I'm not sure whether or not I personally believe these videos to be true, but I've been watching a lot of fun paranormal encounter story videos on YouTube lately. One trend I've noticed throughout all the many I've watched is that nobody ever mentions actually getting attacked by these creatures they supposedly encountered. They always says that they were scared of the unidentified beasts but never (aside from the weird, outlandish way that they look) has there ever been a legit reason for them to be afraid of these things. Maybe these creatures aren't evil at all and whenever they appear to humans (whatever they are), maybe all they really want is a friend.

Most of these aliens and whatnot, according to the stories, seem to appear mainly to children. It makes perfect sense because children are more accepting of strange phenomenon. Children are encouraged to believe in things like Santa, The Easter Bunny, The Tooth Fairy, The Sandman, and Elf on the Shelf so naturally, something like a weird creature showing up in their room is less likely to scare an innocent children then an adult who knows full well that things like that aren't normal.

Perhaps the only goal these creatures have in meeting humans is to be loved. If they are in fact real, maybe we unknowingly hurt these truly innocent entities' feelings when we label them "monsters", "demons", "ghosts", or other terms often associated with fear and evil.

The idea of a galaxy full of weird humanoid creatures doesn't scare me in the least. What I do find truly however, is the thought that in a galaxy full of thousands of planets that humans have yet to even discover and a universe far too vast for the human mind to possibly comprehend, human beings are the only living things in the unbelievably vast galaxy. Why are we specials? Although I am skeptical because of how aliens are often used as popular topics lies, hoaxes, tabloid magazines, urban legends, and clickbait-y videos, I would be shocked if the theory that humans are alone in this galaxy ever turned out to be true.
