Not to throw cold water on the discussion, but do you think that contact or knowledge like this could be kept secret in this day and age? I think not.
I understand the desire to know, but there appears to be nothing to share. No matter how much some want it to be so.
That being said, I have zero doubt that intelligent life exists elsewhere. Given science as we know it, we may never know of the specifics of said life.
I disagree. This is a usually fair general rule of skepticism, but the “UFO” case is different due to its nature and the strong societal bias against it.
Nothing short of really hard physical evidence evaluated by multiple scientists or an official government announcement would validate the existence and even prior knowledge of UFOs in my view.
You have airmen reporting interacting with these things over a period of weeks and catching them on multiple sensors simultaneously, but people shrug it off because “it can’t be true” basically.
In fact, we dismiss unidentified phenomenon in the sky so casually that we actually seem to be missing foreign adversary drones and even outright spy balloons (a ridiculously unnecessary means of surveillance.)
On the more extreme end, you have the former Israeli Space Security chief saying in the media that UFOs exist and the U.S. and other nations have been working with a federation aliens for decades. Now sure, I think that this is obviously more likely to be a joke or psy-op rather than true — but he said it it in the media, and all they did is report it as a wacky story and move on. There was no serious move to investigate, and this was a very high level figure in a position to know.
I do not know if any form of intelligent life has or is visiting us, but I ask you this.. If either of these accounts were true — the more palatable one or even the incredible one, would anything be different?
I think the answer is no.
