I'm still open minded enough to accept that there is a possibility that we might not be alone, that doesn't mean I believe that they do, just that it's a possibility. I would love to have proof that aliens exist, it'd be cool.

Many years ago, lots of people in this country and elsewhere in Western civilisation believed in the existance of unicorns, griffins, dragons, mermaids, firedrakes, hydras and a whole plethora of exotic and wonderful beasts. Despite centuries of the best efforts of science, no evidence of their ever or current presence on this planet has been found. I doubt that even the likes of Margaret or Mr D would now believe in such creatures, although had they been around a millenia ago they would probably have been in Accy town centre every sunday morning making speeches on such supposed entelechy.
The simple point is that, like the strange creatures of the past, there is no verifiable scientific evidence of of 'saucers' and little green men and so the only logical conclusion is that they do not exist.
