Unless some advanced creatures from another solar system have figured out how to warp time and space it is doubtful that we have been visited by space aliens. Travelling at the speed of light a carbon based, organic creature would have to live hundreds or even thousands of earth years to reach here.
To me, that indicates that an advanced civilization would send inorganic devices with artificial intelligence to visit other worlds. They would require less care and feeding during the long journey.
In my estimation, it is presumptuous to think there would be anything of interest here on Earth to aliens capable of interstellar space travel.
With more than a billion billion stars and ten times that many planets, there must be something of interest closer to home. Why pick Earth?
I do believe the conditions for life forms to exist on other planets, maybe millions of planets is very possible.
Let's say Earth was visited by aliens, but a million years ago. Nothing to see here folks.
The James Webb telescope has recently discovered 6 galaxies, each as big as the Milky Way. They were formed early after the Big Bang, which according to experts is impossible. We have a lot to learn.
Yes...unless they are within our solar system. They are studying ocean worlds, moons of Jupiter and Saturn, with the possibility of life in volcanic warmed seas, much like the strange animals at the deepest depths of our own oceans.
Or....a large craft, orbiting and undetected beyond Pluto, sustained and inhabited since biblical times, (See: Summerian texts) sending smaller craft visiting here now and then to harvest what they need, like cattle organs.....
If our earth is 4.5 billion years old, somewhere, maybe nearby, is a world like ours that is 5.5 billion years old.
BUT! I am researching many things when not banging nails or turning wrenches, including ancient texts. I gave up on the big hair Ancient Aliens guy, (" look...a tooth pick shaped tool! could it be that ancient aliens.. ")
Von Braun talked about using a false alien invasion as a threat to usher in space based weapons. I think a lot of the slow dribble from whistleblowers, as well as cattle mutilations, could be a part of that, and that is where CGI can play a part, and who is controlling our info..
I personally think that there is something in our food and water that is making people nuts, from climate to gender nonsense, and it is part of a big reset, set up.
As Klatuu said: "Only the Creator knows..."
(not sure I like the Gort robot police state idea..but looks like we are heading there also).
