>>1204401Let's separate a)"Aliens are very real and exist in various places across the Milky Way" from b)"All of that is true while they've also been in regular contact with humanity, such as specifically with the American government".
The former is so well-established among really experienced scientists and has been for so long that I'd dare to call it a "scientific consensus". Hell, even Nikola Tesla stated that he'd picked up radio wave messages of extraterrestrial origin, and that was all the way back around the freaking year of 1900. Yes, even before the First World War began.
I'd say that the odds, though, of direct and clear-cut alien communication with humanity in which we've understood what they've said, and in which they know that we've understood, is zero. It hasn't happened. Not at all.
I'm confident because if it had happened, then it'd have come out. There's no chance such a thing could've stayed secret. Nope.
Also, if it's real, I'd love to visit the 'Planet of the Vixens'. Yes. I said it.
