it to intelligent life forms who can travel between galexies. I mean alien billy goats chilling on random alien mountains. There could be other forms just like us, but smarter. I'll more than likely die before we ever find out though.

The Drake equation states that:
where:
N = the number of civilizations in our galaxy with which communication might be possible;
and
R* = the average rate of star formation per year in our galaxy fp = the fraction of those stars that have planets ne = the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets fℓ = the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop life at some point fi = the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop intelligent life fc = the fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space L = the length of time such civilizations release detectable signals into space.[3]
Therefore, it's virtually impossible for it to only be us.
