I'm not buying any extraterrestrial stories. I'm sure there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, but what would attract them here? We've only had radio transmissions for about 100 years, and now with digital technology the signal to noise ratio of any transmission is approximately zero. The nearest technologically advanced planet is probably at least hundreds of light years away, so even the faint signals we may have been sending haven't even reached them yet, and may not for thousands of years. I also think there may be some kind of intelligent communication in higher dimensions that we cannot perceive, or that we only dimly perceive as some kind of spiritual experience. But even if that's true, what would attract those beings here?
I'm still betting on poor eyesight and hysteria to explain almost all drone and UFO stuff.
