Considering that if such a significant proof were found every news agency on the planet would be running the story, I consider this as baloney, click-bait journalism for the deluded.
Space is vast and populated with trillions of planets, so the idea that aliens do exist is understandable and a very likely possibility. Why they would come to this insignificant little planet makes no sense to me.
Why did they pick Earth to visit?
5,000 years ago we did not send out any radio emissions. No TV, no signals of any kind. Did they just gaze at their sky one night and say "Lets go to Earth and mess with them"? Did their scientists build a craft and send their crew to a random nearest star? Did their advanced sensors detect Gold in them thar hills? Are we just a refueling stop for a distant destination? It's just plain silly to think that we can fathom the minds of aliens.
If they were here for mining resources why did they leave in the first place? Are they curious to see how that primitive mankind is fairing? Is interstellar travel so commonplace for them that light-years is a quick jaunt to the store? Are we so special and unique that they just can't get enough of us? What do we offer that everything in the light-years between us doesn't have? Would you walk 3,000 miles to visit a kid that you met one day at a village? How many times have you done that?
What is our commonality?
Life? Are we the only life they have detected within their reach? Right now, with what we know, life is unique to our planet. If we find any life anywhere else it will indicate that life is common. Especially if we find it within our own star system. If that is the case, life nay not be unique at all. Their star system may be abundant with life.
Comprehension? Who can say if we comprehend anything the way they do? It's possible that they know something that we don't. Maybe the fact that we share the same galactic orbit as them makes us 'Brothers of the Orion Arm' or something?
Humans are the aliens.
Seriously, I believe that what we call 'aliens' are nothing more than an 'evolved' form of humans who have taken technology too far and are trying to travel back to possibly interfere once again with nature hoping it will prevent the things it messed up.
It is more likely that what we call aliens is nothing more than the inhabitants of a future Earth that has developed time travel. That scenario justifies most of the alien evidence if not all of it. It also explains the reported behavior and experiences of the so-called abducted. It justifies the ancient astronauts, the Gods of history and the archeological finds.
Imagine if you can, a culture that was forced underground for a millennia or more. A human culture.
What could happen to the human body under restrictive evolutionary conditions. What would happen to our eyes if the light was diminished over long time periods. If our bodies were exposed to certain chemicals and radiations changing our pigment to grey. Over time we would advance technologically and lack of strenuous work would diminish our muscle mass causing us to have wispy frail bodies with large heads and big black eyes. Perhaps a multitude of genetic mutations could occur.
After a vast amount of time, scientists may unlock the time-travel secrets and missions might be sent back to recover "clean" genetic code. Not only to repair our own mutated code but perhaps to repopulate many species.
There are so many scenarios that point to aliens as us, traveling in time, that to ignore that possibility is tantamount to the type of selective thinking that makes us believe they are really aliens.
The Bible is silent about extraterrestrial life-forms as popularized in science fiction and the entertainment media, yet it is by no means silent about real extraterrestrial life in all its great abundance. The beings spoken of in the Bible are real. They have appeared and spoken directly to humans (Genesis 3:9-10; 4:9; 16:9). The Bible records the existence of many millions of angelic beings (Revelation 5:11) who are “ministering spirits” to mankind in fulfillment of God’s purpose (Hebrews 1:13-14).

Again, This makes no sense. It assumes that humans and this planet are significantly important enough to warrant such attention.
*Number of superclusters in the visible universe = 10 million
* Number of galaxy groups in the visible universe = 25 billion
* Number of large galaxies in the visible universe = 350 billion
* Number of dwarf galaxies in the visible universe = 7 trillion
* Number of stars in the visible universe = 30 billion trillion (3x10²²)
It is now larger numbers and cosmologists estimate that each STAR has at least 1 planet. Ours has 8 plus many planetoids and other formations. If we halve our own example and figure 4 planets per star that is 30 BILLION TRILLION times 4 = 120 BILLION TRILLION possible planets!
If you plug those numbers into the Drake Equation the results are significant.
N = R* • fp • ne • fl • fi • fc • L
N = The number of civilizations in the Universe whose electromagnetic emissions are detectable.
R* =The rate of formation of stars suitable for the development of intelligent life.
fp = The fraction of those stars with planetary systems.
ne = The number of planets, per solar system, with an environment suitable for life.
fl = The fraction of suitable planets on which life actually appears.
fi = The fraction of life bearing planets on which intelligent life emerges.
fc = The fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space.
L = The length of time such civilizations release detectable signals into space.
This only figures up to the point of being able to send communication into space. Reaching the stars physically is more complex.
The point is, why come here of all the other choices available?
