Aliens? Just stop it already!
People are always ready to jump to conclusions about aliens. Yes they are out there somewhere in the universe, that is a mathematical certainty. But the chances that there is even ONE other technical civilization anywhere here in our own galaxy are very small - close to zero. Even if there were one here the chances that they would be close enough to detect us and send an unmanned probe here are also close to zero. Manned - fahgeddabowdit!! Any aliens smart enough to get a manned mission to other star systems would also be smart enough to realize that there is no good reason to do so; it ain't happening.
People in general need more study about the incredible distances between stars in a galaxy and the impracticality of manned interstellar space flight. Also a thorough study of a field of mathematics known as Probability Theory is in order. And throw in a sufficient study of how life germinates on a planet and the odds against intelligent life developing would also be recommended.
Whenever anyone thinks that aliens might be here, or have come here, or are on their way here.....uh.......no they're not.
Always look to the most likely explanations first, not the most farfetched.
