You're attempting to "tie" these 2 ideas together...they are different.

Given the vastness of the Universe, there are very few people who think that ET life isn't out there, somewhere...however...given the complete lack of credible, convincing evidence that aliens are visiting this planet, there is absolutely no reason to think that aliens actually are visiting Earth.

"Suggestive" is your escape word...your use of it as an obvious "cop-out" for a lack of credible, convincing evidence.

It's as Gillianren posts...it doesn't matter what you "allow" for, A.DIM, or what something "suggests" to you, because without actual evidence, it is all just baseless speculation.
