A few decades ago, I used to believe that star systems, galaxies, and even the universe itself was largely a product of design, and either extra-terrestrials were a part of that design, or they weren't.
I didn't believe in the randomness of extra-terrestrials interfering with these things that were designed, unless of course it was "designed" to be that way. I also believed that given the vastness of the universe that various lifeforms could be created galaxies(or farther) apart that would prevent them from interfering with one another e.g. a form of encapsulation.
Without remaining within a specific scope of "aliens" though such as the greys for example and expanding the "scope" to include the possible existence of any and all lifeforms beyond the terrestrial sphere. I would have to say yes. I do believe.
These days I think we even got entities popping in and out of existence within the terrestrial sphere itself.
Nothing wrong with believing. I used to believe and followed every story.
I still keep an eye on the UFO phenomena but it's just entertainment really.
Regarding this thread about the effects that might accompany such 'encounters'. My comment was really about the psychological, not the physical if that makes sense.
I'm an old Jungian of sorts. I say that as it might clarify my perspective a little.
