Certainly.

The claim that these UFOs are ETs is an extraordinary claim. For me to believe such a claim, it would require extraordinary proof. This is not extraordinary proof in my opinion. Therefore, it is more likely they are mistaken.
I don't find it extraordinary when physics and astrophysics theories arguably suggest Earth should have been visited by now*. Considering the age, size, makeup of the universe, the fact that we ourselves have become a spacefaring species in the blink of an eye evolutionarily, considering what M theory and superstring may offer the ETH, as well what recorded human history suggests (UFOs and beings from the skies abound).
I tend to think applying "extraordinary" to the ETH or visitation is remnant-thinking of 20th century science.

Don't get me wrong though, I don't think UFO cases are "proof" by any means, only that they may be suggestive of visitation.
