Once people got educated, they dumped that belief, and seemed to have moved on the UFO belief.

Bottom line: Space is big. Really big. The nearest star would take 4.3 years to reach at the speed of light. Approaching that speed would take an enormous amount of energy. And there is plenty of scientific evidence that no physical being can go faster than the speed of light.

Add to that the issues with space/time as you approach the speed of light, and the fact that we have never, since looking for them starting in the early 70's, picked up any radio signals, leads me to only one conclusion: We have never been visited by alien life. And if intelligent life is out there, it's really far away. And rare.

As a fan of Star Trek and many things science fiction, I hate to say this but - most likely, we will never encounter life outside of Earth. And alien visitation is a fantasy.
