Hello all: The 98% figure is more or less out of the air, having read the literature,
in muliple languages I might add.

I refer to the literature the PUBLIC is exposed to, much of which didn't make that long list above.
Yes, but please be careful. It sounded like you were saying 98% of the public reports of UFO and ETI phenomena to be "crap"
By "crap" I mean aliens mating with humans ala' Antonio Villas Boas (LOL!),
abductions by the 100s of thousands or millions when relatively few would
do (in my particular model), putting on light shows when stealth makes
more sense, friendly space-brothers come to enlighten us to a new
'spirituality', and/or War of the Worlds type takeover attempts right out
of the old drive in movies.
I think you should realize that there are millions of UFO abduction accounts. This outnumbers the UFO accounts you have collected over two decades. Hence, please apply the same objective analysis, you have used on UFO's, to abductions too. It doesn't make logical sense to me, that you would take one aspect seriously, and the other you would just discard, which is generally synonymous with UFO. I was doing the same 5 months ago, and I realized how I illogical I was being.
As for commuting, that's how some people seem to visualize the visitations.
I prefer a scenario where automated probes propagate, slowly over great
distances, reporting back to their point of origin. The information gained
would go back at light speed presumably, the craft moving at sub-luminal
speeds. Again this is all according to my particular model.
There is nothing wrong with your model. However, the facts, as well as your own data, does not support your model. If they were indeed alien probes, then why do you have hundreds of thousands of sightings of these large craft?
In addition, I am sure you aware, that Alien visitation has been ongoing for thousands if not millions of years. Surely, they would have enough data by now.
"Beings" or robots would be superintelligent if only slightly advanced over
our technology, electronic and biological. They may well be indistinguishable
from living creatures, adding to the confusion. IF this has merit, nobody
would call them "natural", as a human would be if he went to Mars today.
I would expect a long, deep survey of Earth. From time to time a craft
might get seen and reported in spite of precautions. I would expect
stealth for the same reasons that scientists studying baboons in the wild
try to stay out of sight. They do not march into camp and try to improve
the simian life-style, instilling a new sense of 'cosmic awareness' and
spirituality. In short, our scientists are not air-heads, and I expect no
less from alien probes if such there be.
I hope you don't mind, I'd like to introduce you to some alternate models.
Visitation at sub-luminal velocity:
If I was an alien civilization. I would determine which regions of space may support life. I would then send a probe or a signal to that region. If there is life there, I would send an manned team to further investigate. If I was 400 light years away, and I sent the probe at 50% the speed of light, than in 2040 years I should recieve the data from the probe. I could then dispatch a manned team at 50% the speed of light, in cryo-sleep, which arould arrive in 2000 years.
If we assume we have had Alien visitation 40,000 years ago. It would take an alien species from 400 light years 4040 years to both probe our region of space and to visit us. Once they arrive here, they would have ample time to establish their colonies in our solar system and interact with primitive life of those planets.
Worldship
The best popular example of this would be, The Star Ship Enterprize. Imagine multiple generations of an alien civilization living on a world-sized ship, travelling across space at 10%C the speed of light. In fact, even we are moving across space, at around 1.3 million mph. So just imagine a ship the size of the moon exploring space. At 10%C they could cross 50 light years in 500 year intervals. Eventually discovering other civilizations.
Von Neuman Machines:
Von Neuman machines travelling across space across galaxies for millions of years could colonize galaxies, by manufacturing factories to manufacture robots or even clones of the original alien civilization. In other words, leading to indirect contact with the host civilization.
Superluminal velocity:
Of course, this is the most ideal form of interstellar travel. Travelling at 100 or 1000+ times the speed of light. Civilizations from as far as 4000 light years could arrive here in 40 or 4 years and less.
All we know, is relativity tells us, we cant. I've yet to see any solid proof that we can't however.
In addition to that: we know for a fact that spacetime travels much faster than the speed of light. Therefore, if we were to accelerate a mass in a non-linear field, it could theoretically travel many times faster than the speed of light. It would not be the mass that is travelling, but the field.
We know that additional momentum energy causes relativistic mass, and mass has gravitational energy. In other words, there is a link between momentum energy, relativistic mass and gravitational energy.
- More momentum energy - more relativistic mass - more gravitational energy
We know by controlling one of these variables, relativistic mass is affected. In this case, that would be momentum energy. However, logically, gravity should also control relativistic mass.
Therefore it is possible to accelerate many times the speed of light, simply by the control of gravity.
The other way is by energy in the order of planks constant, which would warp spacetime. This is not within our capability, but it would foolish to assume, that it is not within the capability of alien civilizations, possibly millions of years in advance of us.
Therefore:
Considering how young we are in the universe.
Considering how vast this universe is
Considering how old this universe is
Considering how abundant life should be in this universe
Consider all of the above forms of instellar travel
Alien visitation is inevitable, and that is exactly what is happening, and it supports all of the facts.
