Reason:

Pro's original thesis was vague and likely either too easy to prove or impossible to prove, depending on what definition of "ET" was assumed. However, I guess we will never know how this debate would have turned out, since Pro failed to make any appearance and forfeited every round. Conduct to Con for showing up for every round.

ETs could not be present enough to debate against Earth. Thus ETs don't exist as proven in this debate.
