While I understand this, we are living in a MASSIVE universe. We know theirs other planets/stars/etc out there, and can prove it. The only thing we haven't proven is their is life outside of it with hard evidence.. But in reality, if our planet was able to produce life that's crazy to think we're the only place that can.
Not only that but we've taken trips to the moon in outer space. If we were able to do it, who's to say other's can't. We have proof that traveling in space is entirely possible.
There may be no "proof" of UFO's, but in reality we're flying around planes in the Sky, sending shuttles deep into outer space. So it's proven that you can fly, leave the planet, travel to another one, etc..
The only thing that people question about is the distance. If we can travel to the moon, it would be damn easy for another more advanced/longer lived planet to travel to the earth. Say they started 100 years before us, imagine how much better their technology would be.
Since you appear to be fast working your way through the logical fallacies in this and your previous posts in this thread, I'm going to devalue your entire argument based on the fact that you used their instead of there.
Perhaps that's for the best, as you seem to have an incomprehension of space, physics, the speed of light & the difference in scale of achievement of travelling hundreds of thousands of miles vs tens-hundreds-thousands of lightyears.
Moon at its furthest from us: 252596 miles
1 light year: ~6 trillion miles.
You could go to the moon ~24 milion times before you'd travel 1 single light year, to put that into perspective.
The nearest planet to us we have found to date that could support life is 42 light years away. Or more than 1 billion trips to the moon away.
By assuming that aliens have or are visiting us, you make a lot of assumptions, for example at least one of:
1) That somehow aliens can bend space time and use that to travel as a whole without being torn apart. A theory not particularly widely accepted by modern science.
2) Failing 1, that aliens could somehow build a ship to travel close to the speed of light. (You need exponentially more energy the closer you get.) You're talking energy beyond our comprehension of energy on earth as a planet. You're also assuming that the aliens within 100 light years of us are evolved enough to be that intelligent in the first place, which again, is highly improbable.
3) Failing 2, that aliens have managed to devise a way to survive tens/hundreds of thousands of years on a space ship, and drift around in space for some reason.
I believe that aliens exist, in some form, don't get me wrong. However it's a huge stretch to believe that there are intelligent aliens visiting us, and it'll take a lot of proof to convince the average intelligent person of that. I could see aliens on the news and I wouldn't believe it. Comparing its believability with a shooting (shootings happen every day) is utterly ridiculous.
