Seems like the more secular our society grows, the more popular the idea of UFOs gets. I think there's a deeply seated human need to believe in something supernatural / paranormal, felt by perhaps 95% of people. It could be the so-called "god gene" and perhaps it manifests itself in other bizarre beliefs in place of religion, if popular culture dictates this. It's just biology we're talking about, any belief of this nature should satisfy the need to believe in something out of the ordinary and exciting.
And another thing - not everything we can't explain is aliens. That leap of logic is no different from explaining away natural phenomena with the idea of a god or gods, as has been done in the past with everything from thunderstorms to earthquakes. This just supports what I said above.
Edit - I do think there's a good chance there's extraterrestrial life out there, but we can't know for sure yet. There certainly is no compelling evidence it has visited us.
its mostly based on things like the pyramids and coral castle that no one can explain how built.
