Or it could be you’ve made a ridiculous assumption by comparing commercial airlines to UFOs in the first place.

I'm asking if alien craft are a safer method of transport than air liners. Alternatively, if we replaced air liners with these craft, would fewer people die? If they are safer then the sky should be flooded with them to result in 12 crashes so far. This doesn't seem to be the case so there must instead be a smaller number of more dangerous craft to result in 12 crashes. So either the sky is flooded with invisible alien craft or their craft are a more dangerous method of travel than our air liners.

Or maybe it's better to compare to personal modes of traffic and not airliners?

[cowboysauce]

I mean sure. Cars, for example, are significantly more dangerous than airliners and people crash all the time. But if alien craft are as safe as cars then that just leads back to my original point that airliners are better at traveling safely through our atmosphere than physics-defying alien craft.

Or there is a hell of a lot more than we think

[potsandpans]

...yes. and what else floats?

A duck!

who are you, so wise in the ways of science?
