3. If you believe extraterrestrials have visited earth, do you actively search for information?
4. If you don’t believe extraterrestrials have visited earth, are you open to believing it? Who isn't open to evidence?
I was gonna quote Fermi, but JNort beat me to it.
Here is Wiki article -- I actually met Herb York on a few occasions:
The Fermi paradox, named after Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi, is the apparent contradiction between the lack of evidence for extraterrestrial civilizations and various high estimates for their probability (such as some optimistic estimates for the Drake equation)...
Although he was not the first to consider this question, Fermi's name is associated with the paradox because of a casual conversation in the summer of 1950 with fellow physicists Edward Teller, Herbert York and Emil Konopinski. While walking to lunch, the men discussed recent UFO reports and the possibility of faster-than-light travel. The conversation moved on to other topics, until during lunch Fermi allegedly said suddenly, "But where is everybody?" (although the exact quote is uncertain).
