What no UFO believer seems to be able to answer is the very simple question of Why?

Why would an alien society advanced enough to travel here even bother to do so? If they would bother, why send a manned craft? Why send a craft big enough to be spotted by humans?

Eliezer Yudkowsky made a big post about this a while back, where he lays out the very sensible reasons that UFOs being explained by aliens makes no sense. (yes, i know, EY is annoying, I disclaim in advance all necessary disclaimers about him. He's right about this, at least).
