Most people on the planet would agree that chances are good that we are not alone in the galaxy. Not to mention the entire universe. There is still no proof though. Sure, people are free to believe what they like.
Me, I dont deal in belief, I deal in knowledge. Bottom line, the evidence for extraterrestrial visitors has not in any way convinced the scientific community.
Actually, there are scientist who believe that ET visitation has been taking place here. Even astronomers have recorded their own UFO sightings.

The fact that so many UFO and alien sightings conform to rather standard depictions is taken by some as evidence that the observers are not mistaken. They must be seeing the same things!? I think that its more likely that they see what they see because of their expectations, which are based on stereotypes created largely by the mass media, movies and tv shows. In this respect, and maybe some others as well, UFO an alien sightings might be compared to Santa Claus sightings.
I seriously doubt that, especially when there are tons and tons of data evidence that supported the eyewitness accounts of artificial flying objects whose performance characteristics firmly excluded balloons and other conventional aircraft, and the data shows that these flying objects were flying much faster (over 9000 mph) than the X-15 years before that craft even flew and which never flew beyond 6000 mph, a UFO was clocked at over 7200 mph over the Washington D.C. area in 1952.

SCIENCE: Blips on the Scopes
"Air traffic was light at Washington Airport one midnight last week, and the radar scope of the Civil Aeronautics Authority was almost clear. At 12:40 a.m. a group of bright blips showed. The operator estimated that they were about 15 miles southwest of Washington. Then the blips disappeared abruptly and reappeared a few seconds later over northeast Washington. The operator called his boss, Senior Controller Harry Barnes, 39, a graduate of the Buffalo Technical Institute who has worked for the CAA as an electronics expert since 1941. The operator told Barnes: "Here are some flying saucers for you."
"Barnes laughed at first, but the blips kept popping up all over the scope. They sometimes hovered, sometimes flew slowly and sometimes incredibly fast. Technicians checked the radar; it was in good working order."
Over the White House. "Barnes began to worry when he saw the blips apparently flying over the White House and other prohibited areas. He called the airport control tower. Sure enough, its radar showed the strange blips too. When the towermen measured the speed of a fast blip, they found that it had flown for eight miles at
7,200 m.p.h."

Several recent television shows have soberly addressed the possibility that alien craft are violating our air space, occasionally touching down long enough to allow their crews to conduct bizarre (and, in most states, illegal) experiments on helpless citizens.
Violations of civilian and military airspaces by UFOs are well-known and have been reported in the media from time to time and many of those accounts are also backed by data and other evidence that corroborated the eyewitness accounts.
