Thank you for kicking ass and bringing the PAIN!

>That question could be taken many ways.
Absolutely agree on this one. Only gonna comment to link this back to another post about "the nearest star". Which is still over 4 light years away. Going back to the soft disclosure post, Q added, "Think of the vastness of space" (or something like that).
None of what was stated implied that aliens are visiting our planet. But it is incredibly naive to think we are the only "intelligent" life forms in the Universe. It's just that space is so friggin' huge, with vast distances in between each point of interest. Thus, making it less and less likely for two life-forms to cross paths. Not impossible. However, nothing implied that any other lie form was in contact or visiting our planet.
As a bonus, I would like to share a little tidbit of info. If the early stages of Life on our planet developed under the conditioned that are being proposed in the Saturn Mythology (Saturn being Earth's original sun), then we used to orbit a red dwarf. This is the most common type of star we've observed in our galaxy (making up a little over 50%). We have one of these red dwarfs "orbitting" Alpha Centauri, our nearest star. We have another red dwarf (Barnard's star) currently at 6 light years away, but both of these two will be closer to 3 light years away in less than 10,000 years. There is another fun fact about the type of orbit I believe we had at the time. Tidal locking appears fairly frequently in our own solar system. If that's the way we used to orbit Saturn "in the beginning", it would be an incredibly beneficial arrangement for early "Life" to develop the way it did. So, it's quite possible that "Life" is flourishing EVERYWHERE it possibly can in space!
Electricity is the Qi to "Life" ;)
