Sorry, but for what it's worth, yes they did. It's an interesting story premise (which has been done before, somewhat), but there's no evidence whatsoever to suggest that it may be happening in reality.

You have to remember that the burden of proof does not lie with us to try and disprove whatever you imagine. That simply isn't reasonable (and unfair). If you want anybody (including yourself) to believe that your idea might be the truth, you have to come up with evidence that it could be. Not necessarily you personally, but if you want to make the claim, the responsibility really is yours.

The first step, I think, is to demonstrate that aliens exist. Then we can start talking about seven species of aliens and what they do with their criminals.

In case you're curious, I hold religious claims to the same standard. Prove that god exists (just not in this forum, as partisan discussions are against the rules), then we can talk about his recommended diet plan.
