I'm gonna get downvoted to hell, but watch the doc, The Phenomenon. It's pretty damn convincing.
As you said, yeah it's a leap of faith without (at least publicly available) empirical evidence, but who cares. It's fun thinking about the possibilities of others out there, interacting, and sharing with them. Even better if they share their tech so we can travel distances off and away from this crumbling rock.
In any case, I believe we've already been contacted, at least since nuke testing, and that the US andnother govs have recovered craft that are handled by contractors. Watch the doc. It's not woo woo crap. I mean Harry Reid is in it and he implies a lot to say thr least.

I really enjoyed The Phenomenon if you're into UFO's - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onEXmLX2ZZQ
Also this reddit post has a bunch of old UFO documentaries going back to the 50's before there was so much "Alien" and modern Scifi out for those that are interested in the topic. Really interesting:

> Furthermore, we're unlikely to ever encounter life outside our solar system anyway.
Eh idk man. If what's been spoken about for decades by seemingly credible government, IC, military, and private officials across the world, and if what Chris Mellon and Luis Elizondo have continuously been hinting at/breadcrumbing/speaking to over the last few years comes out, we already have.
If you're interested, check out the historical clips gov and military (US, UK, Russia, etc) interviews on this channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrxesxFeskSt6TMMm9rnqfw/videos
Would also recommend the documentary The Phenomenon, as well as recent Ross Coulthart and Luis Elizondo interviews on youtube.

What is crazy is that if the people in this movie are not lying, then every person on earth should be trying to solve this mystery. It would take crazy technology and time for anything to travel from another galaxy and be able to handle this environment without slowly studying and incorporating our DNA into theirs over a period of time.(60 years is nothing when you think about it) What is even crazier is that a whole civilization could be living in our own ocean without detection, especially if said civilization had the technology to get here in the first place. Look it all sounds crazy but nothing is crazier than aliens from another planet actually finding us and traveling the distance. The intelligence and technology to do this is not even comparable using living things born on earth. (The difference between the intelligence of Albert Einstein and an ant is far less than Albert Einstein and some living thing which is able to make it to earth and live here undetected for 60/? years )
Honestly if the UFO thing, which has been an issue since the 40's, turn out to be some counter intelligence mind control military garbage..
My theory: Humans are at an evolutionary point where they can't advance without outside help. For example we think we are smart ("Mars is out next home") yet we cannot even stop ourselves from dumping chemicals into our oceans, knowing it is making it harder for us to reproduce.
I looked up the first example you gave, and it doesn't seem even remotely close. Harry Reid is saying that the US government is covering up evidence of "possible close encounters with UFOs". And that we should "at least be spending some money to study all these phenomena? Shouldn’t we study this stuff? The answer is yes. That’s all this was about". He also does not claim to have any definitive answers himself, about whether aliens exist and if aliens are in regular communication with humanity.
Haim Eshed, on the other hand, is claiming definitively "exactly what sort of agreements have been made between the aliens and the US" and that "Trump is aware of them, and that he was on the verge of disclosing their existence. However, the Galactic Federation reportedly stopped him from doing so, saying they wished to prevent mass hysteria". These claims are not even in the same ballpark.

> The US government has key evidence of possible close encounters with UFOs but has been hiding it for years, according to former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. The 80-year-old politician claimed in a new documentary, “The Phenomenon,” that “there’s more than one up there” and even believes they may have interfered with American weapons.
> Asked if he was saying that “there’s some evidence that still hasn’t seen the light of day,” Reid insisted, “I’m saying most of it hasn’t seen the light of day.” “We have it — it’s there,” continued the former Nevada senator, who instigated secret UFO programs in the Pentagon. “They did everything they could to stop the program from going forward … they wanted nothing to do with this,” Reid said of the government’s resistance to his program trying to expose the truth. “Nobody has to agree why it’s there. But shouldn’t we at least be spending some money to study all these phenomena? Shouldn’t we study this stuff? The answer is yes. That’s all this was about.
