I have a good friend who swears up and down that he was visited by aliens out by the Pacific Ocean in California one night with two friends who reportedly experienced it as well (I haven't had a chance to talk to them about it). This allegedly occurred in the early 2000s, according to my friend. I forgot the exact year.
In full disclosure, my friend did spend a few weeks in a mental hospital once, but he is not an idiot. He has a bachelors degree from Cal Poly, and, whatever mental issues he may have once had, he is fully lucid and coherent today. He also has a good job, which he has had for a long time now.
I'm deeply skeptical about any stories about people who claim to have seen/been visited by aliens. While I think such incidents are possible, I lean towards the "I won't believe it until I see it" camp. I definitely think it's possible that there is intelligent life somewhere out there in space, but I'm very skeptical that any such aliens have ever visited earth if they exist at all.
And yet I do believe my friend that he experienced something, but the skeptical side of me thinks that he experienced some kind of hallucination. I think that he genuinely believes that he was visited by aliens, but I don't believe that he was actually visited by aliens if that makes sense. I don't think my friend is crazy or stupid.
But I still like to research UFO/alien sightings for fun, and there are definitely a lot of crazy stories that aren't easily explained by weather phenomenons, hoaxes, crazy people, etc. Anyway, I'm curious what other people on this site think.
