To be fair, "unknown object" does not automatically mean "alien invasion!!111" or any kind of alien at all.

I don't think anyone disputes that, at times, unidentified objects appear. What I (and probably most others) dispute is that these are extraterrestrial in origin.

Agreed, unidentified objects actually are rather common, its just that whole they come from Mars thing that isnt so believable

I believe in the possiblity, but not out right positive. It is rather interessting, so I watch ancient aliens and UFO Hunters. But my fav show is Fact or Fake: Paranormal Files.

I read a sci-fi novel some time ago (sadly I can't remember the name or writer!), humans are using teleportation wormholes to travel across the galaxy, but the process uses a massive amount of energy, and after a set time they are sling-shot back to Earth again.

In it there is the first encounter of intelligent alien life - they are tall, with claws and terrifying to look at (like something from a Horror movie). When they get the chance, they attack the astronauts they are dealing with. In the end and some time later they finally converse with the aliens, and discover that the aliens themselves had no way to know how to communicate with the humans, to find out what was normal etc. So, they read the mind of one of the astronauts and made themselves look and behave like he expected them to.

So, Remilia, if you are the first human that aliens meet, perhaps that is how they will look?

that'd be a step forward in the right direction.

Im sorry. I did not mean to imply that UFOs are extraterrestial. They might be from the future or the past ^^
