I believe in a lot of things that some people might call "unexplained," but those are things I've experienced myself and I usually have an explanation, even if it's sometimes pretty wild. I've never seen a ghost or a UFO/alien visitor, and so refuse to draw conclusions about them.
I wouldn't jump to some of the conclusions RMJ did, though. Most of those kinds of projections involve thinking that a civilization advanced enough to engage in interstellar travel would be motivated in the same ways as we would be if we had similar technology. But a little reflection on what's changed in the most advanced human cultures in the past 250 years will show how wrong that kind of thinking can be. Unless and until we find solid proof that they ARE here, I don't see how we can close the mental door either direction.
