That would be one thing, if Star Trek would just go out of their way to admit that ALIENS ARE NOT HUMANS WITH FUNNY SKINS.
Jesus christ, if there is any kind of "alien coverup", it's because the government would know damn well that even the most dedicated ufo cultists and sci-fi gamers would lose their fucking nuts if "muh aliens" turned out to look more bestial than humany.
I'm with you on the interplanetary pit stop thing. But not thinking intelligent life exists anywhere else is kind of a scary thought. Unless FTL travel is possible and we're meant to conquer the universe.
FTL travel would violate fundamental laws of physics, so it's probably not possible no matter how advanced our technology becomes.
If we eventually end up replacing ourselves with sentient machines, it's conceivable that they could construct an interstellar civilization, as traveling for a few decades or even centuries would probably not be too onerous from their perspective, but even that I think is a bit far fetched.

There are no aliens. The Earth is not an interplanetary pit stop for extraterrestrial voyeurs or conquerors, and they probably don't even exist.
