Other objections to the study of UFOs and the possibility of extraterrestrial visitation of Earth have occasionally
been used as absolutist rejections of the concept. Of these, the commonest may be the inadequacy of space travel
technology
and the so-called "Fermi Paradox." Both of
these have been rigorously and negatively critiqued, if not wholly dispensed with. A few remarks on each will be
sufficient here, and will serve to develop some views particularly germane to the UFO phenomenon.
