Let me back up Slang on this. I, too, have no belief in extraterrestrial visitation by aliens. I have seen and heard nothing that would convince me and do not expect me to any time soon, though I would love to be surprised. However, I have seen far too much about real people of varying status claiming that they do believe in alien visitation to dismiss it all as "actors." Frankly, it's as illogical as assuming that there are no genuine mistakes, that there are only hoaxes. It's assuming malicious intent where there is no reason to. (Except possibly on the part of the filmmaker, but it's much easier to find the relevant clips than to deal with actors.) And, of course, you don't have to trust the internet on this stance. There are such things as books and magazines. There have been interviews in the TV news. Now, it's possible those are all actors as well. But doesn't that begin to get a little unbelievable?
