True, and where we have no knowledge, we like to fill in the gaps with our imaginations. Hence, medieval cartographers drew their maps with sea-serpents and other kinds of monster in those parts of the world as yet unexplored.
Similarly, we think about the great, unexplored ocean of space and speculate that there must surely be strange, exotic and perhaps terrifying creatures awaiting us.
We might just find that, once again, aliens and UFOs are just a fanciful doodle on the margin of our understanding. ( <--- wow, did I really say that?
I should write a book...
