A purely scientific view says there is just as much proof of aliens as any other "never found" element or being that we have "believed" existed. This includes all fairy tales and religions.
Its incredibly sad to see so many intelligent people spend very real money and time on fantasies... Not for entertainment but instead under the guise of seeking scientific truth.

I like to imagine that humans or protohumans left Africa not just for resources but because they wanted to know what was out there beyond the next mountain, river or ocean.
