Do you believe in UFOs, Bigfoot or other myths?

UFO's seem kinda unreasonable...I took an astronomy class and we talked about the possibility of life in outer space. The professor and the book mentioned that of the data we have right now, the location of any possibility of life is so far away that it would take hundreds of thousands of years for anything to travel via space to earth, even if such a thing as a ship that could travel at light speed existed, but who knows?
I'm a little more inclined to think Bigfoot is a real thing...but I'd have to see more proof before I actually say I think for sure he's real.
I guess I'm saying I believe any thing's possible, but I don't get too involved in thinking about stuff like this - when I see actual evidence I'll be convinced.
How 'bout you?

I believe that there is life somewhere out there created by our creative God. I'm not sure if people have seen UFOs, but I pretty sure the tales of people being abducted and experimented on are just that ...tales.
I also believe in Bigfoot but I think if it did exist it is now extinct. I'm not sure what the correct time period would be called but I think they existed after the dinosaurs and lived with other creatures like the woolly mammoths and then died off before the human age began. The obvious weak link in my belief of Bigfoot is there is no proof of it existing unlike the dinosaurs and other extinct animals. I also like to believe in Bigfoot and other mythological creatures just for the fun of it.

^I agree 100% when it comes to life in outer space. I do believe that God created other worlds with people just like ours. UFO's are another story though. It just seems very far fetched. People building space ships and coming to our earth to just sit up there and watch? Just doesn't seem like what other people would actually do if they found life. I mean, if we succeeded in finding life on another world, and had the means to travel there, why stop at just mere observation? Why not go down and meet them, communicate with them, etc? Just doesn't seem logical to me at all that others wouldn't do the same if they found our little planet.
That and the facts that were discussed in my class had me pretty well convinced that at the closest possible points, other Earth-like planets are still so far away that, even if you put a baby on a spaceship and traveled at light speed directly towards it, the person would not even come close to that planet before dying. It would take well over a lifetime of traveling that fast to get there.
Interesting topic though...
