What I mean is, are the paths of these waves altered by silly things like gravity? And blocked by the sun and other chunks of matter?

Some incidents such as Belgian UFOs and cattle mutilations seem compelling to me. Sorry for wandering into lala land, but ETs seem like a natural explanation. I believe they do not reveal themselves in a major way because they prefer to avoid quicksand.

I share your disbelief that this old planet should be the only one in the known universe to have life on it. It really isn't that unique surely. The abundance of the right chemistry, multiplied by the sheer volume of space and uncountable stars blows away any idea of uniqueness, so let’s keep looking and listening.

I too share that feeling that with all those galaxies, stars, and now (finally detected) planets, this wonderful accident must have happened other places too, though with the small demonstrated sample size for life (N=1), strictly speaking it's a bit risky to extropolate!
