Occam's Razor in this case would be a complete assumption at best. That's because we would have to assume that whatever intelligence is responsible for UFOs is biological in nature like ourselves. In fact, to use OR, we would almost have to assume that the aliens are just like us. It's this very premise that excludes the ETH from being anything other than hypothetical option and NOT a very strong one at that. So no, OR defeats the ETH as it does most other hypothetical considerations. I mean, just ask Lance Moody how OR works out with respect for his skepticism and UFOs. I think you'll find it works quite well. That's the problem with science, it's brutal stuff.
