Or maybe we are being watched/monitored and since most of the population can't see due to light pollution, they just can't imagine that there could be such a thing..
I live in a place where light pollution does not exist and there are some nights when I go out to look at the sky I see a variety of objects, there are things out there moving about that don't appear to be made on this planet. In this area we can usually see satellites and the ISS... but then there are those other things thtat aren't in that category and couldn't be by looking at their behavior in motion.
I saw several of those "things" during the recent lunar eclipse, and I was not alone but with very intelligent humans who were intrigued by what we were seeing. It was so dark during the eclipse that the milky way was reflected on the lake below as we watched the sky on a high butte. Some of those flying things were moving way too fast across the sky and not always in a straight trajectory-like right angles and were only visible with binos, which we all had, a couple were visible without binos... but we all saw them and talked about them for a long while.
There are other things/beings out there and I think it's arrogant and foolish to think we are the only form of intelligent life.
There is a certain "set of beliefs" that are used to control how we think and interact on this planet and variance from that "set" is usually dealt with via swift ridicule and condemnation, sad but that's what we do. Open mindedness on this subject isn't one of our strong suits.
