Well, we all may be able to talk rationally about seeing an alien on a forum or one on one, but I have no doubt an alien showing up in some downtown city would cause mass panic. We are still stupid creatures and I'm sure a species advanced enough to actually get to our planet would consider us lesser animals and would try to prevent that hysteria. Much like how we hide from animals when trying to film them in their natural habitats.
Like I said earlier, I try not to give much credence to the ancient alien theories and how they helped advance early civilizations, but I really do believe in aliens. I also believe they have visited our planet in some capacity. The universe is too large for intelligent life not to exist elsewhere, we have a very young sun compared to other solar systems with planets that could potentially support life, and I think a species that could travel space would be very interested in exploring all forms of life including our planet.
