I'm not saying there's no aliens out there. Hundreds of billions of stars in the average galaxy, hundreds of billions of galaxies, and our absolutely standard normal boring main-sequence G-type sun had life evolve around it? Statistically speaking there's plenty of life out there. The idea that Earth alone evolved life in the entire universe is ridiculous.

But visiting Earth? Nah. I want to see authentic video from multiple angles and the video before I'll believe. Half the planet is walking around with HD video cameras on their person. If aliens were regularly visiting Earth it would have been all over social media by now.
