Of course that possibility exists that they come here via time machine. A much more implausible reality IMO, because of all sorts of butterfly effect reasons, but sure. I don't dismiss that entirely, even though I think it highly unlikely. So if you would have been critical if I did dismiss the time travel option entirely, does that mean you are saying that time travel is something one must always leave room for? How is that different than leaving room for extraterrestrial visitations?
I just don't get how you go from "I think it would be pretty stupid not to believe in the possibility of extraterrestrial life." on one hand and then say ...its pretty stupid to believe in the possibility that these possible extraterrestrials have reached Earth in some way. Either with spacecraft, or time, or hey, another possibility is they can travel between parallel universes, or some other means we know nothing about.
Why is the existence of aliens a plausible thing for you, but their ability to travel to our world, in whatever way they have available, is a ridiculous thought? I would think logically you have to either dismiss both or be open to both.
