Why do people think that we're so special that aliens would ever want to visit us?
The question is pretty self-explanatory. Why? Seriously. Isn't this just the latest manifestation of the, very ancient, belief that mankind is located at the centre of all things, that we're the most important thing in the universe, an idea that was first challenged by the ideas of Copernicus (heliocentrism)?
I really don't care if you "saw something" in the sky you couldn't explain, and then came to the (totally unjustified) conclusion that it could only have been an alien spaceship. I've never seen anything in the sky I couldn't explain, and I've been staring at the clear night skies since I was ten years old. Meteors, satellites, and the ISS are up there, and the moon and stars of course, but not much else. Space is incredibly huge, and in most parts of it nothing much happens.
Look, let's admit it; we're alone. There aren't any spacefaring aliens out there. Investigate this phenomenon for yourself with impartiality, and you'll quickly come to the same realisation that I did, all those years ago.
