Do you believe in them.

No.

Tautologically so. If there are flying objects that are unidentified, then they are Unidentified Flying Objects.

More strictly speaking, I believe that new military aircraft gets seen sometimes before it gets declassified. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_51

I'm willing to believe that alien spacecraft may at one point in history passed by the Earth

I'm also aware of the fact that the CIA encouraged the belief in UFOs to cover up for their very human aircraft testing

I'm not willing to believe UFOs containing large-headed humanoids decided to randomly visit to speak to the government for no particular reason then leave again after probing the butts of a few farmers 'cause I guess they found nothing much interesting up there

They also seem to have gone extinct with the advent of cell phone video

They also seem to have gone extinct with the advent of cell phone video

They haven't gone extinct at all - there are tons of purported UFO sighting cell phone videos all over the Internet.

They're just not any more convincing or real than the ones that people made before cell phones were invented.

"They also seem to have gone extinct with the advent of cell phone video"

Nope. A while back, a user scoffed at how Bigfoot pictures/video no longer happened now that we had cell phones, and that's not true, either. Cryptid stuff is bigger than ever, and all you have to do is type "Bigfoot" or "UFO sighting" into youtube to see bunches of purported videos. I don't believe in them, but they are definitely NOT extinct.

Yeah, but I assume UFOs are mostly just weird military aircraft/experiments. I believe there’s life out in the universe and think that some of it might be intelligent, because the universe is mind-bogglingly huge, but I doubt there’s aliens zipping around in Earth’s atmosphere.

UFOs, yes.

Are they aliens visiting us? Almost certainly not.

Well the term does mean something outside of aliens so yes, UFO's are real in the sense that any object that isn't identifiable is as UFO.

But do I believe that aliens come and visit us in space-crafts to test or observe us? No.

I do think alien life exists somewhere out there in the universe, but whether or not it has the same level of intelligence or technological advancement is the question.

This.

took the words right out of my mouth on all three points

I think that most reported UFOs (that aren't straight-up hoaxes) are regular, explicable things - whether natural phenomena, or manmade things - perceived or remembered weirdly. A very small percentage of them might be weird artifacts of human consciousness or something like - perceptual/cognitory bugs in the machine, maybe kinda similar to shamanic or religious or mystical experiences, and with the same underlying validity.

I don't think any of them at all are physical spacecraft, piloted by alien intelligences, etc, etc, etc, etc. It's a very unlikely explanation.

No. I think there are aliens out there, but there is no reason to think they have the technology to make it here or that they would want to if they could.

I mean, there's also no reason to think that we have the most advanced tech in the universe, either. That's just human ego speaking.

As for want, IDK, aliens probably have anthropologists and things like that, too. :V

According to The History Channel, the greys are directly responsible for everything useful that ever happened to mankind... But no. It’s classified aircraft and hallucinations. There probably are aliens out there somewhere, but they don’t give a shit about improving us or molesting our cows.

Well, yeah. Lots of flying objects aren't identified officially. But if what you mean is, do I believe in aliens in spaceships visiting our planet... then no, that doesn't seem very likely.

I personally think that UFOs of the explicable kind are very pretty to look at. ( Also crop circle pranks: equals massive gorgeous in my book. )

The other kind that all the tabloid reading whack jobs are obsessing over...
...not so much. Friendly aliens would be wonderful to talk to, even over interstellar distances. Unfriendly ones with butt probes, etc., obviously not.

Unfortunately, there's still no proof of anybody or anything willing to talk to humanity out there at all. I still wonder if planet Earth is experiencing the equivalent of an intergalactic phubbing.

I believe people see (or perceive or think they perceive) flying objects they can't readily explain. I believe not everyone who claims a UFO encounter is willfully lying and rather they "experienced" something, even if was all in their heads or a misinterpretation of an explicable phenomenon. I don't believe we are being buzzed by aliens come to anal-probe us.

I take it as a given that life exists elsewhere in the universe. We now know planets are common, and the universe is so vast... it is statistically very unlikely Earth is unique in supporting life. Plus, all you really need for life as we know it is liquid water. You don't even technically need sunlight (while most life on Earth is ultimately dependent on the sun, we also have entire food chains that are mosyly cut off from the sun and are dependent on deep sea volcanic vents instead).
