The search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence

When I was young, I was fascinated with the idea of E.T. intelligence; worlds of creatures like us, up there, wondering about the same. How would their thinking be like? What would they look like? Is their technology better than us? Do they have ‘gods’ like us?… I was also a bit of a UFO nut, I recorded VHS videos of different sightings and I do presentations to my classroom about it. Needless to say, they thought I was crazy. In a sense, there’s still that poster from Agent Mulder hung in my head; “I want to believe”.
