This is interesting and even workable. But logic dictates that you invert
the order.
THIS:

SHOULD BE NUBER ONE in a logical sequence of probabilities.
Then there are more likely possibilities before you need to even mention ETs.
But it's ETs that's the real kicker isn't it. It doesn't matter that there is
zero evidence that they even exist. The subject is boring and unsexy if Et's
