Somebody is trying to raise the credibility with hoaxes and as far as I know inside the academic community there is simply no evidence. Anyone who claims otherwise is ready for mental institution. At least those are my two cents.
Speaking as someone not unready for the institution myself, I disagree. There are people who believe what they're saying but are perfectly mentally healthy. They just have one (hopefully only one!) irrational belief. One irrational belief does not necessity for a trip to the institution make. Believing in extraterrestrial visitation does not generally make you a danger to yourself or others.

What's your evidence that they're actors?
