This example contains an argument from ignorance since the speaker argues that the position that UFOs do not exist must be true since there is no evidence for their existence.
Therefore, the person takes one position as correct just due to a lack of contrary evidence. In this case, the issue is oversimplified, and the argument does not recognize the possibility that the answer might be unknowable or appear in the future.
