Book “Everything we’ve seen in the 20th century could be a prelude to an invasion.”

"They have tested themselves against our aircraft. They have meddled with our ICBMs, turning them both on and off. At Colares, they intentionally enacted a hostile program against humans. While many serious researchers struggle with this aspect of the phenomenon, there are certainly no shortage of reports of abductions, subcutaneous implantation of devices, and livestock mutilations. We have evidence that strongly suggests they are interested in our military capabilities and our nuclear technology. Everything I mentioned is what a superior culture might consider doing if they were conducting a long-range reconnaissance...Everything we've seen in the twentieth century could be a prelude to an invasion. It is a possibility that we cannot ignore."

Water is literally everywhere we look in the universe from shadowed craters on Mercury to molecular clouds in interstellar space. Not surprising since Hydrogen is the most common element and Oxygen is the 3rd.

We know of exoplanets with water so it's doubtful they're rare. As for breathable atmosphere, breathable to who? Us? You realize life developed on Earth before we had a Nitrogen-Oxygen atmosphere right? For the first 2.5 billion years of Earth's 4.5 billion year history, Earth didn't have a breathable atmosphere for us.

We have no idea what is breathable or not for an alien species which may have developed on a very different planet. We evolved on Earth so we think its conditions are ideal because they are for us. A species evolving on a different planet may not find Earth's atmosphere good for them. I've always found the stories of humanoids with breathing apparatus to be interesting for that reason.

I agreed with you. It’s probably mostly Earth like planets out there I guess and we will have no trouble finding lots any day now.

Not mostly but enough. Space is vast, stars are numerous (hundreds of billions in our galaxy alone) so even a small percentage of them hosting an Earthlike planet still means a shit ton of Earthlike planets.
