At the risk of continuing an off-topic discussion, here's my 5 eurocents worth:
Is there life, including intelligent life, elsewhere in the universe?
I'm sure of it, if only for statistical reasons. Also, life here on Earth shows us that life appears anywhere and everywhere it possibly can, and quite a few places you'd think it couldn't. I like to believe that this is a (literally) universal principle.
Is this intelligent life visiting us?
Let me put it like this: If the choice is between
A. Intelligent alien beings regularly visiting us for no other apparent purpose than occasionally kidnapping unsuspecting North Americans and exposing them to various experiments of a (usually) reproductive nature*,
and
B. A combination of bogus witnesses, misinterpretations of the observed, faulty memories with regards to the observed, classified aircraft, rare meteorological phenomena and eating the wrong kind of mushrooms,
I'm firmly with B. on this.

*) A friend of mine once pointed out that the fact that most "alien abduction" stories seem to come from the US is not in itself evidence that only North Americans are abducted. It is merely an indication that North Americans are the only ones the aliens give back after the experiments. Make of that what you will.... :![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
