I think aliens are real and most likely the largest governments made deals to get technology in exchange for letting aliens experiment on people (abductions).

All this goes under conspiracy theories of course.

There were many people in the 80s and 90s waking up while being abducted and since they couldn’t prove anything, they weren’t believed.

To me it’s completely uninteresting if scientists will find germs that are alive or not on other planets. We are way past that, in my opinion.
