"Any attempts at detecting/quantifing 'aliens' or 'UFO's' aren't really much more likely than attempts at detecting/quantifying 'God', and are somewhat bedevilled by the same issues.   Humans are restricted to what our senses detect, and what we've (usually accidentally) created machines to detect, and we tend to only expect 'aliens' to exist, if they exist, arguaby arrogantly, in a form which is detectable by our senses and/or our machines. By the very nature of what 'aliens' could well be, there is no reason to believe they will play by such rules, and human imagination (insanity?) can be given free reign on the subject.   'Aliens' may well already be here 'living' among us, equally likely there could well be multiple varieties of 'aliens' already here all living parallel 'lives' in parallel 'worlds', none of which are known or detectable to any variety of 'alien' but their own.   The concept of things being in this world we cannot detect isn't rare, electricity only manifests itself to our senses in certain ways in certain very specific conditions. We've developed machines over time which are more sensitive to it, but are we aware of and able to detect its every aspect, probably not. Radiation is omni-present all around us, we never knew it was there until somebody accidentally created machinery sensitive to it. How much more is here we're oblivious to and will remain so until it too is accidentally 'discovered', maybe there's nothing more, but equally likely there coud be countless similar 'discoveries' waiting to be made, and there's no reason why one or multiple 'aliens' may not be among them. We just don't know it as they're made from a substance we know nothing of as yet, and which we can't see, hear, smell, taste or feel, and we've not accidentally created a machine that is either sensitive to the unknown substance they are constructed from, or vice versa, a machine which emits a force that the substance they are constructed from reacts to in a way that makes it detectable to human senses.
