No alien intelligence has ever paid a visit to planet earth.
There are sound scientific reasons why this is impossible.
Even if it were possible, the aliens' return to their home would be problematic.
C'mon Blade, here's proof they have visited us.

So do you think Area 51 really does exist?
51 intelligence agents say that Area 51 is Russian disinformation.
Personally, I don't know if there is intelligent life out there or not, If there is, then I suspect they are far ahead of our feeble minds and probably use things that we won't discover for hundreds or thousands of years. I've been following reports as far back as 1947, but that doesn't mean I'm a 100% believer in little grey or green men. Maybe we'll learn something when the files are made public, as if I trust the government not to lie.

There are Janet flights going in and out of Las Vegas to Area 51 every day.

Janet flights are the planes used to go back and forth from Vegas to 51. They're not commercial flights, they just call 'em Janet. They are probably government planes or government contracted planes. I don't know if they have any markings on them. ( I don't think they do)

If there is intelligent life out there, why would you suspect they far ahead of us? They could just as easily be primitive, living in caves. Their world would be no older than earth, maybe even much younger.
Here's another video from a philosopher of science and an astro-biologist. This one's worth watching.

The Privileged PlanetIf they do have the ability to reach us, and that's a big if, they would surely be much more advanced than we are.

Ain't gonna happen, Peaver.
The nearest star from our solar system, Alpha Centauri, is 5 light years distant. If an alien intelligence were capable of achieving near light speed, It would take them around 6 years to get here and 6 years to get home, but, because of the Lorenze factor and relativity, by the time they got home, their planet would be 50 or 60 years older, their children would older than they.
And, as the distance from their home to ours is increased, say 50 light years, they would get home after their grand kids had grown old and died. Even their homes and cities may no longer exist. Go farther out, and you see the problem.
You see, matter cannot exceed the cosmic speed limit (186,000 miles per sec), so at a 1000 light years distance, it would take them over 1000 years to get here and another 1000 to get home, so after 2000 years . . . well, you see where this is going.

Like I said, I don't know, but it's fun to think about it. If they're thousands of years more advanced than us, who's to say they may have some way of travel no one has even imagined. I'm not trying to argue with you Blade, I'm just saying the average person probably doesn't know any more than I do.
